[TYPO3-core] Backports of Features

[Ernesto Baschny]

Hi Markus,

the CardLayout won't be backported to 4.5 (at least for now).

The HTTP Request2 feature should be observed in 4.6 if it really solves
all the linkvalidator issues. This is the reason why it is targeted for
backporting later on. Otherwise we would need to write half of the this
code into the linkvalidator to fix current issues with external URL checker.

Another candidate is an updated contrib/SwiftMailer.

Maybe you know about other interesting stuff that deserves backporting?
I would also consider performance enhancements and usability fixes as
potential candidates for our 4.5 LTS release.

I will discuss the backporting (the when and how etc) in the Release
Team Meeting in the next week, because we will need a different release
workflow consisting of at least one or two release candidates before
rolling our a 4.5 release with those backports.

Cheers,
Ernesto
