TypoScript

Completely new in this version is the so called t3editor by Tobias Liebig which makes it possible to highlight TypoScript when editing TypoScript templates in the Web->Template module.  


The TypoScript Object Browser now displays comments from your TS configurations. 

Rich Text Editor

In this release the RTE also has again seen some good improvements. The biggest, and likely most welcomed change for our many Mac users is the support of Safari 3, both on Mac and Windows machines. Other than that the RTE now supports even more semantically related tags, such as blockquote, q, sub, and sup. 

A feature which was partly available in 4.1 already but unusable because of a typo is now fully implemented. Extensions can now link to records like tt_news items directly using a RTE wizard. This will not work out of the boy though as it needs support from the extensions which need to handle the rendering in the frontend. 

RTEmagic images are now duplicated when records are copied/versioned in tcemain. This is a long awaited feature that solves the bug that RTE magic images shared between two records would result in both disappearing if the one was deleted. Therefore this is also an important fix for Workspaces.
