v0.5.0:
IMPORTANT: pt_conference now requires TYPO3 4.x (static data in ext_tables_static+adt.sql adapted for usage with TYPO3 4.0+ to solve a former compatibilty problem on extension installation) and a PHP5 enabled server with XML-RPC (new PHP5 dependency extension pt_euvatcheck used, see below)!
