Updated release timeline for TYPO3 4.0

The release timeline for TYPO3 4.0 has been updated in order to have a final release together with the launch of the new corporate design.

Postponing the release of TYPO3 4.0 will at the same time give the developers more time to prepare a thorough testing phase of the new features.

The new schedule consists of these (tentative) dates:

December 20

• Release TYPO3 4.0 beta 1
• 4 weeks for testing

March 2006

• Feature freeze
• Release 4.0 RC1
• Two weeks for testing (one week more than usually because of T3BOARD)

+1 week

• Maybe: TYPO3 4.0 Final
• Otherwise: 4.0 RC2
• If another RC is needed, each one will add 1 more week for additional tests.

 

You're all invited to help us testing when the first beta has been released. For any questions about the upcoming release just contact Michael Stucki (release manager) or Robert Lemke (R&D committee).
