End of life for TYPO3 4.2

Categories: Development Created by François Suter
It was well-known by looking at our maintenance policy, but here is the official announcement: it's time to say goodbye to TYPO3 4.2.
The release of TYPO3 4.5 marks the end of the road for TYPO3 4.2. A final release (4.2.18) will take place in March. No further bugs nor security issues will be fixed after that point in this branch. You are strongly advised to upgrade all installations running this version of TYPO3. Please refer to the version matrix for information about all available packages and their status. The maintenance policy describes the general life cycle of all versions. TYPO3 4.2 will be remembered - in particular - for the "Cleaner backend" project. It marked the start of our long road towards a better user interface in the TYPO3 backend, which has culminated with the release of TYPO3 4.5 (with, of course, more to come in the future). It's thus time to bid farewell to the first TYPO3 version that showed us we could hope for a better backend and make it true. So long, and thanks for all the fish (<link http: en.wikipedia.org wiki>*)!
