The TYPO3 community released TYPO3 4.7 beta3 as the next step on our roadmap to the final release of 4.7.0, which will be released on April 24th, 2012.
As usual, beta versions only includes bug fixes. On our road to the final release, two release candidates will follow in the next four weeks.
TYPO3 4.7 will ship with an interesting set of new features, possibilities and bug fixes. Further information can be found in our previous release notes.
Looking at the currently pending issues, we just realized that the media element needs further modifications to be shipped with a final and stable version. If you are experiencing upgrade difficulties, you can be sure that we are still working on that. Besides that, TYPO3 4.7.0 looks promising and and will be available just in time - on April 24th 2012.
Since we currently are missing feedback from more testers and early adopters, we kindly ask you to tell us your experiences and feedback on TYPO3 4.7 - especially concerning upgrading older TYPO3 versions to the new one.
Besides all those amazing new features, about 200 bugs have been fixed since the release of TYPO3 4.6 in October 2011.

We also have an Introduction Package as well as an Government Package for this release, which allows to test the new features right away on a fresh installation. Experienced users can of course opt to upgrade an existing installation to the new 4.7.0beta3 version, but keeping in mind that this is still a snapshot of our development so far, and more changes and fixes will be included in the next releases.
You can download the beta packages of TYPO3 4.7.
