TYPO3 3.6.0 Focuses on Standards Compliance in Latest Release
Version 3.6.0 of TYPO3, an Open Source Content Management System based on PHP, has been published today.
ROLLA, MO (PRWEB) May 2, 2004--Version 3.6.0 of TYPO3, an open source content
management system based on PHP, has been published today. Major improvements
include the implementation of XHTML compliant output of all standard content
elements for creating websites adhering to accessibility rules, complete UTF-8
support and a cleaned and documented core.
After 12 months, the new
version 3.6.0 has been published by Kasper Skårhøj and the core team of
developers of TYPO3, a leader among the open source content management
systems.
An important new feature is the compliance of XHTML standards
for all standard content elements, enabling adherence to accessibility
requirements. For this purpose, a built-in CSS Wizard has been completed, which
allows for creation and maintenance of totally customized Stylesheets without
third-party software and transfer of data.
Version 3.6.0 also introduces
database abstraction, which allows for the possibility to employ other RDBMs
than the previous limitation to MySQL. All database systems supported by AdoDB
or PEAR::DB can be integrated, implementation of PostgreSQL and Oracle 9i are
underway. The improved architecture also permits the usage of multiple databases
in one TYPO3 system and storage and retrieval of data to and from XML files.
More supported database systems will follow shortly.
Additionally the
system, which has been available since 2000, has undergone a major overhaul of
the structure and quality of the source code, including a complete documentation
of core functionality. This enables developers to integrate modules even more
efficiently.
More improvements include a new API for text editors as an
alternative to the existing Internet Explorer-dependent Rich Text Editor, a
possibility to define and store content elements with XML notation and full
UTF-8 support throughout the system.
