Release Notes for TYPO3 4.5.3

This document contains information about TYPO3 version 4.5.3 which was released on May 24th, 2011.

News

This version is a maintenance release and contains bugfixes only. All users of previous 4.5 versions are strongly advised to upgrade.

Since 4.5.2 the development of TYPO3 is now using Git as a versioning system. Together with this change, a new packaging system was developed which was used to package 4.5.3 (creating the .tar.gz and the .zip files). A small change was done to the introduction package in the tar.gz format, which now contains symlinks pointing to the current typo3_src. This allows more easy switching of the typo3_src pointer later on.

Please report any packaging error you might encounter to the Distribution project.
