    Announcing Release of TYPO3 Version 4.1
    06.03.2007
    BAAR, SWITZERLAND - Today the TYPO3 Core Team has released the latest
    version of their very successful Open Source Project. Where 4.0 mainly
    focused on improving usability features on the editor level, version
    4.1.0 also brings many like improvements to System Administrators and
    developers. The most eye-catching features are Inline Relational Record
    Editing (IRRE), AJAX Page and File Tree, command line based clean-up
    functions, and an improved Extension Manager.

    The functionality IRRE provides is groundbreaking in the relational
    editing capabilities of the TYPO3 core elements. The main feature is as
    simple as editing sub-records inside the parent record and being able to
    add new sub-records just by clicking on an icon. This greatly simplifies
    editing of related records in TYPO3 and makes it possible to work with
    complex data structures in the TYPO3 Backend from a single window versus
    many.

    A new AJAX Page and File Tree makes expanding and collapsing branches of
    the page and file tree in the TYPO3 Backend much quicker while lowering
    system load. Editors and administrators will benefit from this since
    expanding the page tree doesn't require the whole page to be refreshed
    any more. Instead the system only fetches what is needed.

    Version 4.1 features a brand new command line interface from where
    System Administrators can execute a range of command line scripts
    written by Kasper Skårhøj. This "low level" system extension has
    functions for checking database integrity and cleaning up such as lost
    files and references, flushing deleted records and published versions
    and much more. There is a howto-text file inside the low level extension
    that describes in detail how the process should be run.

    The Extension Manager has been improved in a manner that it now stores
    the list of extensions from the TYPO3 Extension Manager (TER) in the
    local database. This not only speeds up processes but also requires less
    memory, which is of great importance for a Content Management System
    that is used not only on enterprise level but also on large scale in
    smaller business environments.
    4.1 includes a number of other performance enhancements in both page
    caching and database access. TYPO3 sites running on shared hosting
    platforms with tight memory limits will welcome these new features.

    Besides these major improvements, the new release contains dozens of
    smaller features, system enhancements, and bug fixes. This version
    focuses clearly on usability in every aspect of the system as the one
    goal that has been set by the Development Team for all 4.x releases.
