Change log

Version 13.3.0

[FEATURE] Warn before deleting a model object that has connected relations — a confirmation dialog now lists affected relations and lets the user cancel or proceed.
[FEATURE] Warn before discarding unsaved changes when switching extensions — a confirmation dialog prevents accidental data loss.
[FEATURE] Introduce Storybook for isolated Lit component development.
[FEATURE] Replace unmaintained Sho_Inflect with doctrine/inflector for pluralization and singularization.
[BUGFIX] composer.json is now updated on each save and includes author email and company fields.
[DOCS] Extend Roundtrip mode chapter with YAML config, split token, and operational guides.
[DOCS] Replace Settings.cfg with guides.xml in generated documentation.
[TASK] Improve GitHub workflows, issue templates and CI config.
[TASK] Add commit message validation hook and tighten CI checks.
[TASK] Add scheduled cleanup of old workflow runs.
[TASK] Add regression test for newline after case label.

Version 13.2.0

[FEATURE] TCA select properties can now have custom items configured directly in the domain modeling editor — each item has a label and a value.
[TASK] locallang_csh_*.xlf files are no longer generated. CSH (Context Sensitive Help) was removed in TYPO3 v12; field descriptions are now written exclusively to locallang_db.xlf and referenced via the TCA description key. When a domain object is removed via RoundTrip, any leftover locallang_csh_*.xml and locallang_csh_*.xlf files are cleaned up automatically. Existing generated extensions may have orphaned CSH files that can be deleted manually.
[BUGFIX] Renaming a domain object no longer corrupts the controller constructor and action parameter names.
[BUGFIX] Property settings panel now correctly shows and hides fields based on the selected property type.
[BUGFIX] Boolean properties no longer always appear as checked after loading an existing extension.
[BUGFIX] Saving an extension no longer fails after a relation has been deleted.
[BUGFIX] Opening old ExtensionBuilder.json files that are missing the renderType key no longer causes an error — the field is silently ignored.
[BUGFIX] Indentation of nested method calls is preserved correctly during RoundTrip.
[BUGFIX] Field descriptions are now preserved with their original casing in generated XLF files.
[BUGFIX] SelectProperty type is now stored as a string instead of an integer, fixing issues when loading extensions that use select fields.
[BUGFIX] Fixed undefined array key excludeField warning in ObjectSchemaBuilder.

Version 13.1.0

[BUGFIX] ext_tables.sql now includes a CREATE TABLE statement for models that have no own properties but are the target of a ZeroToMany inline relation — previously the FK column was silently dropped, leaving the database table uncreated.
[BUGFIX] A validation warning is now shown when a domain object has no properties, informing the user that no CREATE TABLE statement will be generated in ext_tables.sql.
[BUGFIX] Generated controller actions now declare ResponseInterface as their return type, matching the TYPO3 v13 standard.
[BUGFIX] f:image ViewHelper calls in generated templates now use the image attribute instead of src, fixing rendering of filenames with Umlauts or special characters.
[FEATURE] XLF files are no longer rewritten when only the date= attribute changed — avoids VCS noise on every regeneration. The staticDateInXliffFiles setting is removed as it is no longer needed.
[FEATURE] Generated backend module extensions now include a user.tsconfig file that makes the backend module accessible without manual TSconfig setup.
[FEATURE] extbase is now automatically added as a dependency to generated extensions that use Extbase controllers or domain objects.

Version 13.0.0

Breaking changes and migrations (v12 → v13):

[TASK] Update dependencies to TYPO3 ^13.4, PHP ^8.3.
[TASK] Frontend plugins are now registered as CType content elements using PLUGIN_TYPE_CONTENT_ELEMENT — the deprecated list_type approach is no longer used. page.tsconfig wizard entries are no longer generated because registerPlugin() with CType automatically adds the plugin to the content element wizard. Existing generated extensions using list_type must be regenerated to adopt the new registration.
[TASK] TypoScript is no longer loaded via ext_typoscript_setup.typoscript (which was dropped in TYPO3 v13) — the extension now registers its TypoScript paths via addTypoScriptSetup() in ext_localconf.php.
[FEATURE] Extensions with frontend plugins can now optionally generate a Site Set (Configuration/Sets/). When the Generate Site Set option is enabled in the editor, the generator creates config.yaml, setup.typoscript, and constants.typoscript instead of the classic addStaticFile approach. The classic behavior is unchanged when the option is not enabled.
[BUGFIX] Constructor property promotion flags (readonly, visibility modifiers) are now preserved correctly during RoundTrip code generation.
[TASK] Generated TypoScript setup templates no longer include a storagePid setting — the line is commented out so integrators can enable it deliberately.
