10.0.0 - 20th September 2022

The big cleanup

The extension "news" is one of the most used extensions and known for its feature richness. However, to be able to satisfy the need for stable releases and early adoptions to upcoming LTS releases it was necessary to improve and slim the code base. More than 60 issues of the issue tracker have been handled during the development of this release.

Extracting features to separate extensions makes it possible to have a smaller main code base with faster releases on the one hand and dedicated releases of extensions providing features on the other hand.

More extensions are planned already!

Extract backend module

The backend module of EXT:news is awesome to manage lots of articles. It has been extracted into an own extension called news_administration.

See manual for details

Extract tag auto creation via suggest

The possibility of creating tag records on the fly within a news record is an awesome feature. It has been extracted into an own extension called news_tagsuggest.

See manual for details

Rename classes

The following classes have been renamed:

  • Hooks/DataHandler => Hooks/DataHandlerHook

  • Hooks/BackendUtility => Hooks/FlexformHook

This avoids wrong suggestions of your IDE when checking for DataHandler or BackendUtility

Features

Configurable slug prefix in backend

The slug information is prefixed by default with the current domain. By using the TsConfig tx_news.slugPrefix it can be overridden by the path to a page to show the correct slug.

See manual for details

Improved events

Couple of events have been improved and added to make it easier to extend EXT:news
