Important changes
-----------------


The following changes might be important for your installation.

Adopt minimum requirements
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If still using TYPO3 9.5, the minimum TYPO3 version is now **9.5.16**.

The reason is the class `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Information\Typo3Information` which is available since this version.


Custom ChunkViewHelper
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The ViewHelper `Iterator\Chunk` has been copied from EXT:vhs to EXT:news to be independent from other extensions.

It allows rendering news items in columns.

.. code-block:: html

   <f:for each="{news -> n:iterator.chunk(count: 3)}" as="col" iteration="cycle">
      <div class="row">
         <f:for each="{col}" as="newsItem">
            <div class="col-md-4">
               <f:render partial="List/Item" arguments="{newsItem: newsItem, settings:settings}"/>
            </div>
         </f:for>
      </div>
   </f:for>
