## Important changes {#important-changes}

The following changes might be important for your installation.

### Adopt minimum requirements {#adopt-minimum-requirements}

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

The reason is the class `TYPO3CMSCoreInformationTypo3Information` which is available since this version.

### Custom ChunkViewHelper {#custom-chunkviewhelper}

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

It allows rendering news items in columns.

```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>
```
