.. _what-s-new:
What's new
----------
The following features have been added in TYPO3 6.0:
- the RTE fully supports the new TYPO3 file abstraction layer (FAL);
- when Internet Explorer 9 is used in native mode, the RTE always uses
the standard objects, properties and methods now supported by this
browser;
- default paste behaviours for pasteStructure and pasteFormat have been
modified to keep HTML5 tags article, aside, footer, header, nav and
section; these defaults may be modified by configuring button
pastebehaviour in Page TSconfig;
- Page TSconfig properties that were deprecated since TYPO3 4.6 are now
removed.
