After an extended beta period, last week the Typo3 Association announced the official launch Version 4. As you would expect in a major release, there is a long list of new features and changes, such as workspace support, a new rich text editor, and improvements to search. Somewat underplayed in the release notes is a new default skin, including AJAX support for the editorial system -- curiously called the "Backend" in Typo3 lingo. As with other open source CMS platforms, Typo3 has traditionally had a steep learning curve, something that the community has tried to address in this release. Experience shows that it takes more than a new shiny look to make CMS tools easier to use, although this is clearly a step in the right direction.
