Hi list,

I’ve released tonight Typo 5.2.98, which is the first release  
candidate for Typo 5.3. Only 1 month and half after releasing Typo 5.2  
as a major release, here is another one with a consequent bunch of  
evolutions.

Let’s have a quick glance at them together

- The main goal for Typo 5.3 was the dynamic permalink scheme, which  
forced us to completely rewrite our URL generation system and our  
cache system.

- Feedburner support directly into your admin.

- Semi static caching was buggy, and heavy, so we removed it. Typo now  
only does static caching.

- Text filters configuration are now on a per user and on a per  
article basis. When migrating, all users will be given the blog  
default’s text filter.

- More performance improvement, Typo is really fast now

- Even more SEO capabilities. Tags and categories can be removed from  
search engines, using noindex, removed from sitemap.xml, and Typo now  
has a robots.txt editor.

- Old drop down menus were replaced with some fancy calendar like date  
pickers.

- Notifications for sidebar save and autosave are now done using  
growler, a nice growl like javascript thing.

- Inline editor switching à la Wordpress. Isn’t that one cool?

- Admin can now deactivate users.

Cheers,  
Your Typo team
