48 | 2 | Steffen Ritter | * *A new set of interfaces called "collection interfaces" has been introduced* |
49 | 7 | Steffen Ritter | These interfaces define an generic and common API how to deal with sets of data in TYPO3. |
50 | 2 | Steffen Ritter | A new Clipboard will be based upon this, as well as the possiblity to "group" tca records or files within a collection. |
51 | 1 | Steffen Ritter | Furthermore the FAL layer will use them as an interface for the represantion of an "folder". |
52 | 4 | Steffen Ritter | |
53 | * *Frontend-Accessibility features have been integrated* |
||
54 | 5 | Steffen Ritter | The rendering of CSS Styles Content has been overworked to generate valid output for every selectable doktype. |
55 | Especially for HTML5 rendering CSS Styled Content has been overworked completely, to use the new possiblities, beeing as semantic as possible and reduce the amount of superflouus markup. |
||
56 | Furthermore no inline CSS is generated anymore. |
