The TYPO3 community announced the availability of TYPO3 v10.4, also known as TYPO3 v10 LTS. The community believes this version is the most stable to date, featuring modern PHP libraries and many new enterprise features. Here’s an overview of some of the updates for key stakeholders.
Backend Users
Backend users like content editors now have flexible and expandable dashboards to customize the information displayed. There’s also a more user-friendly forms wizard, automatic updates for URL segments or redirects, a password recovery function, and an enhanced link validator.
Integrators
For integrators, TYPO v10 includes an enhanced UI for managing user accounts, user groups, permissions and more. There’s also the ability to customize system emails using the Fluid templating engine and multilingual capabilities that leverage Crowdin. Finally, there’s performance improvements to front-end logins and image loading.
Developers
Developers will have an easier time getting up to speed with TYPO3 if they’re already familiar with PHP. TYPO3 v10 improves developer onboarding further by including specific components from the open-source Symfony framework within its core.
In addition, TYPO3 10.4.1 LTS and 9.5.16 LTS — both maintenance releases — are now available. These updates fix bugs and security issues and were released in accordance with TYPO3’s maintenance release schedule announced this month.

Liferay Portal 7.3 Released, Documentation Relocated
Following the first release of Liferay Portal 7.3 CE GA announced last month, Liferay has unveiled a second release under the new rolling release cycle mentioned in our coverage last month. New features include the following items.
- Improved dependency management: It’s now easier than ever before to manage dependencies within projects. Instead of declaring a dependency for each API, all dependencies can now be defined with a single declaration. When using an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ all APIs are immediately available in autocomplete for immediate use.
- Workflows for content pages: Admins can now define a workflow process for approval of — and changes to — content pages. Admins can specify a different workflow process at different levels: virtual instance level, site level, and all the other entities (see workflow documentation). Once the workflow is enabled, every new content page will go through the approval process prior to publication.
Liferay Portal 7.3 CE GA2 can be downloaded here.
