TYPO3 is a powerful enterprise content management system that has a large following and community – not least because of its more than 25 years of history. Many of the known CMS did not even exist when TYPO3 was already able to manage several websites in one installation, supported several languages in the front and backend and relied on an architecture that could be extended at will by extensions.
In addition, one of the core features of TYPO3 is that enables the highest possible level of individualization, while at the same time making essential industry standards such as PSR easier to connect to other systems.
Although TYPO3 has been on the market for over 25 years, the community is always using a lot to keep track of the times. This is shown, for example, that every 18 months a new major version appears, which implements current technologies and makes it possible to always create state-of-the-art websites.
All this makes TYPO3 the perfect CMS for all possible projects. But Spider-Man already knew: With great power comes great responsibility.
In this blog article, I would like to show exactly what this means for TYPO3 updates.
Preparation: Checking Compatibilities, Use TYPO3 LTS versions
As with any CMS, an update should be well prepared. These include, among other things, some steps that Lukas in hisBlog articles about WordPress Updateshas already described in more detail. Therefore, I only pick up these here for a short time. What both systems have in common is that youSystem requirements(like e.g. B. thePHP and MySQL versions) should check beforehand. It is also important to see if there is a current version for all the extensions used, which is available with the desired TYPO3 versionCompatibleis. The latter you can do, for example, onhttps://extensions.typo3.orglook.
Especially with TYPO3 it should be noted that a very old version should not be updated directly to a new version. Instead, there is aLTS version (Long Term Support), which is from the communityover 3 yearswith updates. In addition, there is also theExtended Long Term Support.
