1. Download TYPO3 CMS v10. Try it out!

We’ve JUST passed the feature freeze mark. Now it’s time for the TYPO3 community to start using TYPO3 v10, testing it, and giving feedback.

I started using TYPO3 v10 a few months ago on our own site (still in the works!) And it’s nice to see the improvements going in. Now that all the major features are settled you might be able to start planning new projects with TYPO3 v10.

4. Upgrade your TYPO3 Extensions and publish on TER.

With TYPO3 v10 core features in place, extension maintainers are starting to update their extensions so they are ready by the release date on 21 April 2020. This is a major way to boost adoption. The more extensions that are ready by the time of release - the more confident people will be about adopting TYPO3 v10.

Get in it to win it! If you update your extension on TYPO3’s TER - you’ll automatically be entered to win the prize draw. But please make sure people know about your hard work. Tweet that you’re getting ready for #TYPO3CMSX.

Check out the current list of TYPO3 v10-dev compatible extensions in the TER.
