TYPO3 is free open-source content management software.

Product history

TYPO3 was first created by Danish developer Kasper Skårhøj in late 1997 as an attempt to fill an online content management niche. By 2000, Skårhøj took the project solo by leaving his development company superfish.com and open-sourcing a beta release.[2] After two years of beta development, the first stable release of TYPO3 arrived on May 24, 2002 as version 3.3.0.[1] By early 2005, a new "TYPO3 Association" was created to manage "the continual adaptation of TYPO3 to international software standards" and oversee financial and legal matters for the project.[3]

By 2012, a proposal was made to completely rewrite the code for version 5.0 of the software. While working on this new release and analyzing the 10-year history and complexity of TYPO3 version 4.x, the TYPO3 community decided to publish version 5.0 as a completely new product with a new name.[4][5] In September 2012, the TYPO3 developers decided on the final name for the new product, "TYPO3 Neos."[6] TYPO3 Neos is in alpha development, while the 4.x versioning jumped to 6.x with the November 2012 release.
