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]
