This Month in TYPO3: February, 2026
February kept the momentum going. Two maintenance releases kept production stable, the Board dropped an activity report, and nominations opened for Board and Business Control Committee seats. Content Blocks cleared the v14 milestone, and Europe's digital sovereignty shift moved TYPO3 into sharper strategic focus. March has a packed calendar waiting.
Security and Maintenance Releases
- TYPO3 13.4.25 shipped on 10 February with targeted stability improvements across the active LTS branch.
- TYPO3 14.1.1, 13.4.26, and 12.4.43 landed together on 20 February, covering all three active branches in one clean sweep.
- No new security advisories were published in February. January's security releases are covered in the previous issue.
Celebrating All TYPO3 Contributors
76 contributors, 239 reviews — February's contribution numbers tell the real story: bug fixes, features, and relentless review activity across the core. A round of respect to every developer who showed up.
Insights from the TYPO3 Association and TYPO3 Company
- The Board published its Q3/Q4 2025 report — new role responsibilities, EU regulatory groundwork, cross-community networking, and a clear forward look at 2026 priorities. Candid and worth reading.
- Nominations are open for Board and Business Control Committee — developers and non-code contributors both welcome. If you have a vision for TYPO3's future, this is the window.
- QR codes are now native in v14.1 — Editors generate, customize, and download them directly from the page tree. No extension, no detour.
- Digital sovereignty is reshaping European tech procurement — Open source is moving from preference to policy, and TYPO3's position in that shift looks increasingly strategic.
- Seven open-source CMS myths — dismantled with evidence. A sharp resource for the next time a client asks “but is it really secure?”

- A community-funded PHP Firewall for TYPO3 is taking shape — Sascha Egerer's initiative helps site owners block common attacks even without server-level control. Real security, practically delivered.
- TYPO3 Camp Baden-Württemberg returns in May — Two days in Heidelberg for community knowledge exchange and hands-on collaboration.
- The community lost Jens Liesegang in February — A colleague held in deep respect. We remember him here.

Appreciating Contributors of the Month
Respect to everyone who kept releases shipping through February — the maintainers behind the 13.4.25 and the triple-branch update, the 76 contributors counted in February's numbers, and the teams quietly advancing Content Blocks, the PHP firewall, and Board-level governance work. The project moves because you do.
