This is a developer "snapshot" and incorporates many bug fixes since beta1 and also some nice new features (FAL and a new Extension Manager). **Development progress** The release plan for 4.5, the schedule and the planned projects are detailed in the [project wiki on forge](http://forge.typo3.org/projects/typo3v45-projects/wiki). For details about this particular release and the current progress, please read up on: **Downloads** We also have an introductionpackage for beta2, which allows testing the new features right away on a fresh installation. Experienced users can of course opt to upgrade an existing installation to the new 4.5.0beta2 version, but keeping in mind that this is still a work in progress, and more changes and fixes will be included in further releases.
