Hello,

On July 22th, 2010, Typo version 5.5 named for famous photographer Richard 
Avedon was released to the public. Typo 5.5 is the result of the work of the 
Typo community, just like you, on adding or suggesting feature, reporting and 
fixing bugs.

With its new admin and setup, Typo 5.4.4 was supposed to be the latest minor 
version running on Ruby on Rails 2.3, and we spent a few months exploring 2 new 
ways.

The first one was being able to upgrade to Ruby on Rails 3.0 as soon as it 
would be released as production ready. Despite porting our own code without 
problems, we promptly discovered that too many plugins needed to be ported to 
Rails 3.0 before we could release.

The second one was making Typo multiblog aware. Despite some interesting 
results, making it production ready was not the work of a single release. Our 
architecture is definitely mono blog oriented, and making it multi blog would 
force us to rewrite most of the code.

So, we decided to make one more release on Ruby on Rails 2.3, upgrading to 
Rails 2.3.8. This release is Typo 5.5. It comes with a few new feature, bug 
fixes, and internal improvements. 

== Highlights:

Typo now runs on Ruby on Rails 2.3.8, which means it won't run with an older 
Rails version.

Being a long time wanted feature, Typo now handles password protected posts. 

Typo visual editor had no way to upload, browse, and use images. Thanks to 
htty, we now have a very nice resource browser CKEditor compliant. 

As I wrote on Typo Weblog (http://res.to/aQz6), we've added a way to display 
users plugins setup into Typo admin. This is a first step on the way to a real 
plugin API.

Typo now comes with a new cache system, way simpler than the database based 
cache we used to do. Files are stored into public/cache and Typo knows how to 
served cached file. You may need to update your configuration, please read 
doc/CACHE.SETUP.README

For more information on Typo 5.5, please read the CHANGELOG file.

As usual, we want to thank the Typo community, and in particular, by reverse 
commit order: Daniel Schweighoefer, htty, Yannick Francois,Szymon 'jeznet' Jeż, 
Diego Elio 'Flameeyes' Pettenò, Kristopher Murata and Michael Reinsch.
