New TYPO3 versions are currently released approximately every 18 months. The current versions 12.4 and 11.5 offer technical support as LTS (Long Term Support) for three years in each case. An extension of the support (Extended Long Term Support, ELTS) for the 4th to 7th year is possible. This means that a TYPO3 version can be used for up to 7 years without relaunching the website.
Which version to use?
The current TYPO3 version 12.4 LTS was released on April 24, 2023. Support and updates are available until the end of April 2026, with the ELTS service until April 2030.
Version 13 is currently under development and will be released on October 15, 2024.
Version 13.4.7 is the current, stable version. Anyone creating a new project should use this.
Version 11.5 is also current; from October 2024, extended support with updates until October 2028 can be booked.
Regular support for version 10.4 expired at the end of April 2023. Updates and support are available via the ELTS service until April 2027.
Version 9.5 was supported until the end of September 2021 (updates and support are still available with ELTS Service until the end of September 2025).
Support has expired for versions 8.7, 7.6, 6.2 and earlier. There are no further updates for these versions. It is recommended to upgrade to version 12.4.
The support of a TYPO3 version for up to seven years protects the investment in your website. As a rule, a simple update of the TYPO3 source code is sufficient. We usually carry this out automatically for projects hosted by us. Customers are informed by e-mail before an update is installed.
Existing projects: Which TYPO3 is used?
After logging into the TYPO3 backend as an editor or administrator, the currently used TYPO3 version can be displayed as follows:
For TYPO3 version 8.7 and higher, the version number is at the top left
For TYPO3 version 7.6 and higher: Click on the symbol with the question mark in the header (to the left of the user name) and call up the menu item "About TYPO3".
For version 6.2 and lower: click on About Modules in the menu on the left.
Request update
In many cases, it is possible to update the TYPO3 version without any problems. Depending on the previous version and the extensions used, however, individual adjustments must be made. Especially when updating to version 13.4.7 und 12.4.27, it should be noted that not all extensions used can continue to be used, which is why this should be checked beforehand.
For customers who do not wish to carry out the update themselves, we offer the implementation as a service.
