Extension status

In TYPO3 extensions can have different statuses:

• Obsolote (displayed with black background: This kind of extensions are out of date and should not be used
• Test (gray backround): This denotes an extension which is used only for testing and as such it should not be listed in TER?
• Experimental (blue background) : This usually means that the extension has just been started and its an early experiment
• Alpha (red background) : These extensions are in early stages of development and some functions might work but others not
• Beta (light green background) : These are mostly finished extensions which might contains few bugs but overall they are usable
• Stable (dark green background) : These are mature, tested and finished extensions and can be used in production without any trouble

The statuses are assigned by extension authors and currently they are not verified by anyone so they are not really important
