I'm using currently TYPO3 4.4.4 and tt_news 3.0.1. The last tt_news version is almost one year old now (its from 2009-12-02) and there are plenty of open, unassigned bugs. It seems to me that nobody is working on tt_news at the moment. But a lot of people are using it.

One of my customer asked me, why it is not possible to see the articles as preview in the backend. tt_news just tells you in SINGLE view: "no news_id given". Ok, I'm using realurl. But even when switching it off, tt_news still claims "Keine news_id übergeben." (German translation).

I found a bug report (15600) and a dirty hack for this issue. I changed this hack for my needs and it's working now for me. Of course it will get lost with the next update of tt_news but nobody knows when it will be updated :-(
