**DO NOT** use the Contao Repository, it holds very old versions of news4ward and its componentes! Use the [Contao Compoers](https://contao.org/de/extension-list/view/composer.html) to install news4ward with all dependencies.

Make a Backup of your Installation! If you use news4ward without GlobalContentelements contao deletes all your contentelements!
