What's new with MT?

We're back from vacation and back to developing MT.

Look for version 1.3 in about two weeks. Features included in this next release:

  • XML-RPC server code to support Blogger API
  • Ability to convert line breaks in comments, but not in entries, and vice versa
  • Search and replace
  • Ability to specify the directory in which upload files are placed, rather than just dumping into the archive directory
  • Ability to describe the output path for a particular archive type (eg. Monthly archives) using MT template tags. For example: <$MTArchiveDate format="%Y/%m/%d/index.html"$>
    <$MTArchiveCategory dirify="1"$>/index.html
  • "Remember me" javascript for comments in default templates
  • Some security enhancements (configurable umask settings, for example)
  • A variety of bug fixes

Additionally, we'll be adding a few new sections to this site.

In an attempt to make movabletype.org slightly more content-driven, we'll be posting articles and discussions related to interesting ways our users are using MT.

So, if you think you've got a tip or trick that other users may learn from and you're implementing it on a site, send us the URL and a description.

An example should be posted next week.
