« Previous | News Blog | Next » By Ben Trott

Movable Type version 2.1 is now available to download.

Primarly a maintenance release, 2.1 also includes these features:

  • The export mechanism now exports your Post Status, Allow Comments, and Convert Breaks values for each entry, and the import mechanism will import them. This means that when you use export-import to transfer data, this metadata will not get lost in the transfer.
  • Added the ability to rebuild one index template at a time. (More information)
  • Big rebuilding speedup if you use the <$MTEntryCategory$> tag.
  • Added Google API hook for search and similar search in <MTGoogleSearch>. (More information)
  • Now supports three metaWeblog methods: newPost, editPost, and getPost. (More information)
