Movable Type Version 2.5

Here are some of the features to expect in MT version 2.5, scheduled to be released later this month:

• Localization: the MT interface can be available in multiple languages, on a per-author setting. German is slated to be the initial language available at the time of this release; other languages will be available at a later date.
• Integration of Jay Allen's MT-Search.
• Ability to ping blo.gs and other services that accept pings adhering to the Weblogs.com XML-RPC interface.
• "Keywords/Metadata" field added to entries.
• More accessible default templates that follow guidelines from Mark Pilgrim's Dive Into Accessibility.
• Update pings (eg weblogs.com, blo.gs, etc) are now sent only when an entry is either new (and published), or was previously a draft, and is now published.
• Image thumbnails can now be created using the NetPBM tools, if your system has those.
• Entry title in subject of notification messages.
