Movable Type 3.17 released

Today we are releasing Movable Type 3.17. This release addresses four issues that do not affect the majority of installations, but are critical for users with certain configurations.

Version 3.17 is not a required upgrade if your Movable Type installation is not affected by these issues.

Changes in this release include:

  • Installation at the root of a domain no longer continually logs out the user.
  • Fixed URL-encoding of uploaded file paths (e.g. images%2fbeach-pic.jpeg)
  • Fixed a bug in the nofollow plugin which causes HTML sanitization of everything within an <MTPings> block.
  • Fixed a bug in mt-db2sql.cgi which caused it to fail in certain situations when subcategories are in use before conversion.

Again, this update is not required unless you have been affected by any of the issues mentioned above.

For a more detailed information about this release, see:

If you already purchased Movable Type, or downloaded the free version, you'll be able to download the new release for free from your Movable Type account. Otherwise, you can find it on the Pricing and Licensing page.

As always, there is a free, unsupported personal version of Movable Type 3.17 which will satisfy the needs of a large number of personal users.
