Movable Type 4.26 is Now Available: An Optional Performance Release

We want to let you all know that Movable Type 4.26 is now available.  This is an optional performance release which includes bug fixes and feature improvements.

Movable Type 4.26 is recommended for Movable Type Enterprise 4.x customers because it provides dramatically better search performance for large datasets and improves background publishing performance and reliability (i.e. TheSchwartz).  You can review the release notes on movabletype.org for full details on all changes.  We recommend only updating to 4.26 if the documented changes will directly impact you.
