Of course, I’m not yet at MT 4.0, and I still don’t understand the branching between MTn and MT Open Source, but … MT 4.1 is going into beta.
- It’s Faster! We’ve made performance improvements across the board for everythign from publishing to reducing the size of the scripts that load when you want to write a post.
- User Interface Improvements. There are minor tweaks all over the application to make creating and managing your content easier.
- Global Templates. Now you can easily create templates or widgets that are shared across all the blogs in your system.
- Avatars/User Pictures. Authors and commenters can upload an image or icon for themselves that will show up next to their entries and comments.
- Asset Editing. Whether it’s audio, photos, videos or uploaded files, you can view and edit information like the size of a file and its tags, and even see which entries or pages that asset appears in.
- Template Sets. You can create, share and use entire sets of templates between different Movable Type blogs, including all of the stylesheets and feeds for your site. For designers, it’s a great way to deliver a design to your clients.
- Smart Template Tag Documentation. Just use any of Movable Type’s template tags in designing a template, and the system will automatically provide you with a link to the documentation for that tag — handy!
- Better API suport for Pages. Using tools like Windows Live Writer, you can now create and manage Movable Type’s pages just as easily as you work with your entries.
- Tons more. There are lots of little improvements all over the platform — like the ability to replicate published content across multiple servers, or to plug in your own rich text editor like FCKEdit.
Some good sounding stuff here.
