Movable Type 4.0 rc4

Last June, Kyle posted about Movable Type to go open-source and indeed the Six Apart Team succeeded in their MT 4 release, and best of all – Free! And time flies fast, with just a couple of months or so, they release Movable Type 4.0 Release Candidate 4 which made public release last August 7, 2007.

Well, with this RC4, there are quite few fixes which are minors and below are the details of the fixes taken from their site:

56344: mt-search always fails after upgrade from MT 3.2 or earlier
FIXED: We found a condition in which by upgrading a blog from before 3.2, a time in which a search results template did not exist in the edit templates area, by installing this new system template search would no longer function because it was reliant upon Header/Footer/Sidebar modules to be present, which are NOT installed automatically. The fix was simple: the search results system template is not installed for you and MT will continue to rely on your Search Template found on the file system for generating your search results.

56189: Can’t write an entry on IIS5/6 with perlis.dll
FIXED: A user reported problems under IIS in which MT would work under perl.exe, but not under the ISAPI module perlis.dll. This ended up being related to an obscure localization issue that has been fixed.

56158: Restore screen lost the banner and menu of the admin screen in IE
FIXED: IE bug fixed in how the restore screen was display.

56079: Blog Templates: Standardize metadata on detail vs list pages
CHANGE: Synchronized some styles between various themes, to make display of entry meta data consistent across templates within a theme.

56300: In dynamic publishing, Sign In link is escaped wrongly
FIXED

56346: Wrong date formats on blog for French and Spanish
L10N: Fixed some formating issues with dates

56345: BDB tool scripts are still included
We have removed the now legacy Berkeley DB scripts from the tools directory as BDB is no longer supported.
