Movable Type 6.0.2 Release Notes
Posted in News.
New & Improved Functions Server Sync (Movable Type Advanced) The server sync function is now available for Movable Type Advanced users. By using server sync, content created on Movable Type Advanced can be sent to and published on an external server. As Movable Type Advanced does not need to be installed on the external content publishing server, this greatly decreases security risks, such as unauthorized access. If the server containing Movable Type Advanced is set up to act as a staging environment, that server can then be used to store backup content. Blogs and websites can be sent to and published from multiple servers and both FTP and rsync are supported as viable distribution methods. Internet Explorer 11 Support Movable Type should now run smoothly on Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 11. (The Modern UI is no longer recommended.) [IE=Edge] is the new setting for compatibility mode across all admin screens. Microsoft IIS Server Fast CGI Support FastCGI is now supported for use on the Microsoft IIS server. FastCGI can help enhance operation performance on the Movable Type admin screen, although please note there are some known issues and restrictions. Additional Modifiers When using dynamic publishing, the [byauthor] and [bycategory] modifiers can…

The Movable Type 6 Data API: What It Means for Developers and Publishers
Posted in Community.
Until Movable Type 6, Movable Type has never had an easy way for programmers to access the content in its database for dynamic page generation. The Movable Type Data API addresses that issue in a fundamentally more modern way than WordPress does. The Movable Type Data API is developed by the Movable Type development team itself (it’s not a plugin created by a third-party developer); It opens up MT to JavaScript programming using ultramodern tools like jQuery and jQuery Mobile.

Considering an MT 4 Upgrade? Review the Movable Type 4.33 Changelog
Posted in News.
About two weeks ago, Six Apart release Movable Type 4.33, a release that was coordinated with the worldwide release of Movable Type 5.01 and Movable Type 4.27-ja for Movable Type 4 users in Japan. I urge any customers planning to stay on Movable Type 4 for the near future to take another look at the Movable Type 4.33 Release Notes and to pay close attention to the following improvements: Security Fixes There are two significant security fixes that were included in Movable Type 4.33. The first is the closing of a series of vulnerabilities in the Content Management System (the Movable Type administrative user interface) where user privileges weren’t properly checked. Until Movable Type 4.33, unprivileged users could access several functions of the CMS by typing their URLs directly. We also enhanced the Asset Manager, XML-RPC Server, and Atom Server to make them check the content of image files that are being uploaded. If image files contain JavaScript or HTML unexpectedly, they can be used to attempt to exploit flaws in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 that could lead to security issues on the visitor’s PC or on servers to which that visitor has access. New Configuration Directive Related…
