Movable Type development moving to GitHub
By Jun Kaneko and posted in MT5.
New Year’s Greetings from Movable Type team, and we would like to announce a new step of the Movable Type development. We are moving Movable Type core development over to Git. Movable Type has used a public subversion repository for version control, but from January 2011, our new home is on github.com. GitHub is the most popular Git hosting, and it also provides social networking functions such as feeds, followers and the network graph to display how the team works on the repository. We believe that this transition will help our community a lot. The development process will be more transparent, easier to try the bleeding edge version of the code, and of course, you can fork your own projects ! movabletype/movabletype - GitHub GitHub, how to join There are numbers of great online tutorials. Help.GitHub - Welcome After configuring Git environment in your local machine, all you have to do is to clone the project. % git clone http://github.com/movabletype/movabletype.git % cd movabletype % make me How about FogBugz ? We will continue using Fogbugz for the issue tracking system. You can report bugs or request features in the same way. We are looking forward to seeing you on…

Here’s a list of places to find updated and brand-new documentation: MT5 Documentation Index - an index listing all pages which are tagged Updated for MT5, New in MT5, or Bug in MT5 Recently Updated Documentation One highlight…. Creating themes for MT5 - this was requested by lots of people in the community and should get you started. Our goal is to create a few sample themes, and place them in a GitHub repository. The documentation for MT5 is being initially created by the Japanese Movable Type team as they are leading development of MT5. We’re working with a translator to convert to English and then going through each document to clean it up, reformat it, test it, and add more examples. We’ve been notifying the Japanese team whenever we have significantly changed the document so that they can translate it back to Japanese. Next up is the process of converting the documentation site itself to a more topic-based structure, rather than the current organization (by user-type). We’re converting pages that list tags in Movable Type to index templates with loops to output pages: by folder, tag, etc….

Movable Type 4.32 Bug-fix Release + Zemanta plugin
By Beau Smith and posted in News.
Many of you are looking forward to using MT5 exclusively, but truthfully you may be content with MT4 or maybe you’re unable to upgrade because a plugin you rely upon may not yet be ported to MT5. So until MT5 is solid and there is little demand for MT4, Six Apart will continue to release new versions of MT4.x as necessary to provide fixes for various security issues and bugs which are major pain points. Small features may be potentially included as well. Download MTOS-4.32-en [zip] [tar.gz] [other languages] MT4.32 fixes a handful of minor bugs which are detailed in the Movable Type 4.32 release notes. One of the commits in MT4.32 was to bundle the Zemanta plugin. Zemanta has committed to supporting the development of Movable Type; what better partnership than that of a content management system and a service to recommend quality related-content? While it may not be useful for every blogger, it can be very helpful in the case where you need an image, links to related articles, help with tags for an entry, etc to have a more compelling blog entry. Check out the Zemanta FAQ for more info on how Zemanta’s services may be useful…
