MovableType 3.1 released August 31st

SixApart released version 3.1 of MovableType today.

The major new features include post scheduling (keep your blog alive if you’re away), dynamically rendered pages (configurable on a per-template basis), a new level of categorization via subcategories as well as a plugin pack including the winners of the MovableType 3.0 Developers Contest (such as Markdown and MT-Blacklist, both in use here). Mena provides a more in depth rundown of those new features in the SixApart blog.

My blogs have been upgraded to this new release already. The upgrade went really smooth, although I didn’t bother to try out any of the new features yet.

as a bugfix release to MT 3.1. Apparently some people had issues upgrading their MT 3.0x installation to MT 3.1.]
