Movable Type releases new version of content management system, can’t manage content

June 5th, 2007

Irony alert: Movable Type today released a beta of the fourth version of their "publishing platform". Unfortunately, the warning they give users that they

should expect to encounter bugs and issues, and you shouldn't use Movable Type 4 in a production environment or context

Was taken to heart: links to pages meant to describe the new version were mysteriously broken when I visted today about 11:15 PDT, and remain so 15 minutes later.

Here are screen shots of the broken pages:

Update: Looks like they put some MT4 info on their movabletype.org domain but the pages above are on their movabletype.com one. If you go to the .com address, the pages show up now. Oops!

Hi, those errors seem to be occuring as the DNS settings for the domains haven’t propagated completely yet. In the meanwhile, you can download the beta from http://sippey.typepad.com/filtered/download-mt-beta.html
