Movable Type 4 Beta 3

Movable Type 4 Beta 3b

The Movable Type team has released a third beta for the Movable Type 4 blogging platform. Beta 3 allows the user to customise the dashboard amongst other things.


Beta 1 did not install on the pair server and I found Beta 2 difficult to use, particularly the user interface which was confusing compared to the elegant simplicity of 3.35, so it will be interesting to see how Beta 3 operates.


Parallel to the beta advancements has been the emphasis on increasing the community participation in the software development. Movabletype.org is now offering a comments feed so that beta testers can subscribe to comments about the beta platform.


The Movable Type team is doing its best to reclaim some lost ground. Things are looking positive in many respects but the answers will be in the quality of the application that they finally release. Until then getting as much user feedback as possible and integrating it into the application is the only way and Six Apart are doing a great job.
