lazydesert Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 http://www.movabletype.org Here's a list of some of the major changes in version 2.5: * Localization: the MT interface can be available in multiple languages, on a per-author setting. A Spanish language pack is now available (thanks to Eduardo Arcos Barredo), and more languages will be translated in the upcoming weeks. (Language Packs) * Integrated Jay Allen's mt-search (Thanks, Jay!), modified with a number of new features and optimizations. (more info) * You can now easily ping blo.gs and other update services that accept pings adhering to the Weblogs.com XML-RPC interface. (more info) * Added optional TrackBack auto-discovery, which can automatically find TrackBack ping URLs based on permalinks in entry bodies. These entries can then be pinged without any extra effort. (more info) * More accessible default templates that follow guidelines from Mark Pilgrim's 30 Days to a More Accessible Web site. * Update pings (eg weblogs.com, blo.gs, etc) are now sent only when an entry is either new (and published), or was previously a draft, and is now published. * Added a new stylesheet as the new default style for new blogs. * A new "Keywords/Metadata" field has been added to the edit entry screen (click "Customize the display of this page" to enable it). * Image thumbnails can now be created using the NetPBM tools, if your system has those. Look at the ImageDriver and NetPBMPath settings in mt.cfg if you are interested. (more info) * TrackBack pings are now sent using HTTP POST instead of HTTP GET, and several problems with the embedded RDF (validation errors, improper use of Dublin Core attributes) have been fixed (Thanks to Paul Prescod for the pointers).

SOOPAH256 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 kay... i don't really know perl, php, cgi, etc. stuff very well. (not at all, actually :p) but i do have access to my friend's server. i'm not sure what it's running (http://www.cbanners.net/) is there a way i can check? and if it doesn't have perl installed, can i still use moveable type on it? thanks.

Nope, Moveable Type requires that the server has PERL correctly installed, as MT is written PERL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
