The switch of this site to the new 3.2 version of Movable Type took a little longer than expected but it was well worth the wait !
After using it for a couple of days, I keep finding little changes here and there, interface improvements, better icons... overall, the new Administration is clean and streamlined. More importantly, it makes sense.
I won't go into the main features of this new version. Other sites such as Planet Movable Type are doing that in a much better way than I would.
One word of warning though if you are using IIS6 and Perl 5.6 on Windows like I am. Some Perl scripts included in the new version simply refused to run.
That can be a problem if the script you are trying to run is 'mt-upgrade.cgi' or even 'mt.cgi'.
It turns out the path to the new perl libraries was not defined properly. Thanks to a quick email to Six Apart's support line (answered by Brad Choates no less :) ), a solution magically appeared in my inbox.
Simply add these 3 lines to the '.cgi' files using the new 'Boostrap' method :
use File::Basename;
use File::Spec;
use lib File::Spec->catdir(dirname($0), "lib");
(These lines should be added right after 'use strict;').
Now I just have to find enough time to study the new system of styles and the StyleCatcher plugin.
