Movable Type 3.0

vrijdag 9 januari 2004

Het duurt nog even (ik verwacht pas in maart), maar Ben en Mena G. Trott hebben Movable Type 3.0 aangekondigd. Ik kan niet wachten want comment spam wordt een steeds grotere bron van ergenis. In de aankondiging werden in ieder geval de volgende features genoemd:

  • Comment registration. As a response to both comment spam and to the increased usage of Movable Type on large community sites, we'll be adding the option to restrict comments to registered users.
  • Improved comment and TrackBack management features.
  • New API hooks for plugin developers. Plugins will now be able to hook into many more pieces of Movable Type, including adding callbacks for saving and removing objects, building application methods with integration into the UI, and hooking into the publishing process. This opens up possibilities for plugins to add even more advanced functionality than they're able to do now.
  • User interface rebuilt using CSS. We've seen with TypePad that a CSS-based interface gives users very fast application response times, and gives us a flexible interface for making application-wide changes, and we want to give this same speed and flexibility to Movable Type users.
  • Support for the Atom API. We've already added Atom syndication feed support in version 2.65 of Movable Type, and we'll be adding publishing support for the API in 3.0.
