Upgraded to MT 3.2
Well, the upgrade to Movable Type version 3.2 went very smoothly indeed. Very clear instructions in the new manual, easy to follow.
Only two things that caused a bit of a hiccup.
First, when uploading the files to the server by FTP, I uploaded some of them (mostly those with .pm and .tmpl extensions) as binary and not ascii. Not a problem as when I realized that error, I just re-uploaded them all again in the correct mode (which was ascii for everything except the image files).
Secondly, when logging in to MT for the first time after the install, I couldn't - all I got was a 500 server error message. A quick check of the error log on the server showed that I had granted too much permission to the mt-upgrade.cgi script. I was pretty impressed with that level of checking, ie, not letting me log in to MT with the file permission set incorrectly. Changing the permission and trying to log in again worked.
So 3.2 is successfully installed.
More comment later once I've taken a good look around. One new and very cool addition I noticed - a new plug-in called StyleCatcher that is, in essence, an interface to install new styles. From a quick look, many seem to be similar to those in TypePad. Indeed, many of the very nice enhancements to the MT interface itself are reminiscent of TypePad.
More later!
