A Movable Type 3.0 Question
Six Apart, the company behind the industry-leading CMS Movable Type (used at this site), recently announced the pending release of an alpha test for Movable Type 3.0. This will be the first major-version upgrade for the software in quite awhile, and should incorporate some of the features seen in the company’s TypePad hosted blogging service along with several new enhancements.
I’m excited about the new release, but I’m concerned about backward compatibility. One of the announced enhancements is a new plugin API that allows more extensibility for the software. This is great, but will plugins developed for version 2.6x still work?
This blog and my photoblog have evolved to become dependent on several special-purpose plugins, and I’d like to know how much of that infrastructure is going to break before I dive in with a new version. Anyone out there with some insights into this?
