Today, developers announced the availability of Movable Type 5.2.6 and 5.15. The Movable Type 5.2.6 release offers fixes for bugs found after the release of version 5.2.3 and features four brand new functions. At the same time, Movable Type 5.15 also have been released. This update also includes fixes for bugs found in Movable Type EZ versions 5.2.4 and 5.2.5.
The new features that can be found in Movable Type 5.2.6 include:
- Eiger, a new responsive Web design theme - "Eiger" is intended for use with larger company websites and blogs. Along with Media Query (CSS) supported multi-device compatibility, logos, headers and banners, and navigation are all easily customizible with built-in Movable Type functions.
- The "Smartphone Option" - The optional "Smartphone Option" is now available bundled together with either Movable Type Professional or Movable Type Advanced. (As of now, the "Smartphone Option" can only be obtained through a bundle purchase.). The "Smartphone Option" offers a version of the Movable Type admin screen that has been optimized for smartphones, tablets and other portable devices.
- Canonical Link Elements - Canonical elements can now be used with the MT tags "MTCanonicalURL" and "MTCanonicalLink".
- Language settings expansion - The language in which a blog entry's date is displayed can now be set separately from the general blog language settings. The language option can be set by accessing "Date Language" from the blog entry date "Compose" option. Once set, the date for the blog entry will be displayed in the standard format for the specified language. In connection to this change, the following tags have also been added: MTBlogDateLanguage, MTWebsiteDateLanguage.
Besides the four new features in Movable Type, 5.2.6 also includes improved compatibility. The expanded compatibility includes:
- Compatibility with the Internet Explorer 10 Desktop Application
- Oracle 11g R2 Support
- Termination of TypePad AntiSpam Bundle Sales - In May of 2013, the TypePad AntiSpam service changed ownership from Say Media to Impermium.
Movable Type 5.2.6 also offers six minor improvements in functionality and numerous bug fixes.
