Coming soon: Movable Type 3.3 (beta)
We have some great news: Movable Type 3.3 is just about ready and the beta test will be starting next week! While we'll be posting details on some of the goals and best features of the latest version tomorrow, we wanted to let you know that it was coming and gather some feedback while we're in the preparation phase.
For those of you who participated in the v3.2 beta, the process will be very familiar as we've kept many of the things that worked well and you told us you liked best:
- An open and public beta
- 3 to 5 versioned releases plus nightly builds
- A beta blog serving as the hub of the beta testing activity
- Easy submission of bug reports
- Technical support for the beta on the beta blog
We're also making one significant change in the process: We're tightly constraining the beta test to three weeks, to make feedback more directed and have more structure around milestones. Basically, we want to make it easier for you to know where you stand in the beta process, without having to wonder, "Is it ready for me to start really testing yet?" The answer will be "yes".
So, if you've participated in other beta tests, we'd love to hear about things that worked really well for you. We're always looking for ways to improve and your feedback is crucial to making sure that we do.
