Don't search and replace

by Jay Allen

This is an archived entry from the Movable Type 3.2 beta test.
Entries from the current beta release (v3.3) can be found here.

Unless you are using last night's build (20050727) or better, please do not use the replace functionality on the search and replace screen. There is a big data eating bug waiting for your after a replace.

Thanks to Fabian Gonzalez for finding (much to his chagrin) and reporting the bug. It has been duly squashed as of last night's beta and will not be present in the upcoming beta-3.

Great this is already in the way :)
