Movable Type Knowledge Base: Only One Distribution Package

Question

I downloaded both the Full Package and the Upgrade Package from my account, and they both look the same. Shouldn't they be different?

Answer

Due to improvements in the installation and upgrade process, including renaming the configuration file which ships with the download from mt.cfg to mt-config.cgi-original, we're now able to offer a single distribution package that works regardless of whether you're upgrading from an older version or installing Movable Type for the first time.

This not only simplifies our ability to prepare the distribution for each new version, but also prevents anyone from downloading the "wrong" package and inadverently overwriting their original configuration file with all its custom settings.
