[MTOS-dev] How should we test MTOS compatibility?

[Chad Everett]

As to this particular problem (the upgrade one), it's likely been 
fixed.  Brad checked in a fix for bug 64072 (the one I reported) last 
night and I just ran an upgrade with the latest nightly (r1116) this 
morning, from my 3.35 install.  I haven't tried from 4.0 or 4.01, but 
Chris said he did last night.  I suspect it should take care of the 
upgrade problem that others were seeing.

This probably won't be in the commercial beta available by download, but 
if that's what you're testing, you can get the fix here:

http://code.sixapart.com/trac/movabletype/browser/branches/boomer/lib/MT/Upgrade.pm?rev=1116

You could also take the latest nightly (r1116) and install the 
commercial pack from the commercial beta if you'd rather take that 
route.  But that's probably not a "recommended" solution.  So forget I 
mentioned it.  But it does appear to work.  :)
