A few hours ago, Movable Type 3.2 was released to the world. I've upgraded my blog from 3.17, totally painlessly! I'm very impressed. I've been testing out some of the betas and they always seemed to go well, I was a little worried about upgrading my main blog but I needn't have worried.

There are still a few more things to do before I'll be happy with the upgrade, like changing the back-end's CSS and also the HTML on the front-end so it matches the new style templates... and a few other things. It's pretty late here, so I'll deal with the rest another time.

Some of the cool new features include:

• It's a free update for any licensed user of MT 3.x with the easiest upgrade ever!
• All licenses now support an unlimited number of blogs, so there's no limit to what you can do with your site.
• There's a System Overview, letting you manage all your blogs in one place.
• Smart new templates and styles that are available on TypePad, Movable Type and LiveJournal! Drop in a new style from the library and watch your site change.
• Brand new user manual and the Knowledge Base is now available to everyone.
• The bundled SpamLookup plugin, trusted commentors, a junk folder, and much simpler individual archive templates help authors fight spam.
