We're happy to announce that this afternoon we released Movable Type 3.1.
We're extremely excited about this new release, and also about how quickly this free update is coming on the heels of Movable Type 3.0 Developer Edition. Whereas it took more than a year between 2.6 and 3.0, we're now releasing 3.1 only three months after 3.0 Developer Edition. The release of 3.0, combined with the changes in licensing, has allowed us to recommit resources to Movable Type development, and that's a big reason why you're seeing major features in a free update released so soon after 3.0.
I have to admit, it is definately a nice feeling to see my name in the announcement as well (emphasis mine).
The new category management interface in 3.1 gives you fine-grained control over the organization and display of your posts. You can easily create new subcategories, and move a subcategory from one parent category to another using a sleak, intuitive interface. Not only that, the subcategory support is extremely powerful, because it builds upon David Raynes' SubCategories plugin and thus inherits all of the tags included in that plugin. David has done a great job helping us integrate the plugin into the core Movable Type engine.
Hopefully this will not be a one-time thing. :)
I am very much looking forward to tinkering with Brad's dynamic templating feature. If for no other reason than to start porting all of my plugins.
The first thing on my to-do list, though, is integration of my ExtendedComments plugin and MT-Blacklist. Now I just need to find the time to do it.

And yet you are still running MT3.0D...

Hi David.
I just installed the new version and realised that there is really nothing different than your plugin, even not the parts of the documentary which rely on examples YOU had in yours.
What is really disgusting is, that I just didn't change anything of my templates, the code is right as it was before and I recreated the category structure. It is just not working ... it worked perfect with your plugin, and it isn't anymore now.
doesn't seem to have any effect and a lot of other Tags as well.
I'm wondering where the new 3.1 features might be, or if it is really that complicated that it was more comfortable to work with your additional plugin then now with the featured version of MT.
Anyway, you did a great job.

Hi David!
Sorr, it was my fault, I just had your plug-in files still in the MT 3.1 installation, therefore it was not working.
No need to post any of my comments :)
