MovableType 3.14 released

December 21, 2004 at 08:32 AM

Six Apart has reacted quickly and gotten an update out to fix the server loads caused by comment spam. MT 3.14 (what happened to 3.13?) fixes a major issue for sites out there getting hit by large and frequent comment spam attacks. Previously, if a spammer hit the site and attempted to post tons of comments, each attempt would cause a rebuild even if the comment did not get through MT-Blacklist. Looks like another new version of that is coming soon too.

The main changes in version 3.14:

  • No more unnecessary rebuilds upon comment moderation.
  • Generation of internal bookkeeping data for dynamic pages is not performed when using static pages.
  • New weblogs default to having comment moderation enabled.

Good job guys, I'm sure we all appreciate the swift response.
