Six Apart annouced the commercial release of Movable Type 4 after releasing it as a beta two months back. Boing Boing and Read/WriteWeb would be the early adaptors of MT4.
The open source would be launched in the third quater of this year and then it would be a good competitor to Wordpress. Anil Dash at Movable type feels that they can now match feature for feature with wordpress.
MT4 boasts over 50 new features and "a completely redesigned user interface", which includes a more advanced WYSIWYG editor and a system dashboard with dynamic graphic display. MT4 is also pushing itself as "a social media platform", which allows users to turn their audiences into communities. In effect this means that readers can become members of a website, with rights to post alongside authors - including sharing photos, videos, and audio. There is also a new ratings framework.
