I've been meaning to post about it sooner, but I've been working on a side project that has been taking away all my spare time (things should get better after next week).

Six Apart employee Shmuel Fomberg posted the news that there is an announcement out on the Japanese blog, the gist of which is the following:

MT 5.2 will be out in the fall, and it will include:

  •  a new rich text editor 
  •  the ability to restrict the file-path where the websites will be
  •  authentication using email
