MT 2.6.5 released, 3.0 in development

Six Apart has released a new update for the MT 2.6 series today with new security patches and support for Atom syndication, but more importantly Ben Trott has announced at the Six Log that there will be a new version of MT launch in the first quarter of 2004, which will include Comment registration, Increased Atom support, improved Trackback management, New API hooks for plugin developers, the User interface rebuilt using CSS, and even hints of moblogging support and more. The move does come as a surprise as many though that TypePad would see the eventual demise of MT development, but the Trotts have surprised the blogosphere again with this great new announcement.
