Re: 404 Support
Yeah, when trying to access a url with my current permalink scheme with an invalid article id, I also get a blank page (status 200/OK) with “Unknown Section”.
Still though, I’m glad to see this is being worked on!

Re: 404 Support
I have a hunch that by “add basic 404 support” zem means very basic, which at this stage is the logic backbone sans header responses etc.

Yes, Andrew’s got it right. ;)

Re: 404 Support
I’m using the tried&true section/id/title format and have the same problem – can’t access sections directly.

Re: 404 Support
I see the same thing; sections are inaccessible (see above).
I’d argue that this classifies as a “bleeding-edge” revision that probably shouldn’t be in the /stable/4.0… I’m confused as to the current svn setup. Although I’m guessing you’ve just not yet gotten to working out the new organization of things. I’ll be patient ;-)

Re: 404 Support
If you want something that works, please use downloadable releases.
Subversion is for development and users interested in development, not for end-users.
Bleeding edge means intentionally breaking stuff and leaving it broken because of transitioning larger changes, but regular development also means that sometimes things can break, it’s inevitable when developing.
(releases and subversion on the weblog)

Re: 404 Support
Sorry, but this not in sync with this statement here
So, from now, you can allways find the latest stable version of the Textpattern 4.0.x version at http://svn.textpattern.com/stable/4.0/.
In my understanding, the article about svn reorganization is giving the impression it’s safe to use /stable/4.0
Here the command for those who want to return to a version with working sections:
svn update -r810

Re: 404 Support
Yes, that seems very conflicting. That’s why I wrote the follow-up. The unnamed assumption is that all this is for people that are willing to use subversion in the first place – which should not be end-users. “Production-installs” in that context, means people that are happy running their own live-sites from subversion. It doesn’t mean your company or customer-sites.
If people are only using subversion because they prefer typing one svn command instead of two for downloading and extracting a release, they should consider manually switching to each successive new tag that appears in the /releases branch of the repo.
