Textpattern CMS 4.0.3 released
I am proud to announce the immediate availability of Textpattern 4.0.3. You can get it always on the download page.
Updates should be seamless and are recommended as soon as possible. People that are updating from previous versions probably want to add a few CSS rules as explained in the FAQ entry on comment error messages.
Most of the changes relate to handling comments (see full changelog below) and we now have a very easy way available for plugin developers to write anti-spam plugins ( Interested developers are encouraged to join the mailing-lists to discuss how to do this ). As a first plugin for production use, here is a Captcha-Plugin. More plugins will become available in the following weeks.

Too late for Christmas (ehehehe), but just in time for a end/new-year’s present.

Re: Textpattern CMS 4.0.3 released
Well done and thank you everyone in the developer team.
Although you have a habit of releasing new versions always at times when I’m away from my production computer for several days ;-)

I normally grumble under my breath when an upgrade gets added to my To Do list, but you guys have made this one well worth the effort.
Now, let me find a hole in my holiday weekend…

Re: Textpattern CMS 4.0.3 released
The zip is version is really going to throw some people off. It looks as if an extra textpattern 4.03 folder got packaged within the other. You might want to change that out.
;)
EDIT: just checked the gzip and it’s fine. It’s just the zip version.

If you see unstyled pages for individual articles or section pages, and you are using txp:css with the n="nameofstylesheet" then take a look at this topic:

Note: The problem is strictly limited by production_status and only appears in testing/debugging, not on live sites.

7 upgrades in 30 minutes and other than preserving txplib_head.php and textpattern.css for each site it was easy as Pi.
