The first release candidate for Movable Type 4.1 has released last night. This release signals that the product is converging upon a final and shippable version of the product. Important changes in this release include:
- A clean upgrade path for user's of the Custom Fields plugin wishing to move to Movable Type 4.1
- A fix that addresses a vulnerability posted about previously
- Userpics are now embedded by default in Movable Type's default templates
- A change to Movable Type search results template has sped up search results considerably

As per the announcement, second release candidate will be available early next week. The scope of this release includes one final and additional feature for paid users of Movable Type in addition to final translations and localization changes for Movable Type 4.1.
If you are an MT 3.x user and are even thinking about buying the Commercial version of Movable Type to take advantage of the extra features that it includes then it's better to evaluate RC1 now and purchasing the MT4 upgrade package before the introductory discount prices expire. Because did you know that everyone who purchased Movable Type 4.0 is entitled to a free upgrade to 4.1 when it is released? Yes they are.
