Since the release of MT4 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.movabletype.com\/blog\/2007\/08\/presenting-movable-type-40.html\">over a year ago<\/a>, I&#8217;ve been itching to upgrade.  Unfortunately, until a couple of months ago, a couple of important plugins that I uses weren&#8217;t upgraded for use with MT4, so I couldn&#8217;t upgrade.  Once that was solved,  decided to wait until the release of the next version, and that&#8217;s MT 4.2.<br \/>\nA lot of good stuff in this release, which focused on performance improvements.  It&#8217;s supposedly significantly faster than other flavors of MT4, but since I&#8217;ve never run them, I can&#8217;t tell.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll be upgrading soon, so things may get a little wonky at times around here.
