Textpattern 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.
