Alpha 4 is right around the corner (this weekend), and it will contain lots of bugfixes and new functionality. This will also be the last alpha release, before we move to 'beta' status.
Some of the highlights of the upcoming release:
- XMLRPC (metaweblog) API support
- Tags / Tagging
- Caching
- More support for non-crufty URLs
- More flexible browsing through pages, archives, categories, etc.
- And, a ton of bug / stability fixes.
If you're having trouble with a bug in alpha 3, please try upgrading to this intermediate version:
http://pivotx.net/files/pivotx2_alpha38.zip
Just unzip, and overwrite everything. (note: this _will_ reset your templates to the default settings, so if you've modified templates, please copy those to another folder like pivot/myowntemplates. That way the upgrading won't overwrite them)
If you have shell access upgrading is even easier:
curl -O http://pivotx.net/files/pivotx2_alpha38.tgz
tar -xvzf pivotx2_alpha38.tgz
chmod -R 777 images/ pivot/db/ pivot/templates
