I used MT-Twitter before. It is good. When I make a new post and click publish, a new twitter post will be made automatically to announce there is a new post with the link and title.
After upgrade to MovableType 5, I have not do it again. Now I try it and see how it works. I will update this post when I get the answer.
The test result is that it is not working on MT 5.
MovableType 5 will release on Dec. 16, 2009. The Japanese edition released last month here.
I would like to upgrade it when it really come.
There are some useful links of MovableType 5.
MT5 Document
Everyone knows my blog is powered by MovableType. Actually I start to blog from MovableType 3.11.
There is a mt.js file in root of the blog. It is 20K after generating by MovableType 4.26.
Then to make it smaller. I use Yuicompressor which is provided by Yahoo Developer Network.
Then it is only 13K. And also I use gzip compress facility on Apache server. It is 4.1k when transferring to Web Browser.
Actually before minifiy its gzip size is 5.8K.
So it is clear to make a list.
Original mt.js
20.2K, gzip version 5.8K
Minified mt.js
13.1K, gzip version 4.1K
I have not upgrade to 4.25 when MovableType 4.25 released. Because I failed to upgrade my Unofficial MT site at that time.
But I did a wonderful upgrade from MT 4.25 to 4.26. And this blog is based on MovableType 4.24 before upgrade. Now the upgrade it so smoothly. I have the screen shot of upgrade.
I am just notified that MovableType 4.25 released on March 17, 2009.
There is no release notes of this version.
The Unofficial Movabletype Blog has a brand new installation of it, with Motion.
It is a rush release. I don’t think they are ready to release it.
More support will be need if you upgrade to MT 4.25.
It is time to upgrade Movable Type 4.23 to 4.24.
The steps to upgrade is followed my own upgrading procedures here.

* Mandatory? Yes, this is a mandatory security upgrade.
* Performance Implications: None.

So for security purpose. Just upgrade it and protect your own Blog.
It is a mandatory security upgrade. There is no MT4.22 for some unknown reason. So I upgraded my MovableType 4.21 to 4.23.

I used Movable Type as my blog platform over Four years.
Now MovableType will have a 7 years old birthday party in head office. If I am in San Francisco, I would join it.
The party is next Thursday, October 30, 2008.
RSVP required.
There is a folder under the MovableType installation. It is used to store the files uploaded.
The default is assets_c.
Because of I manually setup the .htaccess file to convert all underscore(_) to dash(-). The link or file under assets_c will be redir to assets-c. And got the 404 error.
So I changed Assets Directory.
1) Make a directory assets-c.
2) Move all files from assets_c to assets-c.
3) Add one line to mt-config.cgi
AssetCacheDir /assets-c
4) Login the MT system and update all images, etc.
5) Rebuild it.
It is a Movable Type Security Update.
