Pivot 1.40.3.
12:10Even though it's only two weeks ago that I said that 1.40.2 would likely be the last release in the 1.40 branch, we still decided that we would need another maintenance release. So, we've just released Pivot 1.40.3. This update contains some minor bugfixes that were discovered after the release of 1.40.2. For full details see the Changelog. For instructions on how to install or upgrade, please see the details after the jump.
In the meantime we're still hard at work on version 2.0. The day that we can publicly show you the first glimpses of our brand new product is getting closer and closer, so check back here often.
This version comes in three flavors:
- Pivot 1.40.3 Full - The full version
- Pivot 1.40.3 updater for 1.40 RC and higher
- Pivot 1.40.3 updater for other versions
So, if you want to set up a new install, use the Full version and read here on how to get started.
If you're running a version between 1.40RC and 1.40.2, you can get the small
updater. If you're running an older version (including 1.40 alphas and
1.40 betas), you will need to get the larger updater file.
- Extract the files on your computer.
- Make a backup of your website. (really)
- Upload all the files overwriting the ones already present.
- Download the upgradechecks tool, unzip it and upload to your pivot folder.
- Open pivot/upgradechecks.php in your browser and see if you have to make any changes.
- Log in to your Pivot, and do the following:
- Rebuild the index.
- Go to Administration » Weblogs, and click through your weblog so, the weblog configuration is updated.
- Make sure [[thickbox:head]] is in the <head>-section of your templates, if you want to use the thickbox popups.
- Rebuild all pages.
- Enjoy your brand-new Pivot!
Alternatively you can use our Pivot Setup script, which takes care of the installation/upgrading. Read about it here: Pivot Setup.
Tip: We've heard about people (mainly on OSX) who've had their FTP programs wipe the folders clean before uploading. Make sure that doesn't happen to you by reading this forum thread.

well done, thanks guys!
I had a couple of those bugs fixed manually following the topics of the forum, but I feel much better now with the whole package..! I’ll upgrade right now!
..about the mighty 2.0 upcoming: will 1.40x still be supported by the team and the forums?
(bugs, functionality and security issues at least..)
Really great job guys, anyway!

Obviously we’re going to focus on development for the 2.0 branch. However, if serious bugs or security issues are discovered in 1.40.x, we’ll fix those.
just testing the pivot software – http://test.com – if it can convert URLs into clickable links
Very impressed with the new set up, looking forward to Pivot 2.0!
