Pivot 1.40.4..
12:47We've just released Pivot 1.40.4, another update to Pivot 1.40, to address some minor bugfixes that have been fixed recently. One of the fixed bugs is a security issue (XSS) on the public-side related to comment-previews, which means that we recommend that all users upgrade to this version. For full details see the Changelog. For instructions on how to install or upgrade, please see the details after the jump.
And yes, we're still working on Pivot 2.0. The first publicly available alpha version is taking a bit longer than we hoped. Who could've guessed that making the best weblog tool ever would be so much work?!
This version comes in four flavors:
- Pivot 1.40.4 Full - The full version
- Pivot 1.40.4 updater for 1.40.3 (Only use this to upgrade existing 1.40.3 installs)
- Pivot 1.40.4 updater for 1.40 RC (Use this for upgrading Pivot 1.40RC, 1.40.0 through 1.40.2)
- Pivot 1.40.4 updater for other versions (For upgrading any other Pivot 1.x version)
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 1.0 and 1.40.3, you can get the appropriate updater.
- 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.

Thanks,
I’m looking forward for version 2.0. It will support static pages, isn’t it?
Thanks!
你好，用pivot但是不支持中文。
Comment above translated to: “Hello, but Pivot do not support the use of Chinese sensitivity.”
Uaen, please explain your statement in the support forum. Pivot is currently used by several Chinese webloggers.
Question: After the last upgrade to 1.40, I made some customizations to the site. For instance, the toolbar for the comment box that Hans put together for us. Will upgrading overwrite any of the customizations we make on our sites?
