Big Medium 2.0b28: "Garden Party"

Posted Oct 6, 2006

The "Garden Party" beta update fixes a bug in the import utility for v1 sites. This bug prevented the import of sites with sections sharing the same slug except for uppercase/lowercase differences.

As noted in the v2.0b27 "Reanimator" release, you'll find instructions and troubleshooting tips for the importer in a new section of the installation guide that comes with the download. Or, just give it a whirl by choosing "Settings>Import Legacy Sites" in the control panel. If you find any bugs or quirks in the importer, give me a shout in the discussion forum.

Download the latest version of Big Medium here.
