Having moved our case tracking system to Fogbugz on-demand, one of our favorite features is its reporting function. You can see the current activity of Movable Type development with a variety of graphs and charts. I would like to introduce some of the highlights here.
Number of fixed and implemented cases ¶
The following graph shows numbers of fixed bugs and implemented features since 2007 when we started to use Fogbugz. As you can see, it is more active than ever.
I should also mention that this achievement includes a lot of contributions from the community which is also shown in the long list of the acknowledgments in 5.1 release notes.
You can check the live status if you have an account. If you don't, you can create an account to report a bug or send a feature request.
Number of open cases ¶
You might wonder how the submitted cases are handled. The development team is reviewing new cases on every Thursday. And periodically we conduct "a big triage" to sweep remaining cases. The following graph shows the improvement in our product management.
Now all the feature request cases have been reviewed and categorized in this product backlog page.
10th birthday of Movable Type ¶
October is a special month for Movable Type. And especially this year, it is the 10th anniversary since it was born in 2001. Thank you for your continual support. We hope to be a further exciting platform for you to enjoy.

Happy Birthday Movable Type!
I've adopted this platform from the very first day I've seen it and over time I've learned to love and take care of it, just like a baby.
And God, there are already 9 (nine) years since I've started to work with it and as time passes I feel happier with how the platform is evolving.
For me, as a professional, movable type became more than a way of life, a way of living!
As a just married guy, I wish movable type at least 3 times more years, so that my children would have a strong publishing platform to play with.
Kind Regards,
Mihai Bocsaru

Congratulations on some very effective charts. They speak volumes about why people should be switching to MT 5.1.
