SixApart have released MovableType 4.24.
This release, while minor, is aimed at addressing a security issue which SixApart informed its partners about earlier during the week. They released a patch at the time, though have not provided any details as to what the actual security problem was.
The new version of MovableType does, however, bring one new feature - an improved password recovery method:

Rolled into the MTE 4.24, MT Pro 4.24, and MTOS 4.24 release, however, is an improved Password Recovery mechanism. Now only an email address is required for MT to trigger the recovery email, making the Password Hint obsolete.This is a welcome improvement!
I mentioned that 6Apart had released a patch yesterday.
Earlier this morning (or late last night - depending on your timezone) the company made available a point release of their flagship product, Movable Type Pro 4.21
Movable Type product manager, Byrne Reese, writing about the release states that it fixes two bugs:

Movable Type product manager, Byrne Reese, writing about the release states that it fixes two bugs:
Custom fields data. If you are upgrading from Movable Type Commercial or Enterprise 4.1 to Movable Type Pro or Enterprise 4.2 and you are using custom fields on any object in Movable Type and there are more than 100 rows in the table for that object, some of your custom field data could be lost in the migration.
Archive mappings. If you create a new blog on your Movable Type 4.2 installation and you delete an archive mapping from one of the archive templates, this action will remove the rest of your blog archive mappings inadvertently.

Several people encountered issues upgrading to MT4.2 Pro where they had been using "custom fields" (wonderful concept by the way).
