I just upgraded to the new version, afer having installed Typo for the first time a few days ago. So, I consider myself lucky to have made this experience so early - before creating much content.

Oh, this sounds overly negative: But what I meant to say: it's managable to do the upgrade. I could use my old theme and only had to fix a few things, that weren't fixed in the new version. I guess it will get more complicated, if the database changes and/or the default.rhtml file has to be changed.

There seem to be problems still with:

• Talkbacks: the controller doesn't seem to work at all. It has the wrong classname, and adding ping urls doesn't work, because of a missing article id. I am quite confident now, that it isn't caused by my general cluelessness about how talkbacks work. (I am a blognewby, or bloby?. ;)
• Livesearch: A &_= is added to my search term. I quickfixed this by deleting &_= from the search term in the controller. I have now idea, why that happens.
• There seems to be a problem stemming from the fact, that ActiveRecord returns a true value, but Typo expects a Fixnum. I don't know, but I'd lay the blame on ActiveRecord for this one. It seems to guess (since recently?) that tinyint(1) means boolean in the Mysql schema, but it still is a char, where only the lowest decimal digit is displayed.

I think, I'll soon have a look at the subversion checkout of typo to find out more about the glitches mentioned above.
