Six Apart today announced the release of Movable Type 5.

Movable Type 5 is puts more emphasis on whole-site publishing, starting with publishing a website and then adding blogs.

New and improved features in MT5 include:

• A new user dashboard for both the website and blogs. This makes it easy for authors, editors, designers and other publishers to easily navigate between the two.
• A new theme mechanism that makes it easy to apply a new theme across a website and blogs with a single click that proliferates changes throughout the published site.
• Enhanced content management features that include revision history and new custom fields. There are five new object types for custom fields: website, blog, comment, template and asset.

Movable Type is available in several versions, ranging from a free open source version to their commercial Enterprise version.
