Upgraded to MovableType 4.2

Tonight I upgraded to the release version of Movable Type Open Source 4.2. It was with some anxiety because last time I tried to upgrade to MTOS I had a few problems and ended up reinstalling a backup to get me back to MT. Tonight the upgrade went very smoothly without any problems at all.

The first thing I did was update my user profile, and add a user pic. To my surprise I saw there were two other users, supposedly added by "System". Zeroth and Zoe didn't last long as users because I deleted them straight away, and Zeroth uses Wordpress, so how did he end up as a user on my system??? Neither had permissions to do anything, and Zoe was a pending user, but how they got there in the first place is a mystery to me. Perhaps someone could enlighten me?

My motive for the upgrade was my frustration with FCKeditor. I had it saved in my config as the preferred rich text editor, but it would not display. It works fine on another installation I have that uses the latest MT version. Tonight I changed the rich text editor to the YUI Rich Text Editor, and still it wouldn't show up. After upgrading, the new editor is working perfectly, and is a breeze to use. I like it better than the FCKeditor.

MT 4.2 is faster and more efficient than previous versions, and the upgrade was worth it.
