Perch Update 1.7.3

03 October 2011

We’ve updated Perch with a number of small bug fixes for issues discovered via our support system, as well as an update to the default bundled MarkItUp! content editor plugin.

Please back up your site and database before updating. If upgrading from a version prior to 1.7, run the /perch/update script once you have copied the files, and due to database changes, be sure to save any region before changing its settings or deleting items.
