Important Build Update for EE 2.1.1

EllisLab posted a new build for ExpressionEngine yesterday, providing a workaround for a bug that was introduced with EE 2.1.1. This bug prevents any third party add-ons from saving data on the publish page. That’s kind of a big deal if, say, you have a few Matrix or Playa fields in a publish form and, I don’t know, were thinking about entering some data into them and clicking Submit.

EllisLab has posted a new build for 2.1.1 which disables autosave, the source of this regression. While a bug this big is particularly egregious, it’s nice to see EllisLab being so responsive and getting a fix out the door so quickly.

If you’d like to see more about where this bug came from, check out Pascal Kriete’s post on the ExpressionEngine Blog. I also recommend taking a peek at the changelog. There are a couple more bugs that got fixed with this build. Lastly, if you updated to 2.1.1 this week, make sure you get the latest build.
