Update: There was a minor problem with the CMS default data in the 4.0beta released yesterday. If you attempt to edit articles with the default data installed, you get a blank page. I've just released a new build of Beta 4 with a fix for this. You should just need to copy the files over your existing installation, there is no additional upgrade required. Alternately if you edit each section and save it the problem will go away.
