What's New:
A new backups feature. Before a post is sent to the server, a copy of the post is written to ~/Library/Application Support/MarsEdit/Backups/. That way if the server has some sort of internal error, and tells MarsEdit all is well (when really it dropped the post!) all will not be lost when your post window closes, since there will be a copy in a plain text file on disk.
A fix for html entities being translated when you do a refresh on your weblog.
Error messages now show up when using Blogger/Atom.
Additional updated error messages.
Bug fix where the whole column was selected when sorting in the main window.
Updated french localization.
Fixed a crasher with the toolbar.
Fixed a bug where Bloxsom scripts weren’t run on new posts.
NewsGator’s weblog ping service has been added to the list of default ping urls.
