It’s come a long way in 10 years.
Recently, Red Sweater Software announced the release of MarsEdit 4.0.1, the newest version of its blog creation software.
The new version, a 14.5 megabyte download from the Mac App Store offers the following major fixes and changes:
– A new look, a more modern toolbar and a cleaner interface.
– Enhanced WordPress support, including the ability to set the featured image for posts, select Post Format, and to see and change the author of published posts.
– A new visual button bar that allows you to quickly perform common changes, live image size editing and a “Typewriter Mode” to keep text centered vertically while writing.
– Improved blog archiving capable of downloading the entire history of published posts and pages on your blog, thereby creating a full backup on your Mac.
– Automatic preview template generation, which allows you to preview your posts as you write them.
– Faster, more robust preview filters.
– System integration via MarsEdit’s Safari App Extension.
MarsEdit 4.0.1 is available for free and requires macOS 10.12 or later to install and run.
