MarsEdit 3.7.6 is now available from the MarsEdit home page, and has been submitted to Apple for update on the Mac App Store.

I recently took the opportunity to go through a long list of open bug reports against MarsEdit, and discovered a good number of items that I felt motivated to finally take action on. Although MarsEdit is on the whole very stable, like any complex application, it has bugs. This release fixes many minor issues that have nonetheless affected users over the years.

Here is the list of bugs addressed by this update:

• Fix a bug that prevented local draft being deleted after publishing bookmark-generated posts
• Fix a bug in which pasted text from Microsoft Word could get treated as an image in MarsEdit
• Fix a bug that could allow image uploads to be attempted to a blog that doesn’t support it
• Fix a bug that could cause unnecessary prompts for Blogger username/password
• Fix a bug in which the media manager failed to update the target blog when active document changed
• Fix a bug in which image pixel size did not adjust to account for Retina mode switching on
• Fix the Flickr browser to omit photos that are not public
• Fix the appearance of ‘New Category’ text field to use proper placeholder text
• Fix scripting support for inserting text, so the insertion point moves to the end of insertion

Software development and design is an iterative process. Here’s looking forward to the next steps!
