MarsEdit 5.3.3: Micro.blog Summary Support

March 12th, 2025

MarsEdit 5.3.3 is now available on the MarsEdit site and on the Mac App Store.

This update includes a number of bug fixes, as well as a change to allow Micro.blog users to edit the “Summary” text for a Micro.blog post by editing what MarsEdit refers to as the “Excerpt.”

Complete list of changes for this release:

  • Enabled the Excerpt field on Micro.blog blogs to edit “Summary” text
  • Fix a crash that could occur when editing long lines in the plain text editor
  • Fix a bug that prevented the JavaScript browser bookmarklet from working on some sites
  • Fix a bug that caused duplicated text when using dictation in rich text
  • Differentiate errors from Jetpack about IP address being flagged from regular login failures
  • Handle “Too Many Requests” responses more intelligently, retrying after the recommended delay when possible
  • Fix a bug that could cause the “New Blog” panel to get very tall and not shrink again
  • Remove media assets from the list of “posts” returned by AppleScript

If you enjoy MarsEdit, please consider writing a review or rating the app on the Mac App Store, spreading the word on Facebook, other social networks, or of course, by writing about the app on your own blog! Thanks for your support.
