I&#8217;ve prioritized the feedback of many users and added the ability to resize, add images, view character count, and more. I will continue to improve upon this in future updates.<\/p>\n<p>While I was working on the improvements above, I spotted the opportunity to improve upon the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\">Tumblr<\/a> support a bit as well. Previously only one image could be added to a Tumblr photo post. That limit has now been removed. At this point it&#8217;s not clear what the future of Tumblr is exactly, but I hope this change will be welcomed by MarsEdit users who continue to enjoy posting on that platform.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the complete list of changes for this release:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New: Mastodon Support!
