MarsEdit 3.7.2 is available now on the MarsEdit home page, and will be submitted to the Mac App Store approval for approval by Apple.

I mentioned previously that our apps are compatible with OS X 10.11 El Capitan. Well, you never quite know for sure until the masses get ahold of the app and start playing with it. As soon as 10.11 shipped I started seeing reports with a tell-tale indication that MarsEdit was crashing in the process of exiting full screen mode.

I got to the bottom of the problem, which has to do with nuances about how things are cleaned up when a MarsEdit editor is being closed. The issue in the crashes was something about the process of closing a MarsEdit document and exiting full screen mode at the same time, caused a perfect storm of sorts in the cleaning up process: the system was still animating the window after MarsEdit had said goodbye and thought it was done.

MarsEdit 3.7.2 fixes this crash and also included a number of other fixes I’ve been queueing up.

MarsEdit 3.7.2

• Fix a crash that occurred when closing an editor window directly from Full Screen mode in OS X El Capitan
• MarsEdit now defaults to HTTPS for new connections to Tumblr blogs to increase security
• Fix an issue that prevented MarsEdit from connecting to HTTPS endpoints that require TLS1.1 or TLS1.2
• Fix a problem where content in a post’s title could be stripped for display if it looked like HTML
• Fix a bug in handling literal % characters in text supplied by browser bookmarklet
• For Flickr photo browsing, supprot an option to download 500 photos for moderately high number without downloading all
• MarsEdit’s editor window now fill all available space in full screen mode

Let me know if you run into anything unusual with the update!
