The main focus of this release is to improve the app’s performance and reliability. The app has been moved to Core Data, which is a much improved way of managing information locally on the device. Also, the methods used to communicate over XML-RPC have been updated to better handle communication issues and increase reliability of the app. In total there have been 117 changes in this release.
We’ve cleaned up the Post Editor interface to make it easier to write and edit posts and pages. Simply select the icons along the bottom of the post editor to edit post settings, view attachments and add media. You can also now upload multiple media objects at once!
One big reason I ditched my iPad was because posting to a Wordpress-powered site was such a pain. For me, writing on a computer is just a far better solution.
While I’m anxious to test the new app, I’d love to see something like MarsEdit come to iOS. Lots of people rely on things like custom fields that this app just doesn’t deal with.
