MarsEdit 1.1 released for Intel and PowerPC based Macs
Along with all the hoopla over the introduction of the new Intel-based Macintoshes by Apple yesterday, there was a MarsEdit product upgrade announcement by Newsgator.
A new version of the MarsEdit 1.1 blogging software has just been released. I am using it now, in fact.
MarsEdit is a blogging application for writing entries to a variety of popular weblogs. It is simple to use and packed with powerful features.
This new version is one of the new Intel and PowerPC dual binaries. The old application was 6.3 megabytes and this new one is 13.2 megabytes. So the size is just over double what the old application's size was. The advantage is that it will run at full speed on an Intel-based Macintosh or a PowerPC based Macintosh. Since the new iMacs have not one but two CPUs on their central processor chip and are rated twice as fast as the iMac G5 they are replacing, full speed means double speed in their case.
Installation was simple: just drag the application to the Application folder, replacing any old version that was already there. This is one of the beauties of working on a Macintosh.
No registry, no uninstaller, and most of the time - no installer required either. Just drag to the Application's folder to install - drag to Trash to uninstall. Kind of the way you would expect installing/uninstalling to be. Especially on a personal computer.
