v2.0 — 1/15/13

Version 2 brings tons of new features and improvements. I’m dedicated to making this app perfect. If you encounter an issue or a translation error, feel free to contact me at support@tomwitkin.com.

New

  • Support for custom post types. Enable them for any WordPress.org blog within the settings.
  • Poster is now localized for English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish
  • Edit a post’s excerpt
  • Set posts as sticky
  • Edits to published posts can now be saved locally before re-publishing
  • Insert images at a specific location in a post by tapping and holding in the editor
  • Option to remove a post’s featured image
  • Re-order your blogs within the interface
  • Improved URL scheme with support for a callback URL (http://tomwitkin.com/poster/developers)

Changes

  • Typing a space in the slug field now inserts a dash rather than presenting an error, allowing for quicker entry
  • Maximum post download limit increased to 100 posts
  • Ability to edit a post’s excerpt, slug, or comments is now hidden by default in the post inspector. They can be unhidden by tapping “Options” in the inspector. All fields in the inspector can now be hidden.
  • Custom fields can now be given a friendlier label that’s used in the interface (ex: LinkFormatURL –> Link)
  • HTML preview and auto Markdown conversion now converts “–” and “—” to en and em dashes, respectively
  • New icon
  • Improved speed when syncing posts
  • Improved formatting when sharing a published post (unique formatting for Twitter/Facebook, email, and clipboard). Clipboard now receives only the link to a post.
  • Edits to posts are automatically saved. There’s no need to manually save a post anymore.
  • Faster title entry on iPhone
  • Improved memory usage and launch times (the initial launch may take longer than normal due to a one-time data migration)

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where duplicate custom fields would appear on the web interface for a post each time it was edited
  • Fixed an issue where a custom field could not be removed from a post
  • Fixed an issue where selecting a file from Dropbox would not create a new post
  • Fixed an issue where the keyboard could cover text when editing a post
  • Fixed an error for blogs that have identically named categories under different parent categories
