Randy has released v3.1 of SharpMT, which is the PC client I use for my MT posting — and which, in fact, I’m using for this post.
I’m particularly pleased that this release includes a bug fix/feature add that I requested — converting some special characters (for em-dashes, curly quotes, etc.) into Unicode HTML entities. MT supports those natively via UTF-8, and such characters can be entered into a blog entry from the normal web screens. But MT’s XML-RPC client just doesn’t handle those characters properly. So SharpMT’s conversion here lets me copy-paste text using those characters directly into the MT post without ending up with a lot of “?” characters showing up in the blog.
Nice stuff.
