TypeMetal 2.0.8 just arrived on the Mac App Store, with important fixes for both general HTML editing and WordPress issues. Of particular note:

• Image references sometimes broke when a WordPress draft was saved and later reopened. That troublesome bug should be all fixed now.
• Users whose WordPress sites are configured to use a custom XML-RPC URL (you know who you are) are no longer out of luck trying to connect using TypeMetal. TypeMetal’s WordPress login panel now allows for entering a custom XML-RPC URL, as described under “Connecting To WordPress”.
• The Source Loupe’s virtual mouse pointer is back from an unintentionally long vacation, and once again hovers over the corresponding part of your HTML markup as you mouse over the rendered page.
• We’ve protected against loss of WordPress draft content due to clicking dangerous links, editing a draft’s category or tag list with unfortunate timing, or getting the selected range to exceed attachment point limits. In short, your writing is safer now.
• New post categories added via the WordPress web interface now reliably make their way to TypeMetal when you sync.
• The “View in Browser” context-menu command can find WordPress.com-hosted drafts again.

See the TypeMetal Version History for the complete list of fixes in 2.0.8.
