Qwerty – it was “stringByTrimmingWhitespace” … I agree with you that the burden of uniqueness should fall heavier on the plugins than on the apps. But I have to admit my naming was pretty vulnerable to clashing.

In the end, it’s not worth arguing about who should have chosen a more unique name. I’ll be choosing a more unique name and using it for 2.1.1.

Of interest, what was the method called? I think it should be these ‘informal’ plugins that should use a unique naming scheme (like a prefix), not you.

Mark – thanks for your concern, but it turns out there really was a weird XML parsing bug affecting MarsEdit, just so happened to be on the same day as the WordPress outages :) Glad to hear yours is resolved now.

I had the problem with the update and I turned off the “Edit in WriteRoom” plugin and the new version now works. Thanks for the great (and fast) detective work, Daniel!

Were the reports from wordpress.com users?
If so we have a problem with xmlrpc so Marsedit will not have been at fault.
The problem is resolved there though now.
