QumanaXP Public Beta Launched

For the past few weeks, I've been trying out the closed beta versions of ecto for Windows, my long-time offline editor, and also trying out - QumanaXP is very impressive. The latest beta 3.0.0-b1 reflects some serious development work over previous betas - they do listen to the testers - and shows a strong commitment by Qumana to produce a reliable tool for blogging that will stand up well against the competition. One thing I'm very pleased (and relieved) to see is that a major issue with posting to WordPress blog - works perfectly including with categories. Today QumanaXP goes into public beta, meaning anyone can download the beta and take it for a spin. It will be formally launched at the download the beta now! Try it for yourself. You might also want to take a look at the contest Qumana has launched as part of their incentivizing bloggers to use their tool ;) I'll be posting more detailed commentary about QumanaXP soon.
