	MarcEdit 7.5 Update Status
I’m planning to start making testing versions of the new MarcEdit instance available around the first of the year broadly, to a handful of testers in mid-Dec.&#160; The translation from .NET 4.7.2 to .NET 5 was more significant than I would have thought – and includes a number of swapped default values – so hunting &#8230;
	Changes to System.Diagnostics.Process in .NET Core
In .NET Core, one of the changes that caught me by surprise is the change related to starting processes.&#160; In the .NET framework – you can open a web site, file, etc. just by using the following:\ System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(path); However, in .NET Core – this won’t work.&#160; When trying to open a file, the process will &#8230;
	MarcEdit 7.5/MarcEdit Mac 3.5 Work
Every year, around this time, I try to dedicate significant time to address any large project work that may have been percolating around MarcEdit.&#160; This year will be no different.&#160; Over the past 4 months, I’ve been working on moving MarcEdit away from the .NET 4.7.2 Framework to .NET Core 3.1.&#160; There a lot of &#8230;
	MarcEdit: Identifying Invalid UTF-8 Data in MARC Records
Ah Dante – if only he had been a librarian.  I’m almost certain that had the divine comedy been written by a cataloger – character encodings and those that mangle them – would definitely make an appearance.  I can almost see the story in my head.  Our wayward traveler, confused when our guide, Virgil, comments &#8230;
	MarcEdit 7.2.200
I’ve worked on a number of updates this weekend– here is the list: UI Changes I’ve removed the quick links on the front page, and changed this to a list of selectable topics.&#160; This will make it easier for me to add to this list. I’ve added a new Quick Access button to the top &#8230;
	Build New Field Changes
** Updated: Official Help page in the KB: https://marcedit.reeset.net/build-new-field This isn’t going to meet all the use cases I’ve seen – but this should address the most common question that comes up – the ability to have the build new field generate multiple fields. The process will be based on the presence or lack of &#8230;

	Summary of recent MarcEdit Changes between Feb. 2020–May 5, 2020
Like a lot of folks, I’ve been working from home and have had some free time to do some extra work on MarcEdit.&#160; Nearly all of these changes (save for the XML Editor) were made in the Mac Version as well (or will be made in the Mac Version by weeks end (specifically, the Bibframe &#8230;
	MarcEdit 7.2.160 Updates
There is one update that I want to highlight related to the new update, and that related to the installer.&#160; I noticed that with the Windows 10 2020-04 cumulative update, registry reflection (the process of moving registry keys into the 32-bit hive), has affected the MarcEdit installer.&#160; This directly impacts the applications ability to determine &#8230;
