    Every year, around this time, I try to dedicate significant time to address any large project work that may have been percolating around MarcEdit.  This year will be no different.  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.  There a lot of…

  • 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…

  • MarcEdit 7.2.x Updates

    I posted two updates today Version 7.2.100 (which the auto update will pull down).
