Windows Live Writer and SubText incompatibility issues

Microsoft released 2nd beta of Windows Live Writer yesterday. That’s good, I used 1st beta to publish my posts and I tried to publish previous post with the new version but there seems to be some API incompatibility issue between WLW and SubText, since when I tried to publish it, it Subtext threw this exception:

Server Error 0 Occurred

Illegal Characters Found    at Subtext.Framework.Text.HtmlHelper.HasIllegalContent(String s)
   at Subtext.Framework.Data.DatabaseObjectProvider.FormatEntry(Entry e, Boolean UseKeyWords)
   at Subtext.Framework.Data.DatabaseObjectProvider.Create(Entry entry, Int32[] categoryIds)
   at Subtext.Framework.Entries.Create(Entry entry)
   at Subtext.Framework.XmlRpc.MetaWeblog.newPost(String blogid, String username, String password, Post post, Boolean publish)

I guess I’ll stick to beta 1 for now.

[UPDATE]

Seems that it’s not an issue with WLW, but with it’s Digg this plugin, after removing it, everything works the way it should Smile

Is anyone using xUML and MDA this days?

I’m preparing an overview of xUML, MDA and UML, how they fit together and most of all about advantages and disadvantages of using this methodology. I googled a little bit and although in theory those look pretty promising, I really couldn’t find much success stories, nor tools supporting xUML (I found only 2: iUML and Cassandra). Generating complete code generated from model seems tempting, so why noone is using it? Is it lack of tools? Or maybe it’s all too vague, too imprecise, and people are afraid, that, after all they will have to dive into  this generated model and tune it up manually, so why bother at all? What do you think?
