Version: 0.10.8
Beware: app requires you to instal Java 8 in order to perform HTML5 checks - this should be listed in the 'Requirements' section.
This offers no advantage over the service already offered at the W3C Validators website. Nowadays, the situations in which you'd *have* to perform a validation check in a hurry, while you are on-the-go, and without any access to the internet, is really an edge case. Certainly not enough to want me to instal Java on my Mac. A command-line tool that does NOT require Java would have been much more useful.

Version: 0.10.3
Validator 0.10.3 stopped working for me and just displays the following error message whenever I try to check a (valid) file:
"Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because its content type is application/x-crossover-xml, which is not currently supported by this service."
Somehow it associates all files to CrossOver (which I have installed), although it is a valid XML file of type text that I was able to check previously.

Version: 0.10.0
Great tool running fine under Lion starting with version 0.10 (hopefully 10.8 will be supported, too).
But there's still the problem that whenever the app resides in a folder with special characters (ñ, é, ä) it doesn't work anymore.
