BBEdit 11.5.2
Bare Bones Software has released BBEdit 11.5.2, a maintenance release focused on fixing bugs. The venerable text editor resolves an issue where an unintentional drag of the mouse could occur when clicking on draggable objects, reduces the transient memory requirements when performing a non-grep Replace All operation using a long replace string, fixes a bug that cleared a document’s Undo history when using Move to New Window from the project sidebar popup or contextual menu, improves the performance of “Strip trailing whitespace,” improves saving the document state when closing a document, and fixes several crashes. ($49.99, free update, 12.0 MB, release notes, 10.9.5+)
I could probably do everything I do with BBEdit with something else, but I'm glad I don't have to. I use it for almost everything I write, from web pages to articles. I often use it to prepare long emails so that I can be sure to have them clearly written before I paste them into the email itself.
I'm sure I don't make use of many of its features, but that's the beauty of it, you don't have to even understand all it can do to love using it.
Finally, for me, it is a program that I just know will be well supported, as it has always been in the many years I've used it. It just doesn't get much better than that! Thanks BBEdit!
