Good { morning, afternoon, evening },

We are pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of BBEdit 15.5.5. This is a free update for anyone using BBEdit 15, and includes a number of fixes for reported issues, as well as all the new features and refinements previously released as part of the BBEdit 15 upgrade.

BBEdit 15.5.5 is compatible and supported for use on macOS Tahoe (26.x).

A complete digest of the changes is available here:

<https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/notes-15.5.5.html>

If you're already using BBEdit 15 (outside of the Mac App Store), you can choose "Check for Updates" from the BBEdit menu, or get the update from the BBEdit updates page:

<https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/updates.html>

Mac App Store customers of BBEdit will get the update automatically, and if you have an active subscription, all of the new advanced features are immediately available to you.

For those using an older version: if you would like to upgrade your paid BBEdit license, you are welcome to do so, starting here:

<https://www.barebones.com/store/bbedit_upgrades.html> .

If you purchased a BBEdit 14 license directly from us (or using our FastSpring web store) on or after July 1, 2023, you have been sent a free license upgrade, to the email address you used when purchasing. If you did not receive this, please check your spam traps.

Meanwhile, BBEdit offers a 30-day evaluation period. During that period, all of BBEdit’s features are available. When it ends, you can still use BBEdit — with no nag screens or unsolicited interruptions, for free, forever.

After the evaluation period, you may re-enable all of BBEdit’s exclusive features at any time by purchasing a license (at a discount, if you have a paid license for a previous version).

Enjoy,

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.

BBEdit 15.5.5 appeared to fix the beachballing (swinwheel cursor) issue I was having with BBEdit with MacOS 26 that was supposedly due to the window server stalling.

Thanks!!
