[ANN] BBEdit 12

[Rich Siegel]

Good { morning, afternoon, evening },

We are pleased to announce the release and immediate
availability of BBEdit 12. This major upgrade adds over a
hundred new features, improvements to existing features, and
minor refinements.

Here are the high points, excerpted from the "What's New in
BBEdit 12" page at <https://www.barebones.com/>.

* **Improved dark-theme support** - When using a dark color
scheme, BBEdit now colors editing and project window chrome to
match, for a more integrated overall appearance. (For customers
used to the old behavior, this can be set in the "Appearance"
preferences.) For customers who have never before used BBEdit or
TextWrangler, the "BBEdit Dark" color scheme is now the factory
default; this can be changed if desired in the "Text Colors" preferences.

* **Improved platform behavior** - Thanks to extensive internal
overhaul, BBEdit now supports intrinsic OS behaviors such as
Split View (and many others).

* **Improved UI for FTP/SFTP Browsers, Text Factory, and Preview
windows** - many non-editing windows have been overhauled for
improved appearance and behavior, and to add features.

* **New "Canonize" tool** - Provides a text-based model for
batch search and replace, either within a single file or (by
using a Text Factory) in multiple files.

* **New "Columns" Editing Commands** - Easily cut, copy, delete,
or rearrange columns in delimited (CSV, TSV) text files without
requiring a spreadsheet or complicated regular expressions.

* **FTP/SFTP browsers** now feature an outline view for improved navigation

* **Text Factory windows** now provide the ability to turn
individual steps on and off

* **Preview in BBEdit windows** now provide runtime
introspection of previewed pages using the WebKit Inspector

* **Text Extraction** - This powerful addition to BBEdit's
legendary searching capabilities allows you to locate and
collect search results into a single text document. Extraction
can be run on the active text document, or across multiple files
and folders. Use of Grep replacement patterns during extraction
enables transformations to the extracted text.

* **Extensive Internal Modernization** - Many internal
subsystems have been rewritten or updated to support new
features, improve performance, add refinement, and make future
enhancements possible.

You can read more about these, and many other changes in BBEdit
12, in the BBEdit 12 change notes: <https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/notes-12.0.html>

You can download BBEdit 12 from here to try it out:

The BBEdit demo is fully featured and functional to offer a true
test of the software. The evaluation period lasts for thirty
(30) days. At the end of the 30-day evaluation period, BBEdit
will remain permanently functional with a revised feature set
that includes everything in TextWrangler, plus a few more
things: <https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/comparison.html#free-comparison>.

The release of BBEdit 12 completes the sunsetting process for
TextWrangler. We encourage all TextWrangler customers to switch
over to BBEdit. It won't cost you anything, and you won't lose
anything. :-) A Q&A is available here: <https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/faqs.html>.

[List mom note: please start new threads for specific questions
rather than replying to this message. Thanks. :-)]

Enjoy,

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