BBEdit Reaches Version 9
Bare Bones Edit, affectionately known as BBEdit, has now arrived at version 9. The release notes are pretty long, as you might expect for a full point release. More about key features in a minute..
BBEdit has long been one of those products that make it a joy to build sites on a Mac. While I consider myself a fan, competing applications like Panic Software’s CODA have been quickly closing in on BBEdit, even exceeding it in areas like auto-completion, overall interface and price ($79 vs. $129). That said, Bare Bones Software has an extensive history and huge installed base.. a base who has practically grown up with the product. This full point update will go a long way toward keeping them happy.
Notable improvements:
- Improved multi-file grouping into ‘Projects’
- Better auto-completion and syntax coloring, to speed development
- You can now work with/edit the search results without opening up another window
- Application preferences and ‘Application Support’ folder can be synced over .Mac/MobileMe
- New Scratchpad allowing quick edits and batch copy/paste prior to inserting code into your document
- Improved autosave (every minute)
- VM Ware ‘Fusion’ users can now preview pages in Windows versions of Firefox, Opera, Safari and IE
Upgrading to BBEdit 9 from any prior commercial version is $30. If you bought BBEdit after Jan 1, 2008 your upgrade looks like it will be free.
