Bare Bones Software Releases BBEdit 11.5
Bare Bones Software has released BBEdit 11.5, a significant update to its professional strength HTML and text editor.
BBEdit 11.5 offers a variety of performance improvements, refinements to fit and finish, and changes to streamline workflow in specific areas, such as Find Differences. In all, this new version includes more than one hundred sixty new features, changes to existing features, and fixes for specific reported issues. Version 11.5 requires Mac OS X 10.9.5 or later, and is fully compatible with OS X 10.11 “El Capitan.”
“This version contains many improvements, both on the surface and under the hood, that everyone will appreciate,” says Rich Siegel, founder and CEO of Bare Bones Software, Inc. “More work has gone into BBEdit 11.5 than we’ve ever done outside of a major upgrade, and it’s a great demonstration of how many changes that seem small can add up to make a very big difference.”
The updated application boosts performance in a variety of areas, with the result that many common operations are faster than before. In addition, BBEdit 11.5 significantly streamlines the workflow for Find Differences, with changes ranging from an easier-to-use Find Differences dialog to automatic synchronized scrolling of the documents being compared within a Differences window.
Version 11.5 incorporates numerous refinements to the fit and finish of BBEdit. Reorganization of some menus and elements of editing windows makes more efficient use of available space and reduces visual overhead, even as new commands are added.
Additional updates and improvements in the new version include additions to the FTP/SFTP connection interface, new contextual menu commands in project document sidebars, new features in the “bbedit” command-line tool, and support for iCloud Drive as an alternative means of synchronizing setup information across multiple Macs. BBEdit 11.5 requires Mac OS X 10.9.5 or later, and is fully compatible with OS X 10.11 “El Capitan.”
