Bare Bones Software today announced the release and immediate availability of BBEdit(r) 8.7.1, an update to its professional strength text editor. The BBEdit 8.7.1 update is a maintenance release that fixes reported issues and adds several minor features and other refinements to this award-winning HTML and text editor.
BBEdit is the leading professional-strength HTML and text editor for the Macintosh. Specifically crafted in response to the needs of Web authors and software developers, this award-winning product provides an abundance of features for editing, searching, and manipulation of text. BBEdit reliably transforms text with high performance.
An intelligent interface provides easy access to BBEdit's best of class features including grep pattern matching, search and replace across multiple files, function navigation and syntax coloring for numerous source code languages, FTP and SFTP open and save, AppleScript and Unix scripting support, clippings, code folding, intra-application automation, and a complete set of HTML tools.
The latest upgrade, BBEdit 8.5 (and higher) represents a major interface overhaul, designed to streamline navigation and ease discovery of BBEdit's powerful feature set. Beyond significant revision, BBEdit 8.5 introduced Code Folding, Auto-save and Check Spelling As You Type features, as well as Ruby, SQL and YAML language support. The BBEdit 8.5 overhaul revised the text-editing window and Preferences, including the addition of new per-language option settings, and replaced the traditional Glossary feature with an intelligent Clippings system. Other momentous revisions include enhanced Find Differences, FTP/SFTP, Disk Browser, and Text Factory. Versions 8.6 and 8.7, freely available to BBEdit 8.5 customers, included support for Markdown and Lua, reading and writing "binary property list" format, and more.
