BBEdit 9.2 introduced an array of noteworthy features and refinements, including an innovative new Sleep command, which captures the state of the application and restores it at next launch. By sleeping BBEdit instead of quitting, customers can continue working after a system restart or software update with minimal disruption. The version 9.2 update also adds built-in support for editing LassoScript™ source code, including syntax coloring, function navigation and text folding.
“LassoSoft focuses on helping Web developers create custom, data-driven Web sites without requiring a degree in computer science to do the job,” explained Fletcher Sandbeck, co-founder of LassoSoft. “Bare Bones Software’s BBEdit is a wonderful fit for our developer community, and we are thrilled with the LassoScript editing support introduced in version 9.2. Now our customers can apply BBEdit’s legendary performance and feature set to their work.”
BEdit 9.2 also includes major enhancements to Projects with added commands for convenience, shortcuts for searching, and a new file format which better fits with source code management systems such as Subversion and Perforce. Version 9.2 includes an overhaul to BBEdit’s management of recently used items, and signaled enhancements to the Scratchpad feature, syntax coloring for all languages, with specific improvements to the Java and Python language support, and new support for the ability to browse Unix “tar” files in disk browsers.
“BBEdit has a reputation as the high performance, professional text editor with something for everyone,” said Rich Siegel, founder and CEO of Bare Bones Software, Inc. “In our best traditions, the new and refined features in version 9.2, from Sleep to LassoScript support to tarball browsing, are useful across the range of customers and their workflows.”
