Bare Bones Software Releases BBEdit 12.1
Now 64-bit, New Touch Bar Support, Faster Performance and Opens
Even Larger Files
NORTH CHELMSFORD, Mass. – February 6, 2018 – Bare Bones Software today announced the release and immediate availability of BBEdit® 12.1, the first feature update in the version 12 generation of its professional strength HTML and text editor.
BBEdit 12.1 can now open significantly larger files; and it can now perform more large-scale operations on big files than was possible in previous versions. Performance has been dramatically improved for opening and saving large files as well.
New Touch Bar support provides easy access to commonly used functions in the FTP/SFTP browser, Text Factory, “Preview in BBEdit” and editing windows. Version 12.1 also adds significant enhancements to “Go To Line” and “Preview in BBEdit” features.
BBEdit 12.1 is the first version of BBEdit to run as a 64-bit application, the benefits of which include quicker launch times, plus access to a wider variety of third-party color pickers and contextual menu plug-ins. BBEdit 12.1 also includes enhancements and refinements to existing features, and fixes for specific reported issues, and is a recommended and free update to all registered customers with BBEdit 12.
“BBEdit’s legendary support for working on large files is even better in version 12.1,” said Rich Siegel, founder and CEO of Bare Bones Software, Inc. “And while the benefits of being a 64-bit version may not be immediately evident to most customers, this update addresses Apple’s advisory that applications running on macOS High Sierra should be 64-bit applications, in order to ensure compatibility with future macOS versions. As a 64-bit application, BBEdit is ready to embrace the future.”
BBEdit offers a generous evaluation model in which its full feature set is available for the first 30 days of use. At the end of the 30-day evaluation period, BBEdit will continue to run with a permanent feature set which includes its powerful editing capabilities, but not its web authoring tools or other exclusive features. BBEdit’s exclusive features may be re-enabled at any time with a purchased license.
BBEdit 12 requires macOS 10.11.6 or later, and is fully compatible with macOS 10.13 “High Sierra.” Detailed information on all of the changes in BBEdit 12.1 can be found at:
