Bare Bones Software Releases TextWrangler 3.1
Enhanced Command Line Integration with New Search Tool, and More
BEDFORD, Mass. – Jan. 19, 2010 – Bare Bones Software today announced the release and immediate availability of TextWrangler™ 3.1, a significant update to the award-winning text editor.
TextWrangler 3.1 introduces a new command-line tool, “twfind”, which provides access to TextWrangler’s legendary multi-file searching from the Unix command line.
In addition, FTP/SFTP browsers now feature a “New” button allowing for the creation of new files and folders directly within the browser window. Further enhancements include direct management of attached menu scripts in the Menus preference panel, improvements to the Java and Python language support, new support for the ability to browse Unix “tar” files in disk browsers, and the addition of an “Unlearn Spelling” command to remove learned words from a user’s spelling dictionary, when running on Mac OS X 10.5 and later.
Version 3.1 also offers enhanced handling of extended file attributes, improved syntax coloring and more. In addition, interface enhancements to the Find and Multi-File Search windows now show tooltips when hovering over various option switches and buttons.
TextWrangler 3.1 also includes fixes to reported issues and significant refinements to this popular, general-purpose text processing tool. Detailed information on all of the changes and improvements implemented in TextWrangler 3.1 can be found at:
