   Script Debugger 5.0

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Late Night Software has updated [1]Script Debugger to version 5.0, a
   major new release for the AppleScript authoring environment (for an
   overview of the app, see Matt Neuburg's "[2]Script Debugger 4.5 Offers
   Power Editing to AppleScripters," 26 November 2008). Script Debugger
   5.0 introduces more than [3]30 new features, including script templates
   that can help you create new script documents more quickly, a tabbed
   document interface for viewing multiple scripts in a single window, and
   a new bundle editor that enables you to open resource files or drag new
   resources directly into a bundle. The new release also unifies several
   floating inspector panels and the Results drawer into a three-tabbed
   pane available at the right-hand side of each document. Other
   enhancements include improved Spotlight indexing, a redesigned Find and
   Replace panel that won't obscure portions of your script when in use,
   and a Result Bar that enables you to view the result of a script when
   you don't need the full power of the app's Explorers and Variables
   browsers.

   Script Debugger 5.0 is now focused solely on AppleScript code-building,
   and it requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or later. You can upgrade to
   Script Debugger 5.0 for $99 from version 4.5 or $129 from version 4.0.
   If you purchased Script Debugger 4.5 after 25 April 2012, you are
   eligible for a free upgrade to version 5.0. ($199 new, $99/$129
   upgrade, 12.6 MB)
