   BBEdit 10.5.8 and TextWrangler 4.5.6

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Bare Bones Software has released [1]BBEdit 10.5.8 and [2]TextWrangler
   4.5.6 with a healthy list of customer-submitted fixes that are shared
   by both titles. Of note to TidBITS staff, the two text editors fix a
   bug that caused Text Factory transformations applied to untitled
   documents to change the document's line endings to 'Classic Mac (CR),'
   as well as a 'lurking' bug that would occur while processing identical
   files during a multi-file Find Differences operation (both of which
   were identified and reported by Matt Neuburg and Adam Engst). The two
   updates also fix a bug where bz2-compressed files were not read
   correctly, a couple of issues associated with FTP logging, and a bug in
   the Fortran function scanner that didn't correctly detect when a
   qualifying identifier didn't end exactly at a line break. BBEdit 10.5.8
   solely modifies the way unsaved or untitled documents use line breaks
   to improve compatibility when previewed using an external helper that
   isn'te a Web browser (such as Marked, the Markdown previewer). ($49.99
   for BBEdit, 12.9 MB, [3]release notes; free for TextWrangler, 9.8 MB,
   [4]release notes)
