   TextWrangler 5.0

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Bare Bones Software introduces [1]TextWrangler 5.0, a major new release
   for the free text editor, which gains support for OS X 10.11 El Capitan
   while also adding and improving a number of features. The update
   improves the Find Differences results windows, replacing the previous
   three-window presentation with a single window that displays both old
   and new files simultaneously. Syntax coloring now allows greater
   flexibility in color choices for language support, and TextWrangler now
   highlights all instances of a selection by underlining all occurrences
   in a document. TextWrangler 5.0 also extends Zap Gremlins to use ASCII
   equivalents when replacing gremlins with the character code, replaces
   the Recent Documents section in the sidebar with a 'recent' pop-up
   button in the action area at the bottom of the sidebar, adds Select Up
   and Select Down commands to the Edit menu to facilitate rectangular
   selection via the keyboard, and improves the Entab/Detab dialog. If you
   decide to move up to the more powerful [2]BBEdit text editor from Bare
   Bones, your TextWrangler preferences will be retained and automatically
   imported into BBEdit. (Free, 9.5 MB, [3]release notes, 10.8.5+)
