   BBEdit 12.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Bare Bones Software has issued [1]BBEdit 12.1, which has been updated
   to a 64-bit application and now requires OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan or
   later. The long-standing text editor now enables you to open and
   perform large-scale operations on very large files (exceeding the
   previous limit of roughly 1.5 GB). Other additions include support for
   MacBook Pro models with a Touch Bar (with options for FTP/SFTP browser
   windows, Text Factory windows, and editing windows), support for
   specifying line ranges in the Go To Line feature (via the menu command
   or popover from the cursor position display, and a new Open in Browser
   button in the Preview in BBEdit window.

   The release also significantly improves performance when soft-wrapping
   long documents to the window width, fixes a bug in which the
   Text-to-HTML entity conversion didn't honor the settings specified in
   the dialog box, prevents a crash that would occur when a computer's
   display configuration changed, and works around a bug in modern
   versions of Microsoft Office that caused certain characters to be
   mis-encoded as UTF-8 and pasted incorrectly into BBEdit.

   You can upgrade from BBEdit 11 for $29.99 or from an earlier version
   for $39.99 (upgrades for purchases made after 1 March 2017 [2]are
   free). Upgrade prices apply to copies purchased from the Mac App Store
   as well. ($49.99, $29.99 or $39.99 upgrade, free update from version
   12, 13.6 MB, [3]release notes, 10.11.6+)
