That's a bummer you won't get the upgrade notice if you already
purchased but if Barebones has an upgrade price for version 10 we can
buy through the app store, you'll get in sync at that point.
One comment I noticed on TextWrangler was someone said BB had to
remove the ability to edit files as root to comply with Apple
policies. 1. Is this true? 2. Does the same apply to BBedit purchased
through the app store?
Read the page Steve linked to [1].
The requirements for the Mac App Store are quite clear on this. I read
those, and immediately expected BareBones to postpone the release of
BBEdit to the Mac App Store exactly for this reason. They picked another
option, which probably makes business sense, but still leaves some users
in the cold. Oh well, if you need that feature, you're probably savvy
enough to find the store at barebones.com anyway.
And the upgrade - already installed confusion applies to all
applications. This is something we/Apple probably will regret at some
point.
