[Edited to add a bit about upgrading from 11.x.]
Good afternoon,
For those readers of the BBEdit-talk list who aren’t sure
about our upgrade and pricing policy surrounding major upgrades
I thought I’d outline it here for you. It's been a long time
since we've introduced a major version upgrade, so we thought it
might be useful.
The short version is: We offer a free upgrade to anyone who
purchases BBEdit relatively near to the date when we release a
major version.
As such, if you buy a BBEdit 11 license now (whether new or as
an upgrade from an older version), you will receive a free
upgrade to BBEdit 12.0 when it ships. We’ll email you the
updated license code, automatically, so please make sure that
you provide a valid address when you order.
Today, the upgrade price from BBEdit 10 to BBEdit 11 is
US$29.99. This will get you the free upgrade to BBEdit 12.0.
Once BBEdit 12.0 ships, the price of upgrading from BBEdit 10.x
(*including* Mac App Store purchases), to the current version
will go up to US$39.99.
At that time, BBEdit 11 customers who are *not* eligible for a
free upgrade will be able to upgrade for US$29.99.
(These prices do not include VAT or sales tax, which will be
calculated at the time of purchase.)
So, if you’ve been waiting to upgrade from version 10 to
version 11, now would be a particularly good time to do it,
because you’ll get BBEdit 12.0 as a free upgrade when it
ships, and end up $10 ahead.
Information on how to upgrade to BBEdit 11 is here:
<https://www.barebones.com/store/bbedit_upgrades.html>.
We haven’t decided the precise cutoff date for free upgrades
from v11 to v12, and our longstanding tradition is to commit to
the date when we announce the upgrade is shipping.
That said, the date has traditionally not been less than three
months and has always been generally considered fair, to the
point of generous.
To you, the practical implication is that, whether an upgrade or
a new license, if you haven’t already purchased BBEdit 11, you
can do so today, knowing that you will get the BBEdit 12.0
upgrade for free.
I hope that clears up -- or provides a reminder about -- the
upgrade and pricing policy surrounding the upcoming BBEdit 12.
R.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.
