Good { morning, afternoon, evening },
We are pleased to announce the release and immediate
availability of BBEdit 13.0. This major upgrade adds over a
hundred new features, improvements to existing features, and
minor refinements.
Here are the high points, excerpted from the "What's New in
BBEdit 13" page at <https://www.barebones.com/>.
* Pattern Playgrounds - The "Pattern Playground" window provides
an interactive interface for experimenting with the
behavior of
Grep patterns (regular expressions). This makes the process of
creating complicated patterns much less trial-and-error, since
you can see exactly what will match, and how, before committing
to any irreversible actions.
* Grep Cheat Sheet - The Grep Cheat Sheet provides quick
access to
many common regular expression idioms as well as brief
descriptions. It's great not only for learning how to write
regular expression ("grep") patterns, but also for experienced
Grep users. The Cheat Sheet is available in places where you
commonly write Grep patterns: the Find, Multi-File Search, and
Pattern Playground windows; as well as in the "Process Lines
Containing", "Process Duplicates", and "Sort Lines" dialog boxes.
* Improved Dark Mode support and appearance switching - BBEdit 13
can automatically follow the system appearance (works great with
macOS Catalina's automatic Dark Mode switching), or you can have
BBEdit's appearance always be dark (or light). Set separate color
schemes for each appearance mode, and they change automatically!
* Live searching from the Find window - As you edit your search
string and options in the Find window, BBEdit will automatically
highlight matches in the editing window right behind.
* Apply Text Transform - Use this command to quickly apply any
transformation from the Text menu to multiple files or folders.
* The "Commands" Command - This was added in BBEdit 12.5, but it's
too cool _not_ to mention it again here. This panel gives you
quick keyboard access to any available menu command in BBEdit.
Use a handy keyboard equivalent (Command-Shift-U, or set your
own) and get a panel showing every available menu command.
Type a
few characters and quickly get down to the menu command, recent
file, clipping, script or text filter you're looking for. Hit
Enter or return, and you're off to the races.
We encourage you to read the complete change notes for BBEdit
13.0:
<https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/notes-13.0.html>. (We
spent a lot of time writing those notes, so it would be great
for someone to read them. Be that someone.)
Here are some key details on pricing and upgrades for BBEdit 13:
* The price for a single new license remains at US$49.99.
* If you purchased BBEdit 12 *directly from us* on or after
May 1,
2019, you are eligible for a free upgrade.
We will be sending email to all eligible registered
customers by
Tuesday, October 15, 2019. Thank you for your patience. :-)
Meanwhile you can certainly use BBEdit 13 in evaluation
mode until
your new serial number arrives.
* BBEdit 12 customers who purchased between the original 12.0 release
date of October 12, 2017 and the free-upgrade cutoff date
of April
30, 2019 can upgrade for US$29.99.
* Registered customers of older BBEdit versions (2.5 through 11.6.8,
inclusive) can upgrade for US$39.99.
* BBEdit 13 is in the Mac App Store(*). If you have an active
subscription, you will have immediate access to all of
BBEdit 13's
advanced features. (* At this writing, the store reports
that BBEdit
13 is "Ready for Sale", so if you don't see it, wait a
while and
check back.)
* If you have been using BBEdit 11 or 12 in Free Mode, BBEdit
13 will
reset your evaluation period, and you will have a full 30
days in
which to try out all of BBEdit 13's new features. After 30 days,
BBEdit 13 will return to Free Mode.

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