TextWrangler 4.0: Now even better, still free

The good folks over at Bare Bones Software have just released version 4.0 of their classic and free text editor for Mac OS X, TextWrangler. I talked with Bare Bones head wrangler Rich Siegel a few weeks ago about what was set to come out, and the company has basically added a lot of great new features to a classic app. Siegel noted that the previous version of the app pre-dates OS X Lion, so it needed a bit of refreshing. TextWrangler 4.0 works only on Intel-based Macs running OS X 10.6 and later. They'll be shipping the new version through the Mac App Store and the Bare Bones site -- Siegel said they'd prefer to be shipping only through their own store, as the App Store tends to "isolate the customer from the developer." Under the hood, Siegel says the new version of TextWrangler has all of the major performance improvements that were built into BBEdit 10. You can now search and read text compressed inside of zip files -- to modify those text files, you'll still need BBEdit 10. Rich also noted that BBEdit is coming up on a whopping 20 years of life as a Mac app -- that's an incredible run for a Mac developer. Check out the press release below for further details on the goodies available in TextWrangler 4.0. Show full PR text Bare Bones Software Releases TextWrangler 4.0
