Bare Bones Software Releases BBEdit 12.6
88 Changes to Improve Quality-of-life and Add Sandboxing for Future Participation in the Mac App Store
NORTH CHELMSFORD, Mass. – February 25, 2019 – Bare Bones Software today announced the release and immediate availability of BBEdit® 12.6, a significant update to its professional strength text and code editor.
The BBEdit 12.6 update includes 88 discrete additions, changes and fixes addressing all manner of ‘quality of life’ issues from improved performance to UI refinement. In addition, BBEdit 12.6 introduces architectural changes for compatibility with macOS App Sandboxing, a set of security policies and practices put forth by Apple. The App Sandboxing model endeavors to ensure privacy and data security for macOS users, and serves as a requirement for BBEdit’s participation in the Mac App Store.
“App Sandboxing brings real and valuable benefits, but as users of an advanced developer tool, our customers frequently push the security model to its limits,” said Rich Siegel, founder and CEO of Bare Bones Software, Inc. “I’m proud that we’ve been able to make BBEdit work within the limits imposed by the App Sandboxing model, while preserving the performance and user experience that our customers expect.”
BBEdit 12.6 also includes enhancements and refinements to existing features, and fixes for specific reported issues, and is a recommended and free update to all registered customers with BBEdit 12.
BBEdit offers a generous evaluation model in which its full feature set is available for the first 30 days of use. At the end of the 30-day evaluation period, BBEdit will continue to run with a permanent feature set which includes its powerful editing capabilities, but not its web authoring tools or other exclusive features. BBEdit’s exclusive features may be re-enabled at any time with a purchased license.
BBEdit 12 requires macOS 10.12.6 or later, and is fully compatible with macOS 10.14 “Mojave.” Detailed information on all of the changes in BBEdit 12.6 can be found at:
