“BBEdit 8.7.2 Released Today”

Bare Bones just released version 8.7.2 of BBEdit. This is a free maintenance update for anyone who owns a license to 8.5 or newer. Here are the release notes.

I had a small hand in this update. In the release notes is a list of fixed bugs, two of which are mine:

• Fixed bug in which TeX syntax coloring would get out of whack if "Color Math Strings" was turned off and the scanner encountered certain constructs in the document.

• Fixed bug in which the JavaScript function scanner could crash on certain malformed (usually because of in-progress edits) constructs.

There's lots more good stuff in store (way more than just bug fixes!), but some of the fixes in this release needed to get into people's hands sooner than later.
