What's New
Version 3.5.3:

Fixes

  • Fixed a fistful of bugs which contributed to unnecessarily high memory utilization.
  • When importing service data, line breaks are now converted to the internal representation.
  • TextWrangler now advertises its ability to supply and accept service data as UTF-8 (as well as UTF-16 and plain Mac Roman text).
  • Fixed bug in which a multi-file or text factory Replace All would touch the file being processed, even if it contained no matches for the search string.
  • If "Make Writeable" fails because you have insufficient (non-elevated) privileges, TextWrangler will flag the file for authenticated saving instead of refusing to let you do anything. (Note: This does not apply to App Store versions of TextWrangler, which are not able to perform authenticated saves.)
  • Backtick strings (shell execution escapes) in PHP code are now colored as strings. (They are also treated as strings by the PHP function scanner, which won't have any visible effect but which maintains correctness.
  • Multi-line brace blocks and multi-line parenthetical expressions are now foldable in PHP code.
  • Backslashes are now correctly recognized as character escapes when computing color in Unix shell scripts.
  • Fixed hang which would occur when Find Differences encountered a directory for which the user didn't have read access.

I love this thing. I recently learned the basics of Java and decided to try other languages. With Text Wrangler, I've been able to try Perl, Python, and Shell Scripts--that's all I tried, it's not limited to these-- all in the same place. My only complaint is that when you select "Run in Terminal," it opens Terminal, then you have to Run in Terminal again. At least that's been my experience, not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Oh, and it's free. Simply awesome!

I learned HTML on this app, it was much more fun than the usual suspects. Although my usage has been basic, I have to say it is excellent and I recommend it to anyone who wants to write up auction pages or basic web pages. Thank you very much to the developers for making it free.

For files above a certain size (1 Megabyte and bigger) TextWrangler forgets SoftWrap when opening it. You always have to reactivate SoftWrap manually for those files. It's a bit annoying. With small files no problem. (SoftWrap is activated in Prefs).

Awesome app, every time I think 'hmmm... I wonder if it has X feature' it usually does. Only down-side I've found is if you leave it connected to SFTP sites for too long it can start chewing the CPU.

Downloaded this new version and it works as advertised.

Very speedy too.
