Product Description:

BBEdit is a high-performance HTML and text editor for the Macintosh. It is designed and crafted for the editing, searching, transformation, and manipulation of text. BBEdit provides an array of general-purpose features which are useful for a wide variety of tasks, and includes many features which have been specifically developed in response to the needs of Web authors and software developers.

What's new in this version:

Added #! based language guessing to the Lua language module.
If the document's on-disk encoding is set to use UTF-8 with a BOM, and the document also contains an explicit character set declaration of "utf-8" (which implicitly does not include a BOM), BBEdit no longer displays an "encoding mismatch" alert. (In general, you shouldn't save documents this way, though most modern software and user agents should recognize a UTF-8 BOM.)
Fixed typo in control title in the Text Printing section of the print dialog.
Fixed POD errors in the bbfind man page.
Fixed a bug where the first group of results in a search results list were sometimes inappropriately collapsed.
Fixed a couple of bugs related to insta-projects: "Open File by Name" would report -43 if the front project were an insta-project, and opening a document directly would not open into an insta-project's window when it should have.
When creating a temporary project for a folder 'odoc', the top level node is expanded automatically.
Command-D works in the "confirm save" sheet for insta-projects (on those occasions when it's necessary).
Fixed regression which caused bundle tool floaters (e.g. TextSoap) to appear in the Tools menu but not run when selected.
Restored previous behavior of "Compare Two Front Documents".
Refined the file filtering for multi-file Find Differences so that files' contents are inspected to help determine if the file is a text file. Restored the previous UI behavior so that if a file appears in the "In Both" list, selecting on it causes a comparison, even if the file isn't text.
Clicks on a disclosure triangle in a hierarchical list are never treated as a double-click.
Layout change to confirm-close sheet for projects.
Fixed bug in which "New HTML Document" did not create the document in the front project's window when it should have.
Fixed performance regression in case-insensitive Replace All involving single characters (which also affected Change Case).
Worked around bug in SMB client on Mac OS X 10.4.x which would randomly trigger a "this file has been modified" warning when saving documents on SMB volumes.
Removed the overly strict test for OSA script files in the #script# glossary token expansion, which prevented shebang files from being used.
Restored a workaround for a bug in the SMB client on Mac OS X 10.4.x which would cause a -36 error to be reported when saving an empty text file.
Fixed a bug where accessing the properties of a project item via the scripting interface failed.

Not sure what ftp issues were present in earlier versions, but I have no problems with working with BBEdit's ftp functions, although I typically use Interarchy for ftp.

When I need to get something done, and done quickly, BBEdit always comes through. I've tried out others, but BBEdit is the strongest and most comprehensive tool I've found.

OK, this is my first NEGATIVE report on BBEdit.
The FTP client is really really buggy!

If you work with a document opened via FTP, every time you save your work BBEdit open a new connection, not closing the ones already it opened.
So it happens that my server, which supports max 50 connections, after a few minutes of work stop accepting my savings.

And there's more and more.

Now reverting to 9.02, which I did not removed from my backups!

Wow -- this is my first negative experience with a BBEdit update in a very long time. They've completely watered down -- oh, make that 'Mac-like' -- the ftp preferences. No longer can I choose what kind of protocol. BBEdit conveniently chooses for me regardless.

And in doing so, they've crippled BBEdit. I can no longer log into webstar servers or other older ftp servers directly. BBEdit appears to log in successfully, but sends erroneous commands and cannot list files or directories.

Support requests to Barebones have gone without reply to date. I'll go back to 9.0.2 to be able to get my work done.

sad.
