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:

The "Open in Additional Window" command (in the View menu) is now available in browser windows.
Project documents now track the visibility of the toolbar with the rest of the UI state.
Fixed a bug where results windows weren't correctly re-used if they were displaying a document.
Fixed a bug where automatic language switching via pasting incorrectly set the "manually set" flag to true, which prevented automatic language switching for untitled documents at save time.
Fixed a bug where text completion didn't work correctly in the INI File langauage module.
Predefined names are now completed in a case insensitive fashion (which makes them consistent with the rest of the completion sources).
Fixed a bug where codeless language modules didn't complete from the provided BBLMPredefinedNameList.
Fixed a bug where double-clicking a document in the Finder would inappropriately open it in a project window with a closed editor if that project window was frontmost.
Fixed a bug where opening multiple files from a project window with the attached editor closed ignored the document handling pref and opened the documents grouped in a multi-document window.
Fixed a regression where double clicking on a file in a disk browser didn't open the file in the first z-ordered text window (spawned a new window) if the multi-document window pref was enabled.
Starting a search with Return/Enter will select all the text in the focused text view when using the modeless find windows.
The "wrap around" indicator is less aggressive about when it appears; it will appear for wrap around searches with a positive result, but will be suppressed for the not found case. (In that case, you'll get a beep or the usual not found visual indicator.)
Fixed a bug where the "wrap around" indicator always appeared on the main screen.
Fixed a bug where the current line highlight was inappropriately used in the find dialog text fields.
Fixed a bug where "Open in Additional Window" incorrectly cleared the undo stack for the document.
Fixed a regression where piping to BBEdit didn't mark the new document as dirty.
Moved the "Other..." button in the Find Multiple window to the top of its button stack.
Fixed a bug where the text completion panel could, in certain situations, "chase" you across the page as you typed rather than auto dismiss once you typed off the range of text being completed.
Removed the "Create New Document" checkbox from the New HTML Document dialog.
Fixed a situation where the completion panel could appear inappropriately after a save event.
Stationery menu and palette changes:
files without the stationery bit are no longer listed
stationery files with no HFS type but a suitable filename extension appear, as they should
Attempting to save a document as stationery no longer results in an Apple Event error.
When computing completions from the front document's contents, BBEdit will not offer results consisting entirely of decimal digits (0-9). When computing completions from ctags, predefined names, or the system dictionary, BBEdit will not attempt to complete partial names consisting entirely of decimal digits (0-9).
Fixed a bug which caused the textual description of a difference pair to always be "Changed lines" instead of sometimes being "Extra lines"
Corrections to the line ranges array generation for the diff tool.
Fixed bug in which the license panel was displayed when bringing the app to the front after having previously entered a serial number.
Small cosmetic change to the progress window for multi-file search and text factory execution.
Corrected missing preferences help search keys.
Fixed a bug which caused the Software Update preference to be read, but never written.
Fixed a regression which made preferences searching case sensitive
Preserve case when reporting an attribute value case error in the XHTML syntax checker.
Improved the behavior of Save/Copy as Styled HTML/Styled Text when using custom text color preferences with a non-white background.
Codeless Language Modules now suppress the spelling dictionary as a completion source outside of strings or comments. (This matches the default behavior for the built-in languages.)
Adjusted the layout/border metrics of the text document accessory view for the save panel.
Fixed a crash which could occur when closing a document with certain input methods active, or the typography panel open.
Fixed a crash which would occur when changing the clipping set if a floating window (such as Insert Clipping) had keyboard focus.
Fixed a performance problem while typing in large HTML files due to overhead from the HTML function parser, plus misc. other problems.
Fixed a crash which could occur when invoking Tag Maker at the top level of a document with a synthetic root element (via #bbpragma.)
Fixed bug which could cause noticeable lags when working with documents on extremely high-latency file systems (like sshfs or MacFUSE/ssh).
Fixed a crash doing Find Definition with no selected text.
Fixed crash which would occur when trying to autocomplete using ctags on Mac OS X 10.4.x.
Fixed crash with nested save panel invocations for the same document.
Fixed bug in which syntax coloring in ActionScript documents would get out of whack during editing.
Fixed hang in the Ruby module when presented with incomplete interpretive string blocks.
Fixed bug in which syntax coloring in VBScript inside of HTML documents would get out of whack during editing.
Fixed bug in which a certain sequence of selection/deselection in a multi-file Find Differences results window would cause BBEdit to start opening up disk browsers.
Fixed bug in which name-based file filters would fail if the file's name contained characters that couldn't be mapped to a single-byte representation in the application's text encoding.
Fixed bug in which the items in Saved Search Sources didn't appear in the summary when doing a multi-file search, nor were they applied when starting the search.
Fixed bug in which SFTP connections to certain servers would fail and report a 22807 error.
Fixed bug which rendered Application Support folder syncing nonfunctional.

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.
