TextMate 2.0 Alpha is Now Available for Download

MacroMates has announced the alpha release of TextMate 2.0. TextMate is popular Mac editor for the production of code and markup and there has been a lot of anticipation for this update.

It's important to stress though that being an alpha release; it is not complete. It has reached a point where it may suit some early adopters and provide some relief to those who have been questioning TextMate's future. For the time being, the alpha builds are only for people who already have a TextMate license and an Intel Mac.

Notable Changes:
● Split views: Yes, I actually had this on the alpha milestone, I'm not overly excited about this feature myself, but I know it's a very common request, so eventually it should find its way into the application.
● Full screen mode: This is mainly because we are hesitant to go Lion-only so we are holding back with "lionizing" TextMate till we feel confident we can fully drop backwards compatibility.
● Performance: Overall performance is fine, but there are still edge-cases that we haven't looked into, for example the long lines issue which also exists in 1.x or opening files that exhaust TextMate's memory space.
● Bundle editor: While a proof-of-concept bundle editor is included, it is provisional, has some flaws, and not how we envision the final bundle editor to be.
● Settings: Not everything in the Preferences window has an effect at the moment and several menu settings are not sticky, some even revert when switching tabs. Those can be set via .tm_properties - more about this in an upcoming post.
