Bare Bones Software has released BBEdit 15.5.5, working around a bug in macOS 26 Tahoe that would cause intermittent spinning beach ball stalls (something that was particularly vexing for this BBEdit user). The venerable text editor also adds an option for a case-insensitive diff, addresses misbehavior and crashes when processing a large quantity of diverse HTML documents, resolves a crash that would occur when opening HTML files with extremely large inline attribute values, makes some improvements and corrections to the internal behavior of Collect Diagnostic Data, and ensures the link checker no longer reports an error when the empty fragment (#) is used as a link target. ($59.99 new, free update, 28 MB, release notes, macOS 12+)
