BBEdit 9.2
BBEdit 9.2 is a nice update:
- It eliminates the need for my New Terminal for Window and New Disk Browser for Window scripts.
- It’s much better about remembering and autosaving application state.
- The bbedit --maketags command is much easier than invoking ctags directly.
- The syntax highlighter now recognizes numbers.
- The Open Recent menu now remembers folders and groups recent files by type.
- Disk browsers can now browse tarballs.

Regarding the syntax highlighting of numbers: this had to be done on a language-by-language basis because they all use slightly different syntax for numeric literals. That wasn't the original plan.
Even Python — the easiest langague to parse I've ever run into — is a little weird with the built-in support for imaginary numbers. (Ruby's support for underscores in numbers was the weirdest of all, though that isn't surprising.)
