Developers text editor for Mac OS, TextMate, promised begin open beta testing of its version 2.0 to the Catholic Christmas. However, the time is coming, and now is ready only the alpha version of TextMate 2.0, which is proposed to the approbation of the owners of the license application options.
Loyal users do not get bored, learning new features of your favorite program. Detractors also have to calm down. They are, after all, had already begun to doubt whether it will update stated. So, at the moment comers, who have the license and TextMate Mac computer with an Intel processor on board, can get access to the alpha version of TextMate 2.0 r8930 assembly.
This version of the application also can be said to be very "raw" and many of the previously announced features in it, report developers. So, TextMate 2.0 does not support split-screen mode and full screen. (Regarding the latter especially, the creators of TextMate just have not decided yet whether it makes sense to adapt totally a word processor just under Lion.)
Overall performance, though quite decent, still needs to be improved. One of the main features - expansion packs - still requires significant improvements, although It is present in the alpha version of TextMate 2.0. Finally, the configuration system is not yet functioning fully correctly. Some options can be set turns off automatically during program run.
Of course, in a short time the developers will bring to its logical TextMate 2.0 project completion, and improve the current alpha version of defects. The main thing is that the users can already start testing the completely rewritten and improved application. But a public beta test should significantly accelerate the process of catching bugs.
