Whats new in version 1.5.11 R1635:

Publisher review:TextMate brings Apple's approach to operating systems into the world of text editors. By bridging UNIX underpinnings and GUI, TextMate cherry-picks the best of both worlds to the benefit of expert scripters and novice users alike.

Operating system:Mac OS X 10.4.2 or later
