The new release includes the following enhancements:

• introduces built-in support for the Lua programming language, brings significant improvements to the File Groups and Disk Browser workflow features, and powers the use of Finder(tm) Smart Folders as sources for Text Factory and for multi-file search operations.
• can now remember the open documents upon quitting and reopen the identical documents upon subsequent launch. This new "Reopen documents that were open at last quit" application preference, when turned on, automatically also includes remembering disk browsers and FTP/SFTP browsers which were open at last quit Ed. -- finally!]
• other notable revisions include an all-new Python language module which supports code folding, significant refinements to FTP/SFTP and Disk Browser windows, AppleScript improvements, and many others. BBEdit 8.7 also includes fixes for reported issues and adds several minor enhancements and other refinements to this award-winning HTML and text editor.
