Bare Bones Software today released BBEdit 8.2, the latest version of the award-winning HTML and text editor. Version 8.2 now includes support for Automator, the new personal automation assistant in Mac OS X Tiger that simplifies repetitive or time-consuming tasks. BBEdit 8.2 provides customers running Tiger with integrated Automator Actions that facilitate the incorporation of BBEdit's text processing abilities into any Automator multi-application workflow.

"The Automator support in BBEdit 8.2 makes BBEdit's legendary text transformation power available for an even wider variety of tasks. Automator is an amazing technology, and we're excited to welcome it to the party."
