- Introduction
- ------------
-
- This file provides information on how to update your copy of BBEdit,
- version 2.5, to the current (2.5.2) maintenance release.
-
- • NOTE: Since the updater application modifies your copy of BBEdit,
- you should not use it on your original BBEdit distribution disks.
-
- This updater is for use only by owners of the 2.5 release of
- BBEdit. It cannot be used to update a demo, beta, or freeware
- version of BBEdit.
-
- Packing List
- ------- ----
-
- This updater package includes:
-
- - “Read Me”: this document;
-
- - “BBEdit 2.5->2.5.2 Updater”: the application to update
- your copy of BBEdit.
-
- - “2.5.2 Release Notes”: information on improvements in the
- new version.
-
- - “Updated Extensions”: a folder which contains updated
- versions of some of the standard extensions that ship
- with BBEdit.
-
- Installing the Update
- ---------- --- ------
-
- 0. Make sure you’re using an unmodified, non-beta, non-demo copy of
- BBEdit 2.5.1. If necessary, make a new copy from your original
- distribution disk. If you have installed PopupFuncs, then you’ve
- modified your copy, so you’ll need to get a fresh copy of BBEdit
- before proceeding, and you’ll need to reinstall PopupFuncs after
- you’ve updated BBEdit.
-
- 1. Double-click on the “BBEdit 2.5->2.5.2 Updater” application.
-
- 2. A dialog will come up, asking you to designate the copy of BBEdit
- you’d like to update. Select your old copy of BBEdit, and click
- the “Update” button.
-
- 3. A dialog will come up, asking you where to place the updated
- BBEdit. Choose the desired location, and click the “Save” button.
-
- 4. The updater will complete its operation automatically. When it’s
- done, you should discard the old version of BBEdit. It’s no longer
- needed, and having multiple similar copies of an application on
- your machine will confuse the FInder.
-
- 5. Drag the contents of the “Updated Extensions” folder into your
- BBEdit Extensions folder, if you have one. If you’re not using
- any extensions, you can skip this step.
-
- 6. Read the “2.5.2 Release Notes” for information on what’s new and
- improved in this maintenance version.
-
- If you have difficulty installing the update, or would like a floppy
- disk that contains this updater, contact us for information
- or assistance at one of the addresses below.
-
- Thanks for your continued support of BBEdit.
