Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. TextMate is a general-purpose GUI text editor for Mac OS X created by Allan Odgaard. Popular with programmers, some notable features include declarative customizations, tabs for open documents, recordable macros, folding sections and snippets, shell integration, and an extensible bundle system.In 2004, Allan Odgaard began the development of TextMate. TextMate 1.0 came out on 5 October 2004, after 5 months of development, followed by version 1.0.1 on 21 October 2004. The release focused on implementing a small feature set well, and did not have a preference window or a toolbar, didn't integrate FTP like BBEdit does, and had no options for printing. At the beginning only a small number of programming languages were supported, as only a few "language bundles" had been created. Despite all that, some developers found this early and incomplete version of TextMate a welcome change to a market that was considered stagnated by the dominance of BBEdit.
