In August 2012, TextMate 2 source code has been published on GitHub under the terms of the GNU General Public License. A public alpha was made available for download on the TextMate blog in December 2011, but as of July 2012, a final version has yet to be released. In June 2009, TextMate 2 was announced to be in development and about 90 percent complete, but which features it would include wasn't disclosed. Throughout 2007, the core application changed only minimally, though its “language bundles” continued to advance. Those changes, however, have been slow to materialize. On 8 August 2006, TextMate was awarded the Apple Design Award for Best Developer Tool, at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, California, to “raucous applause.” In February 2006, the TextMate blog expressed intentions for future directions, including improved project management, with a plug-in system to support remote file systems such as FTP, and revision control systems such as Subversion. TextMate continued to develop through mid-2006. Reviews were positive, and many reviewers who had previously criticised the program now endorsed it. On 6 January 2006, Odgaard released TextMate 1.5, the first “stable release” since 1.0.2. In the series of TextMate 1.1 betas, TextMate gained features: a preferences window with a GUI for creating and editing themes a status bar with a symbol list menus for choosing language and tab settings, and a “bundle editor” for editing language-specific customizations. TextMate 1.0.2 came out on 10 December 2004. 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 decade-long dominance of BBEdit. At first only a small number of programming languages were supported, as only a few “language bundles” had been created.
The release focused on implementing a small feature set well, and did not have a preference window or a toolbar, didn’t integrate FTP, and had no options for printing. TextMate 1.0 came out on 5 October 2004, after 5 months of development, followed by version 1.0.1 on 21 October 2004. In 2004, Allan Odgaard began the development of TextMate.
