TextMate 2.1.3-undead

2026-06-11 (v2.1.3-undead)

Bugfix release: the app no longer talks to the metered GitHub API at all, fixing update checks that failed around the clock on networks whose unauthenticated quota (60 requests/hour per IP, shared by every tool on the network) was exhausted (#26). See all changes since v2.1.2-undead.

Software Update

• Update checks can no longer be rate-limited. The update feed moved from the GitHub Releases API to git's smart-HTTP ref advertisement — the same unmetered endpoint git ls-remote reads. The newest refs/tags/v* tag is the latest version (the beta channel includes -beta tags, release skips them) and the download URL follows the release asset convention. (#27, c355ab70)
• Errors now say what went wrong. A rate-limited network reports “GitHub API rate limit reached for this network. Try again after ⟨reset time⟩.” instead of “Incomplete server response.”; other server errors surface the server's own message, and an unexpected content type (e.g. a captive portal) names itself. (#27, c355ab70)

Bundles

• Bundle updates no longer spend API quota. Ref-to-SHA resolution uses the same unmetered ref advertisement instead of one Releases-API call per bundle per poll, so a busy network can no longer starve bundle updates either. (#27, c355ab70)
