Most importantly in this update is the switch from the PHP port of Dean Edwards’ Packer v2 to the PackR, ruby port, of Packer v3. Additionally Base62 encoding has been removed from the default command, it turns out that Base62 is the part of Packer that makes gzipping less efficient than the YUI! Compressor. So unless you’re not gzipping your scripts or just really really want Base62 encoding you’ll be better off leaving it as is. However, thanks to good idea from Thomas Aylott, you still have the option to turn it on by simply adding a new shell variable called TM_JST_PB62 and setting the value to true, refer to section 9.2, Static Variables, in the TextMate manual for help setting it up.

Of lesser importance are some standard maintenance tasks, like updating the Dojo Toolkit build of Rhino to the latest and an overhaul of the Help contents to, hopefully, be more helpful.

Until Bundleforge is actually ready to go for real just use a version from github, Thomas Aylott’s we’ll call official and mine, you can call whatever you like. (If you don’t use git you can hit the Download button up near the project name to just grab a tarball)
