TM2 is no longer being actively developed. Allan apparently can't afford to keep his customers happy any longer, even after charging $65 per lisense. He needs to stop "tending to the community" and just write TextMate 2 already. We're all tired of your excuses. Sick. And. Tired. It's been 5 years, Allan. 5 fucking years. If you're never going to release it, you might as well be honest about it.

No, according to this blog post, TM2 will only run on Leopard. Since the development of TM2 has lasted through the entire duration of Leopard's official lifespan, you can now simply upgrade to Snow Leopard and free yourself from thinking about TextMate!

Q: How come I can edit this page?
Because it is a wiki! p.s. Any idea when v2 will be out? :P
Q: I know it's always asked, when is version 2.0 coming, 1.5 is stale and I feel like using BBEdit, though I suppose it doesn't matter now, you have my money. To be honest, I'll even take a version in in alpha.
Enroll in a remedial English class. Immediately.
Q: Can we expect smarter indentation (like emacs)?
Notice above where it says "Please do not post unanswered questions here, as the developer will not address them." This is what they were talking about.

[...] there is no ETA, and I won’t speak about timing before I am certain I can provide an (alpha/beta) release within the next month -- because really, the more I say, the more people ask, and having to answer the same questions over and over again is (for me) mentally exhausting.
So put TM 2.0 up there with Duke Nukem Forever and be positively surprised the day it is released :)
