Hi all,
Continuing a practice started during BBEdit 8.5 maintenance, we're
making available a pre-release build of a maintenance update to
BBEdit 8.6.
Like the 8.6 and 8.6.1 updates before it, 8.6.2 will be a free
update to customers using BBEdit 8.5 or later. (Please note that
BBEdit 8.6 requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later; if you are using 10.3.9
or earlier, you will need to stick with BBEdit 8.5.2.)
Here's important information, carried over for the benefit of those who
haven't seen the beta announcements from previous updates:
Note that these are _pre-release_ versions. The intent is to fix
bugs and address areas of improvement based on what our customers
have reported. However, since the software is at this point not
fully tested, there _may_ be bugs and regressions. If this prospect
makes you nervous, then sticking with the public release versions is
your best course of action. Nobody will be offended if you choose to
do so; you're under no obligation to install and use anything but a
public release. :-)
Following is a summary of the changes in the software since the last
public release. The change notes are organized into additions,
changes, and fixes, and are annotated where appropriate with case
numbers. So if you recognize a number corresponding to a support
case that was opened for you, you can now verify that it's been
fixed correctly.
One final note: If you run into a bug in a pre-release version,
PLEASE DO NOT REPORT THE BUG TO THE LIST. This includes asking about
whether others have seen the same problem. Instead, please send a
bug report to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and we will deal with it
there. This will help us keep the list discussion on topic and
productive for all list members.
============================================================================
version 8.6.2b1 (187) (3/19/2007)
* BBEdit 8.6 requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later. If you're still using
10.3.9, BBEdit 8.5.2 is the most recent version you will be able to
run on your machine.

Fixes
-----
- Fixed bug in which certain control-key combinations would end
up being inserted into the editing window when used as menu
command equivalents. [74328]
- Fixed bug in which the Java function scanner didn't correctly
handle backslash escapes in strings. [74326]
- Fixed bug in which temporary files created for diffs (p4,
subversion cvs) were prematurely removed when multiple diff
operations were running. [73585]
- Fixed a class of bug in the CSS margin/padding/border editors
in which for given inputs they would incorrectly populate the
editor dialog and/or generate incorrect CSS when applying the
values. (This was most apparent when the rule set specified
properties/values for a single side of the box.) [66955]
- Fixed svn status parsing for non-english locales. [74494]
- Paths containing ; are now properly escaped when dropping into
a shell worksheet, or restoring the saved working directory.
[73735]
- Fixed regression: "Find in Reference" didn't do pydoc/perldoc lookups
in TextWrangler. [74808]
- In blockquotes spanning multiple lines in Markdown, the last
quote marker(s) is not colored as a keyword if the blockquote
falls near the end of the file. [74503]
- Fixed a bug where "Check Spelling as You Type" didn't correctly
handle contractions which used a smart apostrophe. [74875]
- Added border-top-style, border-right-style, border-bottom-style
and border-left-style to the list of property names for which
CSS Edit Tag can bring up an appropriate editor.
- Fixed a typo in the JavaScript keyword list: isNaN not isNan
[74790]
- When skipping over comment tokens (generally when seeking the
name of something for the function popup), skip #mark tokens as
well.
- Fixed a crash in the TeX scanner. [75090]
- Fixed some TeX rescan issues.
- When generating names for entries in the function popup in
Markdown files, make sure the names are at least one character
long.
- Added support for the TeX "sectioning" commands \paragraph and
\subparagraph. They work just like all of the other section-like
commands, but they are the lowest in the hierarchy. [73314]
- Fixed a regression where the factory default language mappings
for HTML/XML were incomplete. This resulted in among other
things, malfunctioning of the batch HTML updater, syntax checker
and link checker. [75377, 72604]
*** NOTE: To restore normal operation, you may need to use the
"Reset All" button in the Languages preferences to reload
the factory default suffix mappings. This will discard any
customizations you have made.
- Fix for "Compare Two Front Documents" not ordering the new/old
docs correctly. [76019]
- Fix for Codeless Language Modules where if a comment pattern
was specified but a string pattern was not, comments were
colored as strings.
- When using the "Make Backup Now..." command, the sheet that
drops down now points to the preferred backup directory. [73578,
74409]
- Fixed bug in which cancelling an "Open Counterpart" operation
was impossible. [73820, 74526, 74651]
- Fixed bug in which the password wasn't correctly looked up when
opening FTP/SFTP files from the Open Recent menu. [72628, 74182]
- "Save Default Window" now saves splitter position in browser
windows, and no longer works at cross purposes with auto-saved
positions. [62678, 73822]

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
