Hi all,
We're in the process of preparing a maintenance update for
BBEdit 8.7. As with previous maintenance update releases in
recent history :-), we're going to post notification of the new
versions to this list, so that anyone who's interested can take
the new build for a spin.
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.

encountered certain constructs in the document.

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