Good { morning, afternoon, evening },
The 10.5 public beta's rolling right along -- thanks to everyone
who's taken the time to try it out and let us know how it's
working, for better or for worse. :-)
A new build is available, with an assortment of fixes for things
that turned up in the previous beta release. (For more
information about the previous release, please see the post at
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/WdaxtzHFaLo/CdY9xa_cv9IJ>.)
Most of these correspond to fixes and changes to work in
progress; but as always there are also fixes for bugs in what's
currently in general release.
Note that this is a _pre-release_ version. 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
previous build. 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. Please take the time to review the
changes before using the new build -- there are a lot of them,
and it'll be worth your time.
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 10.5 (3235) (11/19/2012)
*** The system requirements for BBEdit have changed with version 10.
Mac OS X 10.6 is now required (10.6.8 or later recommended).
*** BBEdit 10.5 contains extensive internal rework; the primary goal
is to achieve proper appearance on Macs with the high-resolution
"Retina" displays, but the opportunity was also taken to remove
unnecessary code, add some features, and to effect various
cosmetic and usability improvements.
Additions
---------
* [DOC] [254364] Live preview windows now remember your Preview
Filter selection per-document. In addition, the preview filter
will default to one named "`DefaultPreviewFilter_<langaugename>`"
in your `Application Support/BBEdit/Preview Filters/`
folder. Unlike
default preview templates and CSS, the filename extension
of the preview
filter is not significant; so the following examples will
all work:
* `DefaultPreviewFilter_Markdown.pl` (a Perl script)
* `DefaultPreviewFilter_Markdown.scpt` (an AppleScript)
* `DefaultPreviewFilter_Markdown` (a compiled executable)
The default preview filter can also be a symlink or alias
to a
filter elsewhere.
Changes

o (none in this build)
Fixes
-----
* [NFR] [254361] Fixed bug in which opening from FTP/SFTP would
sometimes fail with a -4960 error on 10.6.x systems.
* [NFR] [254438] Fixed case in which the list of attributes
previously used in the markup panel for a given tag could be
written out with a missing value, which would subsequently
trigger an internal exception and resulting malfunction when
using the panel for that tag.
* [NFR] [254434] Fixed a regression in which items from the
current manually selected clipping set were not available for
completion.
