Good { morning, afternoon, evening },
We're working on a major upgrade to BBEdit, and have decided to
make a pre-release version available to the BBEdit-Talk
discussion group.
*** Please note that 12.0 is not an automatic free upgrade. Your
license code for BBEdit 11 or older will not work, but you
should have no difficulty using BBEdit 12 in evaluation mode for
the duration of the standard 30-day evaluation period.
*** If you purchased BBEdit 11 very recently, or are about to do
so, there is no cause for alarm - we will announce free-upgrade
details and send license codes to eligible customers when the
new version is released.
*** You can use BBEdit 11.6.8 and 12.0 side-by-side for the
duration of the beta period, if you wish. (This is actually a
good idea, since you can cross-check any problems against the
old version while writing up a bug report.)
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 changes since the most recent
pre-release build. Complete change notes for all of the
pre-release builds in this cycle are available here: <https://s3.amazonaws.com/BBSW-download/12.0_Notes.txt>.
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 -- 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.

Fixes
-----
* [344994] Fixed bug in which various parts of the UI which
depended on folder listings (scripts/filters/clippings,
counterparts, and such like) would list items out of order on
APFS volumes and other non-HFS file systems (in which directory
enumeration order was not necessary sorted by name).
* [NFR] [344791] Put some armorplating in to guard against a
reported "this makes no sense" crash log.
* [NFR] [344789] Fixed regression in which Command-period would
not cancel a command in progress in a Shell Worksheet.
* [NFR] [342737] Fixed regression in which undesired live
searching would occur when switching documents while the Live
Search box was open and had something in it.
* [NFR] [344895] Fixed bug in which the selection range in FTP
browser windows was not correctly adjusted when deleting items.
* [NFR] Fixed regression in which the insertion point would appear
to be stuck (on or off) after a drag-and-drop operation.
* [NFR] [344946] Fixed bug in which the active text view would
have keyboard focus taken away from it when clicking in the
sidebar to close a different document.
* [NFR] Fixed crash which would occur when trying to perform a
column operation on a document in which additional columns
appeared after the first line.
* [NFR] Made a change which might reduce the quantity of crash
logs generated during drag-and-drop operations.
* [340860] Fixed bug in which git-ignore file filtering in
projects wouldn't work correctly when the project was not
in the
same git repository as the folders being processed (or
wasn't in
a git repo at all).
* [NFR] [345018] Fixed bug in which some commands were
inappropriately available on the contextual menu in disk browsers
for Zip and tar archives; some of these commands would
cause a
crash when used.
* [NFR] [345037] Fixed crash which would occur when trying to
apply "Simple Menus" in the Menus & Shortcuts preferences.
* [NFR] Fixed bug in which a non-localized placeholder string was
shown sometimes in disk browsers and results browsers.
