Good afternoon folks,
We're currently working on a feature update to BBEdit 12, which
includes a number of new features, as well as fixes for recently
reported issues.
Testing is currently underway, and we have a stable pre-release
version ready for use.
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. :-)
Complete change notes to date for all the pre-release builds in
this cycle are available here:
<https://s3.amazonaws.com/BBSW-download/12.1_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.

Fixes

* [NFR] Fixed regression in which the command-line tool install
prompt would misreport version numbers.
* [NFR] [351216] Fixed regression in which the default sidebar
split proportion in project windows (saved via Save Default
Window) was not properly applied when creating a new
project or
opening a folder as a project.
* The `bbedit` tool now allows `txmt:` URLs to be supplied as
arguments to be opened.
* If the system Trackpad preferences are set appropriately, a
Force Click on a word in a text view will now look it up using
the Dictionary popup.
* Updated the built-in `cmark` tool to the current version
(0.28.3, at this writing).
* The Markdown scanner now allows spaces (but not tabs or line
breaks) in URLs that are enclosed in parentheses.
* [351042] Fixed bug in which certain terms used as
identifiers in
Lua would confuse the function scanner.
* [347093] Made a change to the policy for which elements are
considered by the Markup Builder, which addresses cases in which
unexpected suggestions were made (such as when trying to populate
a list element).
* Made changes to significantly improve file I/O performance when
opening and saving text documents of nontrivial size.
* [351177] Made a change so that undoing a "Duplicate Lines"
operation selects the text that was previously selected.
* [341279] The Python function menu now includes items for
callouts (`FIXME`, `TODO`, `REVIEW`, `???`, `!!!`, and `NOTE`).
* [351208] Fixed bug in which it was possible to run a filter from
the Text Filters palette when no eligible editing view was
available, which would cause a crash.
* [351206] Fixed crash which would occur when inserting text as
the result of dictation or other non-keyboard input events.
* If you wish, you may adjust the size of the search history for
the Find/Multi-File Search windows:
`defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
FindAndReplaceHistorySize -int [some number]`
A minimum history size of 2 is enforced. Setting the
history to zero makes it infinite.
* [351239] Fixed bug in which "Save to FTP/SFTP Server" would log
in to the remote root directory instead of the default login
directory in cases where the "Path" field was left blank.
*fin*
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 <supp...@barebones.com> and we will deal
with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on
topic and productive for all list members.
The package can be downloaded from our web server:

Enjoy,
Rich Siegel
