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

* [351242] Fixed bug in which folders in Zip archives were drawn
with the wrong icon in disk browser windows.
* Fixed a bug in which project window sidebar lists would leak
icon memory sometimes.
* [348625] Fixed bug in which disk browsers did not allow you to
navigate to the top level (where all mounted volumes are shown
and angels cavort amongst fluffy clouds).
* [351204] Fixed case in which the application would not allow you
to quit (and report a -43 error) in cases where an open
document's backing file was no longer available, either because
the file had been deleted or because the remote volume on which
the file was stored got unmounted.
* [351311] Armorplated the site of a reported crash.
* [350043, 351349] Made a change to reduce the overhead involved
in scripted text transformation options that may prevent a modal
progress box. This will improve the overall performance of
scripts that involve a large number of such operations,
especially in cases where the actual amount of time
required for
each transformation is small relative to the run time of the
script.
* [350317, 350393, 350559] Fixed a bug in which "open file"
requests from external applications would come into the
application along a path which discarded important information,
which would cause "Edit in BBEdit" operations from external
applications (most commonly file transfer clients) to behave
incorrectly (local backing file path would be displayed instead
of the remote location, and changes to the file were not reported
to the client for uploading).
* Made changes to fix a collection of bugs which would prevent
singleton window positions (such as palettes) from being restored
correctly.
**Note:** As a necessary result of this change, previous saved
positions for various palettes are not used, so you may
have to
reposition those palettes if they don't open where you
expect them
to. "Management regrets the inconvenience."
* [350763] Fixed bug in which using "Move to New Window" for
multiple selected documents would leave the window with a "stale"
title.
*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 <[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.
The package can be downloaded from our web server:

Enjoy,
Rich Siegel
