Good morning folks,
We're currently working on another maintenance update to BBEdit
12 to address a few recently reported issues.
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/12.1.3_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.
Here is the list of changes made since the last public release:
============================================================================
version 12.1.3 (410051) (2018-03-22)
Additions
---------
o (none in this build)
Changes
-------
* [DOC] Made a change to remove the feature in which holding a
modifier key down while choosing an item from the Scripts or
Filters or Clippings menu would perform alternative operations
(such as Reveal in Finder or Edit).
Although this was occasionally convenient, it was magical
and thus
not easily discovered; and in the New World Order it tended to
misfire while using keyboard equivalents for those items.
You can
still perform the same operations using the appropriate
palette, via
the toolbar buttons. (Right-click in the toolbar and use "Customize
Toolbar" as desired.)
* [DOC] The "Edit..." button in the toolbar for folder-backed
palettes (Scripts, Filters, Clippings) has received an
ellipsisectomy.
Fixes
-----
* Fixed a small memory leak.
* Fixed a memory leak and a latent bug in the list of search
sources used in the Multi-File Search window.
* [353381] Restored "Quick Look" in disk browsers and project
windows to working order.
* In cases where a progress window needs to be interrupted for a
modal alert (usually when connecting via sftp), switch off window
animations and delay the return of the progress bar for a
smoother experience.
* [353454] Fixed a bug in which file locator provided by external
"open file" requests were not "standardized", which could
lead to
situations in which locators which indicated the same item via
different paths were not treated as equivalent; and fixed the
case in the `bbedit` tool which triggered the initial report.
* [353031] Made a change so that certain irrelevant errors
returned when running an AppleScriptObjC script are no longer
reported.
* [352188, 353495] Fixed crash which would occur when trying to
store information about a recently used item in situations where
the item had been deleted.
* [353496] Fixed a thread-safety issue which could cause a crash
during multi-file search in situations where it was
necessary to
parse an HTML or XML file to guess its character set.
* [351601] Fixed bug in which the Objective-C guesser was a little
bit too liberal, and would be tricked by `@classmethod` in Python
text.
* [353770] Fixed various bugs in the "Compare Revisions" and
"Compare Arbitrary Revisions" dialogs, including a crash which
would occur when an item in a revision list was double-clicked,
which would in turn attempt a comparison even when no other
revision was selected.
* Put in a fix to address cases in which keyboard modifiers used
to invoke items from folder-backed menus would inappropriately
leak through and cause the alternative actions to take place
(such as "open for editing" or "reveal in Finder").
* Fixed a case in which the Objective-C[++] function scanner would
run off the end of the text in certain rare situations.
* [353872] Fixed case in which the function menu item in the
navigation bar was allowed to be arbitrarily large, which would
cause it to push items on the left-hand side (such as Text
Options and the file path) out of view.
* [353885] Fixed crash which would occur when using "Reveal in
Project List" and the operation required automatically twisting
open a folder ancestor of the file being revealed.
* [353961] Fixed bug in which a project document closed with a
hidden sidebar would reopen with the sidebar visible.
* [352334] While entering a path in the Find Differences window
for a file or directory that does not exist, trailing slashes
would occasionally need to be typed twice. Once should now
suffice.
* Fixed a bug in which tracking a close widget in the sidebar
would leave the widget in a "hover" state in the case that the
mouse was dragged and released outside of the bounds of the
sidebar.
* [354106] Fixed incorrect description of the expert preference
keys for adjusting the limits on Open Recent. (The keys begin
with `NSRecentDocumentsLimit_`, using an underscore, rather than
`NSRecentDocumentsLimit:` with a colon.)
* [354135] Fixed bug in which calculations done during line-ending
conversion ended up with incorrect answers in files with
inconsistent line breaks.
* [354119] Fixed bug in which object-class-specific attachment
scripts (e.g. `Document.scpt`) were not being run when they
should have.
* [353576] Fixed a case in which the application would crash when
cancelling an SFTP connection in progress.
* Fixed a bug in which the SFTP password prompt would appear again
if you clicked the "Cancel" button. (Up to three times total.)
