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 previous pre-release build:
============================================================================
* [DOC] Added support for the following extension to the
`x-bbedit:` URL
scheme. The `new-document` verb will create a new text
document with the
text provided in the URL.
`x-bbedit://new-document//?text=<whatever>`
You may choose to include optional "`language`" and
"`name`" parameters:
`x-bbedit://new-document//?language=<foo>&name=<bar>&text=whatever`
- the "`language`" parameter lets you specify the (computer)
language of the document. You can use this for syntax
coloring. For example:
`x-bbedit://new-document//?language=js&text=<whatever>`
The value for "`language`" can be a filename extension
that BBEdit
recognizes for that language, e.g. "`js`" or "`m`" or
"`py`"; or it may be
a mode name (which is basically the language name, lowercased):
"`javascript`", "`objective-c`", "`python`".
You can count on all of the factory languages being available;
you could also use something like "`swift`" or "`rust`" or
"`clojure`" and if it's not available, nothing bad happens.
- the "name" parameter sets the initial name of the document:
`x-bbedit://new-document//?name=ExampleOmniScript.js&text=<whatever>`
Note that if you do provide a "`name`" but not a
"`language`", BBEdit
will try to figure out what language to use based on
the name.
- the contents of the "`text`" parameter will be the contents
of the new document . BBEdit will not attempt to interpret
it, although it will convert line endings to its internal
form.
- URL-unsafe characters in all parameters must be percent-encoded.

Fixes
-----
* [NFR] Fixed a regression in which SFTP connections would prompt
for a password even when one was already available or unnecessary.
* [354233] Made changes to prevent a class of crashes that would
occur on macOS 10.12 in cases where a password request or host
key confirmation was canceled while connecting to an SFTP server.
* Fixed a crash which would occur when a saved set of multi-file
search items contained a reference to itself, or when two (or
more) saved sets created a reference loop.
* [354301] Fixed bug in which "Select All" was enabled on the Edit
menu in situations where it shouldn't have been, and using
it (or
pressing Cmd-A) would trigger an internal exception.
* Fixed a few memory leaks.
* Fixed a bug in which more work than necessary was being done
while building the item tree for folders in projects
(insta- or
otherwise).
* [354046] Fixed bug in which instaprojects would not open up with
the correct sidebar width, which was particularly
noticeable when
the width had been customized via "Save Default Project Window".
* [354336] Fixed a bug in which Hard Wrap would leave the last
line of a
paragraph unbroken in cases where it was longer than the
wrap width.
