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/12.1.4_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:

Fixes

* Fixed a performance bug in the Objective-C/C++ language guesser.
* [355084] Fixed case in which "New (with selection)" and "New
(with Clipboard)" would be slowed down by unnecessary language
guessing.
* Made a change to shave a bit of (constant) time off application
startup.
* [327342] Added support to the `x-bbedit` URL scheme for opening
files, and optionally specifying line and column number. The
syntax is the same as the `txmt` URL support in place since
BBEdit 8.0, namely:
`x-bbedit://open?url=file:///path/to/some/file`
where `/path/to/some/file` is the actual file path.
You can also specify an explicit line to select when
opening the file:
`x-bbedit://open?url=file:///path/to/some/file&line=5`
If desired, you can add a column position, which will place the
insertion point before the indicated character on that line:
`x-bbedit://open?url=file:///path/to/some/file&line=5&column=42`
Try clicking on this URL, and you'll see that it opens one
of your
local files in BBEdit, even though you're viewing it in a browser
window:
[x-bbedit://open?url=file:///etc/hosts](x-bbedit://open?url=file:///etc/hosts)
An `x-bbedit` URL is guaranteed to always launch BBEdit
when opened
from another application, unlike a `file` or `editor` URL,
which is
at the mercy of the OS to decide which application to start
for any
given file.
* [353755] Fixed a bug in which typing a quote to close an HTML
attribute value would inappropriately auto-pair the typed
character in some circumstances.
* [355070] Fixed bug in which the HTML syntax checker would
incorrectly report that some extended `mailto:` URLs needed
character encoding.
* [355329] Fixed crash which would occur in the Ruby function
scanner under certain conditions.
* Added `canonical` to the list of values for the `rel` attribute
for which BBEdit will not generate a warning when checking HTML
syntax.
