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
-----
* [NFR] [355455] Fixed regression which would cause a crash or
hang when EOF was encountered while calculating syntax coloring
in a Unix Shell Script or Shell Worksheet document.
* [NFR] Fixed a regression which could cause a crash while
connecting to an SFTP server and checking for a press of
Command-period.
* [354347] Fixed an API usage pattern to avoid triggering a
bug in
the OS (38957113/36742395) which would cause BBEdit to hang when
the Universal Clipboard is in use on macOS 10.13.x.
* Floating palettes that depend on which window or document is
active are now opened at the very end of the startup
process, to
reduce the amount of work done by those palettes while reopening
windows and documents at startup.
* [355469] Fixed crash which would occur when trying to use the
`CREATION{DATE,TIME}` or `MODIFICATION{DATE,TIME}` placeholders
in a document which didn't (yet) exist on disk, such as when
creating a new HTML document with a template.
* [355439] Fixed bug in which a menu attachment on `BBEdit•Quit`
would not run when the Quit menu command was chosen.
* The "Quit" menu command is now correctly titled "Quit BBEdit".
* Fixed out-of-bounds memory access when using "Preview in BBEdit"
on a document that had no syntax coloring data.
* If a document does not exist on disk, the `CREATION{DATE,TIME}`
and `MODIFICATION{DATE,TIME}` placeholders will insert the
current {date, time} rather than simply deleting the placeholder.
* [355439] The `applicationShouldQuit` and `applicationDidQuit`
attachment points will now run when the application is quit for
any reason, including a normal "sleep" quit in which state is
saved. (Previously, these attachments only ran when the
application was set to quit without saving state.)
* [355392] Fixed a bug in which the SGML parser (and thus the PHP
in HTML function scanner) would get confused by something that
looked like the end of an XML processing instruction inside
of a
single-quoted string.
* [354053, 354829] Fixed crash which would occur if an error
occurred while reading a file on disk during preparation of an
auto-recovery snapshot.
* [355535] Made changes to guard against a crash that can happen
while attaching or removing a display.
* [355516, 355521] Fixed event rollover and crash which could
occur when trying to open multiple FTP/SFTP items at once
from a
project sidebar.
* Fixed bug in which using the "Open Selection" contextual menu
for multiple selected FTP/SFTP items in the sidebar would only
open the first selected item.
* Made some adjustments to the text in the Crash Reporter
submission window.
* [355665] Fixed bug in the `bbedit` command-line tool in
which a
line number specifier _ahead_ of the requested file was not
applied when opening the file. The following should now
behave as
expected:
`bbedit +236 /path/to/some/file.txt`
as well as:
`bbedit /path/to/some/file.txt +236`
* [355550] Adjusted column autoresizing in the "Go to Named
Symbol" panel so that the rightmost column has enough room for
the line number when the font size is very large.
* [304300] The "wrap around" search indicator now shows the
direction in which the search is wrapping (based on whether it
was a forward search or in reverse).
* [355714] Fixed bug in which using the Escape key to dismiss a
popover wouldn't work in cases where the popover didn't
have a
text field (such as the Editing Options popover, or the Info
popover for an untitled document).
