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/12.1.6_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 <supp...@barebones.com> 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:
============================================================================
version 12.1.6 (410105) (2018-08-21)
Additions
---------
o (none in this build)
Changes
-------
* The maximum depth to which #bbinclude directives can be nested
has been increased to 32 (twice what it was before).
Fixes
-----
* [356069] Fixed bug in which dropping an image into PHP code
in a
"PHP in HTML" document would not generate the appopriate `img`
tag.
* [358141] Fixed bug in which using the character panel to insert
characters into a shell worksheet would cause a crash.
* [358102] Fixed a crash which would occur when any built-in or
codeless language module was overridden by a newer one.
* [356813, 358031] Made a change to fix a crash which would occur
while performing a drag operation whose successful completion
closed the window in which the drag originated. (An example of
this would be dragging the only document from an editing window
into the sidebar of another window.)
* [358044] Made a change to allow spell-checking to examine the
contents of Python docstrings (triple-quoted strings).
* Fixed bug in which the completion panel would appear with the
wrong line height in situations where the editor font size was
set to something significantly larger than the factory default.
* [357953] Made a change to the Windows floater so that it obeys
the `SortWindowsAndDocumentsByName` expert preference (which
defaults to `yes`, so the net effect is that windows and
documents in the floater are now sorted by name).
* [357902] Fixed a case in which the wrap limit while printing was
not calculated correctly when the "Frame printing area" setting
was in use.
* [357671] Added entries for the "Document Type" and "Character
Set" submenu heads in the Markup menu for the Menus & Shortcuts
preferences.
* [357671] Fixed a bug in which menu commands which had submenus
would not respond to the check boxes in the Menus & Shortcuts
preferences, and would always be visible. One manifestation of
this was that turning on any single item in the Markup menu after
having used "Simple Menus" would cause all of the submenu heads
to become visible in that menu.
* [358130] Fixed a bug in which certain menu commands weren't
processed correctly when the editing window was in full screen
mode, even though the menu command was enabled. ("Un/Comment
Lines" and "Un/Comment Block" were the most common
occurrence of
this.)
* [358719, 358955] Fixed a bug in which Preview in BBEdit windows
would be placed offscreen when (for reasons still not understood)
a zero-sized position got saved the last time the preview window
was closed. Inappropriate preview window bounds are now ignored,
and the preview window will appear in its default location rather
than offscreen.
* [358699, 358962] Fixed bug in which Command-right-arrow would
not move the selection in cases where an entire
soft-wrapped line
of text was selected following certain operations (such as a
Shift).
* [358961] Fixed bug in which "Convert to ASCII" did not correctly
convert ellipsis (...) and some other characters when it should
have.
* [358903] Fixed bug in which folding or unfolding text would not
mark the document's state as needing to be saved, so simply
making a change to folding was not enough to enable the Save
command.
