Good morning folks,
We're currently working on a feature update to BBEdit 12, which
includes a number of new features, as well as fixes for
previously reported issues.
Testing is currently underway, and we have a stable pre-release
version ready for use.
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/notes-12.6.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.
============================================================================
version 12.6 (412017) (2019-01-21)
* This version of BBEdit requires macOS 10.12.6 or later. It will
not run on previous versions of macOS or Mac OS X.
Additions
---------
o (none in this build)
Changes
-------
* [DOC] [NFR] Added a "More Info" button to the sandboxing section
of the Application preferences, this opens the sandboxing help
page.
* [275459] There is now an expert preference for controlling SSH
"keepalive" behavior. If you have problems with your SSH server
closing the connection after a period of non-use (which will
subsequently cause errors in BBEdit), you can tell BBEdit
to send
a periodic "keepalive" message to while connected to the server.
This is configurable per host, per domain, or globally. Determining
the appropriate value may require some experimentation, but 90
seconds is probably a good starting point.
```
# only for "foobar.example.com"
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
SSHServerKeepaliveInterval:foobar.example.com -int 90
# only for servers in "example.com"
ast">defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
SSHServerKeepaliveInterval:example.com -int 90
# global preference
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
SSHServerKeepaliveInterval -int 90
```
We recommend that that you adjust this setting per host whenever
possible, rather than globally or per-domain.
Fixes
-----
* [NFR] This build contains changes to satisfy App Review.
* [NFR] [366285] Worked around a bug in WebKit which caused it to
ignore the user's request to use an alternative CSS file when
using Preview in BBEdit, in cases where the user's BBEdit
application support folder was in Dropbox or iCloud Drive.
* [NFR] Fixed bug in which ctags-based coloring didn't refresh
when granting sandbox access after the fact.
* [NFR] Fixed a regression which broke CWD-relative path
resolution in the command line tools when run from Terminal.
* Fixed a couple of layout glitches in the Expert Preferences help.
* [366531] Corrected the appearance of the Comments panel for text
factory items when Dark Mode is in effect on macOS 10.14.
* [364316, 365117] Made changes to address situations in which
case-insensitive literal search would not match expected
characters (or, in some reported but nonreproducible cases, would
inappropriately match characters).
* [366491] Fixed a pair of related bugs, in which (a) the FTP/SFTP
browser window did not open with a reasonable sort order by
default; and (ii) any subsequently selected sort order did not
persist when it should have.

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.
The package can be downloaded from our web server:

Enjoy,
R.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.
