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 (412019) (2019-01-24)
* 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
---------
* The confirmation panel for multi-file Replace All or Text
Factory operation gets keyboard equivalents for the "Leave Open"
and "Don't Save" buttons (Cmd-L and Cmd-D, respectively).
Changes
-------
* The "Run" button in text factory windows is now enabled even if
you haven't chosen anything to process. If you run the factory,
it will prompt you to choose something to process. Any selections
you make will *not* be remembered in the document; however
if you
change any of the scanning options, those changes *will*
mark the
text factory document as needing to be saved.
* Made a change to the `bbdiff` tool so that if either path is
`/dev/null`, it will open the other file in BBEdit, and
wait for
you to close the file, as though you had opened it with `bbedit
-w`. This makes it easier still to use `bbdiff` as a diff helper
for git.
* Made a change to the `bbedit` tool so that `bbedit -l
--scratchpad` can be used as a shortcut to open the Scratch Pad
from the command line, without requiring any data.
Fixes
-----
* [NFR] Fixed a layout regression in the results list for
multi-file Replace All operations.
* [360549, 364246] Fixed a bug in which performing CJKV character
input after moving the insertion point into the middle of a range
of just-typed text would fail to manage Undo correctly, resulting
in unexpected and unwanted behavior when attempting to undo or
redo any operation in that document.
* [351945] Reconnected the keyboard equivalents for the "FTP
Browser" items in the Menus & Shortcuts preferences.
* Fixed crash which would occur when attempting to use a saved
file filter when running a text factory.
* Fixed bug in which the "Edit" button next to the file filter
popup in the Text Factory scan options panel was never
enabled in
situations when it should have been.
* [366681] Adjusted the layout of the "Installed Languages" panel
so that it doesn't present a horizontal scrollbar.
* [366688] Fixed a bug in which entering text via the Grep
Patterns popup in the Replace All sheet for a text factory would
not insert correctly when in dark mode.
* [366687] Fixed bug in which the "Show items starting with “.”"
option would actually cause items whose name began with a period
to be hidden _unless_ the `FTPShowParentDir` expert preference
was turned on.
* [366687] When the `FTPShowParentDir` expert preference is turned
on, the `.` and `..` entries do not have disclosure triangles,
because that doesn't make any sense.
* [366682] When using the "Choose" panel for text factory sources,
the file panel opened by the "Other" button would filter out
items that were already in the list. This was sometimes
inconvenient, so now the file panel allows everything, and
if you
choose something that's already in the list, its checkbox
will be
marked.
*fin*
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.
