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.

Fixes
-----
* [NFR] Fixed a regression in which an authenticated install of
the command line tools would move the tools out of the
application package into /usr/local/bin rather than installing
symlinks, when running on macOS versions older than 10.14.
* [NFR] Fixed regression in which sandboxed BBEdit builds couldn't
import settings and support folder items from TextWrangler when
starting up with a clean slate.
* Corrected the dark-mode appearance of the Grep pattern and
"recent search" icon buttons in Process Lines Containing, Process
Duplicate Lines, and text factory Replace All panels, as
appropriate.
* Added documentation about the `FTPShowParentDir` expert
preference to the Expert Preferences help.
* [366703] Disk browsers will now list directory aliases/symlinks
as "twistable" items; twisting open one such will disclose the
items within the target.
* [365966] Fixed bug in which "Check Syntax" for Perl would not
report any errors if the script had a #!/usr/bin/env line.
* [366735] Made a change to Open File by Name cache
generation, so
that directories that would be hidden by a `.gitignore`
file are
no longer scanned. This may improve scan/rescan performance on
particularly large directories.
* [366769] Fixed a bug in which using the scripting interface to
ask for the "`last clipboard`" would fail.
* [366749] Fixed bug in which the summary view in the
Multi-File Search
window was allowed to gain keyboard focus.
* [366763] Made a change to fix the suspected cause of a crash
which could occur when autosaving scratcpad documents.
* [366773] Made a chance to reduce transparency in the Markup
Builder panel when running on macOS 10.14, which improves
readability in the panel when the prevailing appearance contrasts
with the editing view background (e.g. using "BBEdit Light" with
Dark Mode).
* [366927] Fixed bug in which turning _on_ "Match application
appearance to selected editor color scheme" while a dark color
scheme was in use would not correctly adjust the application's
overall appearance, which led to some unexpected drawing effects.

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.
