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 (412023) (2019-02-05)
* 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
-------
* [NFR] [DOC] The "Folders" submenu (and Folders tab in the Setup
window) now include the `Logs` folder.
Fixes
-----
* [NFR] [DOC] Choosing an item from the "Folders" submenu of the
application menu will open that folder's window in the Finder,
rather than just highlighting the folder itself.
* [NFR] Fixed a regression in which "Open with Finder" would not
activate the Finder in cases where the opened item was something
for which the Finder needed to open a window (such as a folder).
* [366945] Fixed crash which would occur when choosing a color
scheme in the Text Colors preferences, when the scheme file was
open as text in an editing window (which is something you
have to
go through so many gyrations to do it doesn't even bear
description, but there you go).
* Fixed bug in which the HTML attribute value checker was using
outdated and incomplete information for checking values which
could be a color specification.
* [366953] The markup syntax checker will now generate a warning
rather than an error for URI attribute values that require entity
encoding. (Entity encoding is a best practice, but browsers can
mask mistakes and it's also not always required.)
* [354137] Made a change so that the Undo state generated by using
the "Strip trailing whitespace" preference is limited to the
overall range of text that was affected (from the beginning of
the first line on which space was stripped, to the end of the
last) rather than including the entire document.
* [367025] When requesting the `URL` AppleScript property of a
document that was opened using an external file transfer client
via the [ODB
protocol](https://www.barebones.com/support/develop/odbsuite.html),
BBEdit will now return the custom path
as provided by the client, if it appears to be parseable as an
URL. Otherwise (and for all other documents), the `URL` property
will return the location of the document's backing file on disk,
as before.
* Made a change so that the Open panel is (hopefully) completely
gone before we start the process of opening a document;
that way,
if an error occurs while opening, the alert won't be hidden
behind the stuck Open panel.
* [366959] Fixed a bug in which the available clippings sets (and
the Clippings floater) didn't update appropriately when selecting
different files in a results window or disk browser.
*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.
