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 (412027) (2019-02-12)
* 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] The "Text Options" sheet gets a setting for the tab width,
and an indicator when the file's settings are managed by
EditorConfig.
* [DOC] BBEdit-specific print settings are now available in the
Print panel when printing a text document. As a result, we have
removed the "Printing" section from the "Text Options"
panel, and
restored the latter to its former simplicity.
* The displayed path for files opened from within Zip archives or
tarballs is now abbreviated using a tilde, if it is within the
current user's home directory.
Fixes
-----
* [367127] Updated the man page for `bbedit` to reflect that
`-u`/`--create-unix` are deprecated (but still allowed as
synonyms for `-c`/`--create`). The output of `bbedit -h` no
longer mentions `-u`/`--create-unix`.
* [328867] Fixed bug in which changing text display settings via
the Text Options command; the options popover in the navigation
bar; or one of the commands on the View => Text Display submenu,
did not mark the document's state dirty.
* [367249] Fixed bug in which search results text generated for
items inside of Zip archives or tarballs did not actually include
the archive-relative path to the file.
* [367237] Made a change so that `bbedit --maketags` ignores the
`ctags` present in the freestanding Xcode command-line tools
installation, in case those are installed.

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.
