Good morning folks,
We're currently working on another maintenance update to BBEdit
12 to address a few recently reported issues.
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/12.6.2_Notes.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.
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.
Here is the list of changes made since the previous pre-release build:
============================================================================
version 12.6.2 (412051) (2019-03-13)
* 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] Non-app-store builds of the application will no longer
prompt for sandbox access permissions when starting up for the
first time. The associated settings in the Application
preferences are likewise unnecessary, and so are hidden in
non-app-store builds as well.
Among other things, this simplifies deployment for large
installation sites (corporate and educational customers).
Fixes
-----
* Made a change to the EditorConfig internals to improve
performance during large-scale batch operations, such as
multi-file search.
* Made a change to improve the performance of the
filename-to-extension language mapper during large-scale batch
operations (such as multi-file search).
* Made a change to reduce overhead when guessing a file's text
encoding during large-scale batch operations such as multi-file
search.
* Made a change to resolve confusion caused by an OS behavior,
which left the default location for the Save panel pointing at
the top level of the startup disk after granting sandbox access.
This in turn left the panel pointing there by default when saving
a new document.
* Fixed a bug in which the sidebar width was not correctly
restored in windows which were in full screen mode when the
application was quit.
* [368248] Change the `file filter` and `folder filter` syntax in
the scripting terminology to `file_filter` and `folder_filter`,
respectively, so that recorded scripts actually compile.
* [368282] Made a change to fix a probable crash which would occur
when doing a batch site update while one or more files from the
site were open for editing.
* Renamed the `BBAuthOperationsXPCService` helper to
`BBEditPrivilegedOperationsHelper`, so that it's less scary for
the unwary.
* [368368] Fixed bug in which Add/Remove Line Numbers took much
longer than it should have in cases where it took long
enough for
a progress dialog to be necessary; and corrected the titles in
the Add/Remove Line Numbers progress dialog.
* [368245] Fixed bug in which the sidebar width was not restored
correctly when restoring application state at startup, when the
"Automatically show" sidebar setting was "Always".
* [368421] Worked around an OS misbehavior in which temporary
files written out for running #! scripts from within the
application (when the document you want to run has unsaved
changes) were quarantined, and so attempts to run them
using the
shell would fail.
* Adjusted the default width of the sidebar so that it's not quite
so wide.
