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/12.6.4_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 12.6.4 (412077) (2019-04-25)

Fixes
-----
* Added `__contravariant` and `__covariant` to the
Objective-C/Objective-C++ keyword list.
* [369477] Made a change so that file filtering for executable
text files is more strict than before, so that if (for example)
you dump a README in the Scripts folder, it won't appear in the
menu.
* Updated the `cmark` tool used to generate previews for Markdown
documents. (As a reminder: you can use an alternative Markdown
converter if you wish; see the "Applying Preview Filters" section
in Chapter 11 of the user manual.)
* [370051] Made a change to the file-resolution mechanics in
project documents, so that a project will always attempt to
resolve a relative reference before trying the stored bookmark.
This ensures an accurate result in situations such as Git branch
switches, where the bookmark would return a correct but undesired
value.
