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/12.6.5_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 12.6.4 public release:
============================================================================
version 12.6.5 (412083) (2019-05-23)
* 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
---------
* [DOC] If the selected range of text looks like a color
specification, the Character Inspector panel will display a color
swatch for the corresponding color. (For example, try selecting
"`#EE11DD`" or "`rebeccapurple`".)
* [DOC] The Character Inspector now includes the offsets of the
selected characters. The offsets are expressed relative to the
beginning of the document; so the first character offset is zero.
Changes
-------
* The old crash reporter makes a triumphant return. Here's hoping
you never see it. But if you do, we'll be grateful if you include
your email address and a description of what you were doing (if
you weren't poking a badger with a spoon). *Note:* Mac App Store
builds do not use our crash reporter; please use Apple's crash
reporter and write to [Tech Support](mailto:[email protected])
if you encounter a crash.
Fixes
-----
* Fixed a bug in the C-family function scanner in which the
use of class
or function attributes (`__attribute__`) would confuse the scanner.
* Made changes to significantly improve the performance of UTF-8
validation (used when reading files from disk). The
improvement is most
noticeable when opening very large files.
* [370470] Fixed bug in which the built-in reference URL template
for HTML was incorrect, so a -4960 error would result if you
tried to use "Find in Reference" on an HTML document and you
didn't have Dash installed. (You should get Dash, it's a good
product: [https://kapeli.com/dash](https://kapeli.com/dash).)
* Updated the reference URL template for C family languages to do
searches in the current Apple developer reference.
* The C-family language module will now color Clang built-ins
using the color for "Predefined Names".
* [370541] Fixed bug in which inserting a color into an HTML
attribute's value via the Colors palette would inappropriately
quote the color value.
* Fixed a case in which App Store builds would erroneously report
that the evaluation period was over when choosing a menu command
marked with a star during the evaluation period.
* [371119] Fixed bug in which it was possible to drag things into
the summary text area in the Multi-File Search window.
* Added the SetApp release of
[MarsEdit](https://www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/) to the
entitlements, so that its "Edit in BBEdit" handshake will work
correctly.
* [371085, 371139] Fixed a regression caused by a change in
`cmark` in which generated HTML would omit raw HTML
elements that
were deemed "unsafe". This often manifested as external CSS and
JavaScript not loading when using "Preview in BBEdit".
