Good afternoon 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 previous 12.6.5 pre-release:
============================================================================
version 12.6.5 (412089) (2019-06-11)
* 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
---------
* (none in this build)
Changes
-------
* [DOC] When using a "Run" command for a file with a `#!` line,
BBEdit will no longer attempt to run the file using the
appropriate interpreter for the language (e.g. Python), and will
instead ask the shell to run it directly. Thus, running a file
like this:
```
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
print(sys.version)
```
will behave identically to using "Run In Terminal," and
thus will
always run the script using whatever `python` the system
would have
used on the command line.
On the other hand, if you omit the `#!` line:
```
import sys
print(sys.version)
```
Then BBEdit will make its best guess as to which `python`
to use,
based on the previously documented rules.
*Note:* BBEdit will _only_ run the file directly using the shell
when using the "Run" (or "Run with Options") or "Run in Terminal"
commands. When using "Check Syntax" or "Run in Debugger", BBEdit
will continue to use its best guess for the language interpreter.
This behavior is controlled by an expert preference. To
force BBEdit
to ignore the `#!` line:
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
AlwaysUseShebangLineForWindowRun -bool NO
Fixes
-----
* Made changes to resolve some latent concurrency issues.
* Made a change to solve a class of concurrency problems in the
text engine, which would (in some situations) cause obscure and
hard-to-reproduce crashes.
* Changed the layout of "widescreen" differences results windows
so that the Apply buttons are close to the list of differences,
as they are in the normal layout.
* Fixed a concurrency bug which would sometimes cause the
application to crash in cases where an external process
rewrote a
`ctags` data file that was in use by one or more open documents.
* Fixed a performance bug in the lorem ipsum generator, such that
requests for large amounts of text to take a very long time to
complete.
* Removed number formatting from the quantity field in the lorem
ipsum generator dialog. (So you'll generate 20000
paragraphs, not
20,000.)
