Good afternoon and happy new year,

We're currently working on another maintenance update to BBEdit 13 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/13.0.5_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 public release:

Fixes
-----

*   [382477] A "`#!`" line at the very beginning of a Swift file is
    now colored as a comment.

*   [382477] Fixed a bug in the Swift language module in which Swift
    5 extended string delimiters would confuse the coloring.

*   [382205] If you override the script editor bundle ID using the
    expert preference, and the application specified by that bundle
    ID can't be found, BBEdit will now report an error instead of
    crashing when you use "Open Script Editor" or a related command.

*   Fixed bug in which previewing Unix man page source would fail,
    showing a blank preview and a crash report for the tool
    responsible for generating the HTML.

*   Updated the PCRE2 copyright year.

*   Fixed a bug in which typing comments at the beginning of a Swift
file (either absolutely, or as the first non-blank line) did not
    correctly update syntax coloring.

*   [382528] Fixed bug in which backslash escape sequences weren't
    properly processed for literal searches performed using the "Live
    Search" box or the live matching in the Find window.

*   [382626] Fixed bug in which using the `bbdiff` tool (or the GUI)
    to compare two items would fail if either item was a symlink.

*   [382582] Updated to a newer version of `libgit2`, which includes
    fixes to the `.gitignore` parser that are relevant to our
    interests.

*   [382582] Fixed a bug in which Git ignore checking didn't apply
when searching a directory that *wasn't* a Git working copy, but
    which contained directories that were.

*   [375572] Fixed a bug in which performing certain operations
within a half a second of dismissing the Save panel when saving a new document (or using "Save As") would allow those operations to
    occur before the document had actually been saved (and/or would
    behave strangely).

*   [381218] Fixed a bug in Python syntax coloring in which certain
    characters immediately preceding a numeric value would prevent
    the number from being colored.

*   [330731] Fixed a bug in which turning off "Reopen documents that
    were open at last quit" and then immediately quitting would
    frequently result in the application reopening documents that
    were open at last quit.

*   [255988] A "`#!`" line starting at the very beginning of a
    JavaScript file is now colored as a comment.

*   [380107] Fixed bug in which Git branch names containing
    non-ASCII characters would display incorrectly in the navigation
    bar.

*   [382888] Fixed bug in which the "Use for Find" button in Pattern
    Playground windows didn't properly apply the "Case sensitive"
    setting.

*   [382576] Fixed bug in which saving a text document would remove
    any document-specific customizations to the print panel settings,
    resetting print behavior to application (and OS) defaults.

*   Updated the JavaScript module's lists of keywords and predefined
    names to ECMA-262 compatibility.

*   [321233, 321240] Fixed a bug in which certain characters
    immediately following a number would cause the PHP color scanner
    to get confused.

*   [319275, 320846] Fixed a bug in which the PHP function scanner
    didn't correctly handle heredoc strings occurring inside of
    parentheses.

*   Made a change so that BBEdit will load its sleep state or
    auto-saved application state from the most recent available
state, in cases where you're using BBEdit for the first time on a
    new computer, and state has been migrated or restored from a
    backup of a different computer.

*   [332775] Fixed bug in which the initial setting of "Include
    space after number" in the "Add/Remove Line Numbers" dialog box
    did not reflect the default behavior.

*   [324725] Fixed bug in which Clang typedef attributes would
    confuse the C-family function scanner.

*   [315137, 317899] Fixed a bug in which editing at the beginning
    of a file managed by a codeless language module would sometimes
    incorrectly recalculate coloring in the edited (and following)
    areas.

*   [357614] Fixed a bug in which zooming a window (by any of the
various means available) would sometimes cause the window to move
    to a different display on multi-display systems.

*   [NFR] [383550] Fixed a regression which would cause coloring in
    files managed by codeless language modules to get confused when
    making edits.

*   Changed the way window positions are stored in application state
so that there's a better chance that windows will be restored to
    the correct display when restoring state at application startup.

*   [382582] Fixed a bug in Git ignore filtering during multi-file
search in which an item in an ignored location wasn't skipped in
    the case that it was the target of a symlink in a non-ignored
    location.

*   [383697] Fixed bug in which quitting the application with more
    than one window open in full screen mode would, upon relaunch,
get the application stuck in a state where it would consume a lot
    of CPU when idle. (Due to limitations elsewhere, only the first
    window that was in full-screen mode will be restored to that
    condition.)

*   [383728] Fixed bug in which the shell execution environment was
    not set up correctly for the "Run Unix Filter" text factory
    action, which in turn could lead to inconsistent results compared
to using the same filter script from the "Apply Text Filter" menu
    command.

*   [383832] Handled case in which the SFTP server would return
    "file already exists" rather than "operation failed" while trying
    to create directories for site deployment, which would in turn
    cause the deployment to fail.

*   [383912] Fixed a bug in which twisting an item open in an
    FTP/SFTP browser list would cause the selected item to scroll
    into view.

* [383909] Fixed bug in which the shell environment was not set up
    correctly for Unix commands run via the `#system#` clipping
    placeholder.
