Good afternoon folks,
We're currently working on a feature update to BBEdit 13, which
includes a number of new features, as well as fixes for
previously reported issues.
Testing is currently underway, and we have a stable pre-release
version ready for use.
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/13.1_Notes-414013.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.
============================================================================
Here is a list of changes since the previous pre-release version:
version 13.1 (414013) (2020-04-13)
Additions
---------
* [DOC] Added a new color setting to the "Text Colors"
preferences: "Keyword argument names". This is currently used
only for Ruby, but since there are other languages which have
syntax for keyworded function arguments, this may be used
at the
language module implementor's discretion for other languages.
Changes
-------
* [DOC] Restored the "grip strips" drag handle indicator to the
right-hand side of the action bar (at the bottom of the sidebar)
in projects and disk browser windows.
* Made the about box window vertically resizable.
* The about box window now indicates when BBEdit is in Free Mode,
rather than always saying "(evaluation version)" even after the
initial 30-day period has expired.
* During the evaluation and when in Free Mode, clicking on the
indication ("(evaluation version)" or "(free mode)") will open
the license panel, which contains more information.
Fixes
-----
* [NFR] [386955] Fixed regression in Unix shell script
coloring in
which spaces after the heredoc string trigger would cause a
failure to recognize the string as such.
* [NFR] Fixed regression in which Shift-backspace did not function
as forward delete when Emacs keyboard emulation was turned on.
* [NFR] [387339] Fixed regression in which "empty" comment lines
in Unix shell scripts would mess up coloring on the subsequent
line.
* [386760] Fixed cosmetic glitch in which the icon in the Text
Statistics status bar item wasn't dimmed when its containing
window wasn't active.
* [382486] Picked some nits in the about box text.
* Fixed a bug in the about window's path menu in which separator
items weren't disabled as they should have been.
* [386957] If an item in the Scripts (or other folder that
backs a
menu) is an alias or symlink, the name of the alias itself
is now
used as the title of the menu item, which resolves
confusion when
the linked item has a name which isn't useful when
presented in
the menu.
* [353304] "Compare Against Previous Version" is enabled for
documents being viewed in a results window, even when the
keyboard focus is not on the text view.
* [386203] Fixed a bug in which the text highlight color settings
in the Text Colors preferences didn't reflect the system
highlight colors, which led to confusion when turning _on_ the
"Use custom highlight colors" setting.
* [387092] Fixed bug in which using the "Citation" command from
the Markup/Phrase Elements menu would apply the "`<cite>`" tag
twice.
* [387096] Preference panes' names are now included in their
search terms, so that you can type "shortcut" to find the "Menus
& Shortcuts" preferences pane.
+ [266502, 338640] Added syntax coloring of keyword args (arg:)
and hash keys (key:) in ruby files. This uses the "Keyword
argument names" setting.
* [198954] Added "`extend`", "`include`", "`public`", "`private`",
and "`protected`" to the list of Ruby predefined names.
*fin*
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.
The package can be downloaded from our web server:

Enjoy,

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.
