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-414023.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 (414023) (2020-04-27)
Additions
---------
* Added [`cmark-gfm`](https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm) to
the list of built-in supported Markdown
renderers (to the new Markdown language-specific preferences).
* The "Unix Shell Script" language module now supports syntax
checking via
the "Check Syntax" command on the "`#!`" menu,
*if* you have the
[`shellcheck`](https://www.shellcheck.net) command-line tool installed.
* The `bbresults` tool gains a new built-in pattern option: `gcc`,
for handling GCC-style diagnostic output which includes an
`error:`, `warning:`, or `note:` qualifier between the
line/column and the message text.
* [355779] The CSS/SCSS module now supports callout comments. The
following are supported:
```
/* MARK this is a named marker */
/* FIXME this needs to be fixed */
/* FIX-ME is treated like FIXME */
/* NOTE is a note for the reader */
/* NYI stands for "not yet implemented" and is treated as a
to-do */
/* REVIEW means someone needs to look at this */
/* TODO when I get around to it */
/* XXX is another form of NOTE */
/* ??? I have a question here */
/* !!! I smell a wumpus */
```
Callouts are case-sensitive and must be all upper case in
order to
be detected.
Changes
-------
* The "violator" used during the initial 30-day evaluation period
and when running in Free Mode is now a button. Clicking it opens
the License panel (which contains additional details as
well as
providing a place to purchase).
* Added a "Can't Find It?" button to the serial number entry panel.
Fixes
-----
* Improvements to CSS syntax coloring:
- value units, CSS function names, and value names are colored;
- fixed cases in which value text was colored as a
selector if
it happened to match a selector name (e.g. "right");
- added many missing selector and value keywords.
[NFR] This is work in progress; there is more work to be done.
* [360712] Fixed bug in which an unsupported legacy "`#mark`"
comment was not colored correctly and would generate junk
in the
function menu.
* [357089] Fixed bug in which CSS pseudo element selectors would
confuse the function/fold scanner.
*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,
R.

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