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-414027.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 (414027) (2020-05-04)
Additions
---------
* [349418] [DOC] Added two new Clippings placeholders: "`#PATH#`"
and "`#FULLPATH#`". These placeholders will insert the document's
path, if the document exists on disk. "`#PATH#`" will abbreviate
the path with a tilde if the document is in your home directory;
otherwise both "`#PATH#`" and "`#FULLPATH#`" will insert the
document's fully qualified path.
* [325024] [DOC] Added a new option to the Keyboard
preferences to
control whether Option-up-arrow and Option-down-arrow move by
paragraphs (see below). This option is off by default to support
existing customers; changes to it take effect immediately.
A "paragraph" is defined as the region between two hard
line breaks
(including the beginning or end of the document), and so if Soft
Wrap Text is turned _off_, turning on this preference basically
causes Option-up and Option-down to move to the beginning
or end of
the current line (or the next non-empty line, if you're
already at
the end of the current line).
* Added support for classes to the JavaScript language module.
Class declarations and their methods will appear on the function
menu.
Changes
-------
* Made a change to the Get Info panel so that it selects only the
file's "base" name, leaving the extension unselected.
* Made the right-click highlighting for list items a little
less heavy.
Fixes
-----
* [NFR] [338450] Fixed a bug in the updated Ruby support in which
namespace qualifiers were mistaken as named argument keys.
* [383909] Fixed bug in which the `#script#` clipping placeholder
didn't correctly set up the Unix shell environment.
* [384058] Markers (created via the "Set Marker" and "Find & Mark
All" commands) are now stored with autosave state (for untitled
and unsaved documents), so that the markers are preserved
as part
of crash recovery and state restoration.
* [379866] Made a change so that unsaved and untitled documents
remember their display settings (soft wrap, invisibles, etc)
during application state preservation and crash recovery.
* [388994] Fixed crash which could occur when bringing up the
Multi-File Search window.
* Fixed bug in which collection items in project sidebars didn't
show the correct highlighting when dragging an item over them.
*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.
