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/13.5_Notes-415037.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 13.5 (415037) (2020-10-01)
Additions
---------
* Added an expert preference, so that project documents are
allowed to remount volumes when reloading the list of documents
that were open when the project was last closed. This is off by
default, but if for some reason you need to:
`defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
ProjectsAllowVolumeMountWhenReopening -bool YES`
Changes
-------
+ [DOC] The button in the file panel for adding items to project
documents says "Add to Project" rather than "Open".
* Change the title of the Preferences window to reflect the
sidebar selection, because apparently that's a thing the HI
guidelines say to do.
Fixes
-----
* [NFR] [DOC] [407854] Harmonized the behavior of the commands on
the "+" sidebar menu for projects vs. non-project windows.
* [NFR] [407749] Fixed bug in which using "New Text Document" in
the contextual menu when right-clicking on a folder would not
correctly pre-select the desired location in the save panel.
* [NFR] [407772] Fixed bug in which the "document may have been
modified on the server" warning would appear in situations where
it shouldn't have.
* [NFR] [407773] Fixed regression in which batch markup tool
operations (Update Site/Folder, etc) didn't process items in
nested folders.
* [NFR] Fixed bug in which "New Folder" from the sidebar "+"
action menu would present the save panel for creating a new text
file, with a default "untitled.txt" name.
* [NFR] Limited the amount of text used when generating the
summary line for items in the Rescued Documents window, so that
very large rescued documents don't slow the process down.
* [400782] Made a change to guard against a logged ctags-related
crash.
* Made the `DisableScriptAttachments` expert preference work
correctly. (It's not documented for a reason, but should at least
not break the application when turned on.)
* Fixed a crash which could occur in the ctags support internals
when quitting the application quickly after startup.
* [407812, 407815] When rewrapping text with quoted lines (or with
lines that look like they might be quoted, like Markdown
headings), the wrapper will no longer put quote markers on blank
lines if the preceding line has quote markers. Thus, blank lines
will stay blank.
* [393065] When using a project with a local preview server
configured, and live previewing a document in the configured
site, BBEdit will refer asset requests for the previewed page to
the preview server, in the event that it's not able to resolve
those requests relative to the project's configured site root.
(This allows such asset requests to succeed where they would
previously have failed.)
* [393065] Fixed a bug in which page-relative links (to other
pages) were not constructed correctly when a preview server was
in use for Preview in BBEdit. This in turn meant that the browser
would show a 404 when clicking on such a link in a live preview
window.
* Corrected the color space used for converting color
representations from external forms (such as the value strings in
color schemes).
*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.
