Good afternoon,
We're currently working on a maintenance update to BBEdit 13.5 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/13.5.3_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 13.5.2 public release:
============================================================================
version 13.5.3 (415065) (2020-11-25)
Additions
---------
* [DOC] If you need to *completely* disable the search history in
the Find and Multi-File Search windows, you can do so now, using
the following expert preference command:
`defaults write com.barebones.bbedit DisableFindAndReplaceHistory -bool
YES`
* If BBEdit was quit abnormally (crash, force quit, system panic,
meteor strike or other force majeure, etc), then the next time
you start the application, it will prompt you to confirm whether
or not you'd like to reopen any documents that had previously
been open. Generally "Reopen Documents" is the desireable course
of action, but you can skip this. (If you elect not to reopen,
BBEdit will still restore auto-recovery snapshots of any
unsaved/untitled documents.)
Changes
-------
* (none in this build)
Fixes
-----
* [412118] Fixed crash which would occur when trying to use "Save
As" with a shell worksheet.
* [412091] Fixed bug in which folder comparison would fail to
identify matching pairs of files correctly.
* Fixed bug in which opening multiple documents with the same name
simultaneously would result in the documents' entries in the
Currently Open Documents list not having the proper path
qualifiers.
* [412215] Made a change so that underscore isn't auto-paired when
typing at the end of an inline link in Markdown documents (as
well as in some other similar contexts).
* Fixed bug in which items which were drawn truncated in sidebars
and the Multi-File Search sources list should have shown tooltips
for the full paths, but didn't.
* Made changes to improve performance when using "Save {As, A
Copy} to FTP/SFTP Server", primarily by using an existing
connection when possible.
* [412377] The HTML5 markup checker will no longer emit a warning
for Twitter card `meta name` attributes.
* Some applications (looking at *you*, Joplin) try to open BBEdit
by invoking `open -a /path/to/BBEdit.app` and including one or
more URLs on the command line. You *really* shouldn't do this,
but because we're such nice people, BBEdit will try to open
anything in the argument list that looks like a file path or
`file://` URL, as long as it actually exists on disk.
* Fixed bug in which turning *on* the "Counterpart button"
navigation bar preference would cause the Counterpart button to
appear in scratchpad documents (where it has no business being).
* [413733] Made a change so that the "`--resume`" option to
`bbedit(1)` behaves as desired when using iTerm 3.4 or later.
* Corrected the appearance of the Setup window toolbar when
running on macOS 11.
* [414358] Fixed bug in which encoding errors encountered during a
"Reopen Using Encoding" operation would report an inappropriate
additional error alert.
* Fixed bug in which application state restoration would attempt
to connect to remote FTP/SFTP servers even when it was not
necessary in order to reopen a remote document.
*fin*
