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 previous 13.5.3 pre-release build:

============================================================================

version 13.5.3 (415067) (2020-11-30)

Additions
---------

*       (none in this build)

Changes
-------

*       (none in this build)

Fixes
-----

*       When opening a document, or pasting text into an empty document,
        BBEdit will turn soft wrapping on if the document's average line
        length exceeds a suitable threshold. This helps preserve
        performance in the "I just pasted thirty megabytes of JSON into a
        new window" case.

*       Made a change to limit the maximum amount of text passed from an
        editing view's text selection range to the default search string
        of "Open File by Name".

*       [414710] Fixed bug in which using the "Text Options" command to
        set a document's language to `(none)` would not make the desired
        change.
