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:

Fixes
-----
* [414815] Fixed bug in which a per-language soft-wrap indentation
setting was not correctly applied when opening an existing
document.
* [414860] Made a change to fix a reported crash when saving an
FTP/SFTP document back to the server, possibly while overwriting
a document of the same name after using "Save [a Copy] to
FTP/SFTP Server".
* [414821] Fixed bug in which an encoding mismatch reported during
save of a document to an FTP/SFTP server would mess up the
process, usually saving the document even when "Cancel" had been
clicked, and in any case leaving the application stuck with a
"Saving to server" progress panel.
* [414199] Fixed bug in which file filter terms based on the file
name and/or path components (i.e. most of them) did not work
correctly when filtering the contents of compressed archives.
* [414984] Made a change so that if the shell unexpectedly exits
behind a shell worksheet (such that it indicates `<shell not
running>`), the next command will restart the shell.
* [413942] Fixed a layout bug in the completion panel which would
cause the names of completion items to be truncated prematurely.
* [413765] Fixed a layout bug in the completion panel when the
available completions were all very narrow and/or there was only a
single completion available, when running on macOS 11.0.
* [415124] Added default block-comment delimiters to the PHP
language module.
* [DOC] Worked around a bug in macOS 11.0 (FB8925588) in which the
OS appears to want to create a phantom "BBEdit" folder in the
user's `Documents` folder, with an alias (probably a symlink)
pointing to a nonexistent `BBEdit Backups` folder.
If for some reason you need quick access to your BBEdit Backups
folder (which is *only* created and populated if you previously
turned on historical backups in the Text Files preferences), you can
get to it by choosing "Document Backups" from the Folders submenu of
the BBEdit application menu, or from the list in the "Folders"
toolbar item in the Setup window.
* The Expert Preferences help is now exclusively served on our web
site, at
https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/ExpertPreferences.html.
The button in the "Expert" preferences pane will take you there,
as will the Expert Preferences link in the help book.

Enjoy,
R.
