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/13.5.5_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 BBEdit 13.5.4 public release:

Changes
-------
* (none in this build)
Fixes
-----
* [416963] Worked around a performance bug introduced by macOS Big
Sur which would cause unnecessary extra drawing work to be done
in the sidebar, even during something as simple as blinking the
insertion point.
* [416256] Corrected fold generation for function bodies in
languages backed by codeless language modules that use a function
pattern with an explicit `function` capture group.
* [416718] Fixed bug in which wildcard language mappings were
incorrectly tagged when cached, which would subsequently cause
problems with similar-but-different filename mappings.
* Fixed a bug coloring comments in the Swift language module.
* BBEdit will now save backup copies of its sleep state and
crash-recovery snapshots, to guard against potential cases where
the default copies aren't available.
* [417105] Fixed bug in which the "Zap Gremlins" text factory
operation would report an error if "Replace with HTML Entity" was
selected.
