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/13.5.6_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 pre-release version:

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

version 13.5.6 (415115) (2021-04-12)

Additions
---------

*       (none in this build)

Changes
-------

*       (none in this build)

Fixes
-----

*       [420233] Made a change to reduce the amount of time required to
        start a multi-file search when one or more data sources was a
        collection of discrete files (such as a project, Xcode or
        otherwise).

*       [420370] Made a change to prevent a crash which could occur when
        saving a document opened via the built-in FTP/SFTP support, after
        the connection had previously been closed.

*       [420470] Fixed a pair of bugs that conspired to cause a crash,
        after following a fairly convoluted process that involved opening
        a document from an FTP/SFTP browser window and subsequently using
        "Save [a Copy] to FTP/SFTP Server" on the same server.

*       [420216] Fixed bug in connection management in the "Save to
        FTP/SFTP" panel which would cause the panel to connect to the
        wrong server when disconnecting from one server and reconnecting
        to a different server.

*       [420443] Fixed bug in which using the "Find Selected Text in
        <location>" menu command would report a -1708 error when the
        previously selected set of search sources consisted solely of
        "Open Editing Windows" or a subordinate window.

*       Added `NS_OPTIONS` to the keyword lists for Objective-{C,C++}.

*       [416740] Fixed bug in which Unicode characters which could not
        be mapped to Mac Roman were not always correctly reported when
        trying to save a file in that encoding. (And in cases where they
        weren't reported, they were usually mismapped.)

*       [420784/420811] Fixed bug in which dragging text from another
        application without holding the Option key down would, at the
        originating application's sole discretion, delete the text in the
        original.

*       Fixed bug in which the application did not correctly reopen
        previously open documents in cases where it was unable to restore
        a Sleep State file saved by a previous normal quit, but a Saved
        Application State file did exist.

*       [421056] Made a change to handle mis-encoded results from
        `perldoc` when using "Find in Reference".
