Good afternoon folks, We're currently working on a maintenance update to BBEdit 14 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/14.6.1_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 14.6 public release: ============================================================================ version 14.6.1 (14D21) (10-05-2022) Additions --------- o (none in this build) Changes ------- o (none in this build) Fixes ----- * Enabled ligatures by default for [Monoid](https://github.com/larsenwork/monoid) and Monoisome. * [451411] Fixed the likely source of a submitted crash log. * Made a change to work around Radar 100658961, which would sporadically cause inconsistent enabling of buttons in the Find window (and probably other things too). * The application will honor the value of `NSMenuShouldUpdateSettingsTitle` when running on macOS 13.0 and later, if you're into that sort of thing. * [451414, 451428] Restored control of font smoothing based on the old expert preferences (as well as the `AppleFontSmoothing` system preference for which there is no GUI in macOS 12.0 and later). * [451415] Corrected display of zero-width and certain non-breaking space characters. Since the default OS glyph substitution doesn't display anything terribly useful when "Show Invisibles" is turned off, these characters will always be displayed as though "Show Invisibles" is turned on (a gray vertical bar for zero-width characters, and a red bullet for alternative spaces). * [451425] Fixed regression in which changes to a project's site settings weren't actually saved into the project. * [451403] Start Xcode project discovery on a background thread, so that if Spotlight is completely broken such that `mds` is hung and blocking API calls, the application won't hang at startup. * [451408] Fixed bug in which clicking on a color swatch in the Preferences window and then bringing an editing window to the front would fail to disconnect the Preferences swatch from the color panel, such that changes in the color panel would affect *both* the editing window (intentional) *and* the setting in the Preferences window (undesired). *fin* The package can be downloaded from our web server: <https://s3.amazonaws.com/BBSW-download/BBEdit-14.6.1_14D21.dmg> Enjoy, R. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
