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/14.6.8_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 previous 14.6.8 pre-release build: ============================================================================ version 14.6.8 (14D93) (2023-10-10) Additions --------- o (none in this build) Changes ------- o (none in this build) Fixes ----- * [470216] Restore the pre-14.6 behavior of unconditionally displaying `U+00AD (SOFT HYPHEN)` characters. While not technically correct, it's (at the moment) better than the alternatives currently available. * Added default settings to work around the failure of `ruby-lsp` and `deno` language servers to quit correctly when asked. * [470576] Fixed bug in which some project-specific commands were inappropriately added to the contextual menu for instaprojects. * [470563] Fixed bug in which trying to create a new note from the selection in a text document would report a -50 error if the default notebook didn't exist (or was in use by another computer). * [470736] Worked around macOS 14 bug (FB13224680) which caused tick marks to be drawn in the wrong place in scrollbars. * Made changes to work around FB13219490, a regression in macOS 14 which adversely affects application performance by incorrectly reporting which areas of a document window need redrawing. * [471167] Fixed bug in which the last item in the Grep cheat sheet was present in the Find window, but absent everywhere else (such as the Pattern Playground window). *fin* The package can be downloaded from our web server: <https://s3.amazonaws.com/BBSW-download/BBEdit-14.6.8_14D93.dmg> Enjoy, R. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
