Good afternoon folks, We're currently working on a maintenance update to BBEdit 15 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/15.1.2_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 15.1.1 public release: ============================================================================ version 15.1.2 (15B31) 2024-07-08 Additions --------- o (none in this build) Changes ------- o (none in this build) Fixes ----- * Fixed a bug in which autorecovery didn't work as intended in some limited situations where the document was already open (as could happen with state restoration). * Added `.swiftinterface` as a default filename extension for Swift. * Added `any` and `some` to the Swift keyword list. * Fixed bug in which turning on the `Editor_AlwaysOpenQuickFind` expert preference would inappropriately also make the sidebar visible. * Fixed internal exception which would occur when trying to open a project or notebook, and the file system permissions didn't permit access. * Made a change to the HTML guesser so that excessively large files aren't eligible for guesswork. (If it opens as plain text, give it an appropriate filename extension, or manually change the language setting in the status bar.) * Added missing `sub` selector to the CSS syntax coloring. * Fixed regression in which dragging an image into an untitled HTML document would not insert anything. * Updated the built-in PCRE2 library, which includes corrections to `\b`, `\w`, and friends when matching Unicode. * Fixed bug in which programmatic window move/resize (such as setting the `bounds` property using AppleScript) would result in drawing glitches in cases where the operation moved the window to another screen as well as changing its shape. * Corrected the default source format profile entry for `<span>` so that it formats as an inline element, as intended. * Fixed bug in which using the Option key to bypass the "Process Lines Containing" dialog box did not correctly preserve the "do not contain" setting, if it had been previously turned on. * Fixed bug in which completion symbols with backslashes in their names would display with line breaks and other inappropriate characters in situations where the backslash was followed by something like "r" or "n". * Fixed clipping of below-baseline characters in some fonts with oddball metrics (such as underscores in Courier New 11). * Fixed bug in which selecting an SVG file in a Zip or tarball browser would not display its contents. * The "Go to Line" panels will now disregard commas and periods in entered line numbers, because that's apparently a thing. * Adjusted the Entities floater so that the list is unable to scroll horizontally, which prevents it from twitching when a horizontal-scroll gesture occurs while the mouse is over the list. * Fixed bug in which attempting to change editing options for a soft-wrapped document would fail in cases where the document also had a rectangular selection. * Made a change to allow processing of bidirectional text during layout and drawing, which corrects rendering behavior with right-to-left text. * Fixed bug in which double-clicking on an inline fold indicator would not expand the fold in cases where the indicator was within the selection range. * Fixed a concurrency bug which would (rarely, and sporadically) cause a crash during startup. *fin* The package can be downloaded from our web server: <https://s3.amazonaws.com/BBSW-download/BBEdit-15.1.2_15B31.dmg> Enjoy, R. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
