Good afternoon folks,

A new pre-release 15.1.2 build is now available.

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 previous pre-release version:

Fixes
-----

*       [484663] Fixed bug in which line comments immediately after an
        unqualified JavaScript function's signature would cause the
        function scanner to omit that function from the menu.
        
*       Fixed bug in which per-document print settings were not
        correctly loaded from saved document state across invocations of
        the print panel, when running on recent macOS versions.

*       [483950] Fixed bug in which the active document would be marked
        as changed during a multi-file replace or Text Factory operation,
        in cases where the actual document being changed was open in the
        same window (but not active).

*       [485840] Fixed bug in which creating a project collection by
        right-clicking on the top-level project item and choosing "New
        Collection" from the contextual menu would create the collection
        at the wrong level (and fail to retain it in the project).

*       [486065] Corrected enabling of items on the View menu which
        correspond to usable contextual menu commands in the sidebar
        (when it has keyboard focus).

*       [486015] Fixed bug in which sync scrolling in Differences
        windows didn't sync scroll when the application was in the
        background.

*       Changes to certain site deployment settings will reset the
        upload state, so that subsequent deployment properly redeploys
        all of the files.

*       Made a change so that the FTP client code will always
        unconditionally log errors. As before, extended logging can be
        turned on using `FTPEnableLogging`, but this should be done only
        on the advice of Tech Support.

*       [486213] Made a change to improve the accuracy of identical-file
        detection when performing folder comparisons, in cases where the
        "[Ignore] All [Spaces]" option was turned on and the files
        differed only in white space.

*       Worked around bug in macOS 14 Stage Manager, whose primary
        manifestation was causing "Go to Line" to do its operation in the
        window *behind* the active document's window.

*       [486344] Change the project window display to "No Editor" if a
        non-displayable file is selected in the Project section of the
        sidebar.

*       Fixed a logic error which led to mismanagement of file filter
        settings in the Multi-File Search and Find Differences windows.

*       [486290] Disable scrolling acceleration modifiers when using
        menu key equivalents for the text view scrolling commands, in
        case one of them contains an acceleration modifier (Command or
        Option).

*       Made layout adjustments to the Entities floater so as to avoid
        column title truncation when highlighting different sort orders.

*       Made a change to nominally improve word counting performance
        with a rectangular selection spanning a large number of lines.

*       Made a change to significantly improve performance and reduce
        memory consumption when counting words in very large rectangular
        selections.

*       Made a change to slightly improve text measuring performance
        (for selection calculations and other purposes).

*       Corrected the display title of the "always show the live search
        bar" expert preference.

*       Fixed bug in which multiple untitled documents with the same
        name would erroneously add a "/" path qualifier to the displayed
        name.

*       [487235] Made a change so that the application quits when asked
        to by the Shortcuts "quit app" operation.

*       [487321] Worked around macOS API bug which caused mishandling of
        FTP listings which contained UTF-8 file names.

*       [488074] Made a correctness change regarding the handling of
        data-load tasks associated with a live preview window.

*       [487933, 488006] Worked around OpenAI breaking API change which
        caused an error when attempting to save an AI worksheet (and which
        also prevented autosaving from working for AI worksheets).

        NB: This involved making a non-backward-compatible change to the
        on-disk representation. 15.1.2 and later can read old AI worksheet
        files, but 15.1.1 and earlier will not be able to read worksheet
        files created by 15.1.2 and later.
