Good { morning, afternoon, evening },
We're working on a major upgrade to BBEdit, and have decided to
make a pre-release version available to the BBEdit-Talk
discussion group.
*** Please note that 12.0 is not an automatic free upgrade. Your
license code for BBEdit 11 or older will not work, but you
should have no difficulty using BBEdit 12 in evaluation mode for
the duration of the standard 30-day evaluation period.
*** If you purchased BBEdit 11 very recently, or are about to do
so, there is no cause for alarm - we will announce free-upgrade
details and send license codes to eligible customers when the
new version is released.
*** You can use BBEdit 11.6.7 and 12.0 side-by-side for the
duration of the beta period, if you wish. (This is actually a
good idea, since you can cross-check any problems against the
old version while writing up a bug report.)
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. :-)
Following is a summary of changes since the most recent
pre-release build. Complete change notes for all of the
pre-release builds in this cycle are available here: <https://s3.amazonaws.com/BBSW-download/12.0_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 <supp...@barebones.com> and we will deal
with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on
topic and productive for all list members.

Fixes
-----
* [343296] Fixed the beep when opening an instaproject after
having previously used "Save Default Project Window" with the
editor view hidden.
* Made a change to sort file names containing ctags
definitions in
a more reasonable order.
* [NFR] Fixed a performance regression which would cause the
application to stall for a long time in cases where certain
application support folders had a very large number of items
(usually Clippings, and usually thousands).
* [NFR] [342741] Fixed regression in which collapsing the text
view splitter with the lower view active would scroll the
remaining view to the top, rather than to where it should have
scrolled.
* [NFR] Fixed regression in which the vertical scrollbar in the
lower view of a split editing view would stay hidden after a
split/unsplit/split cycle.
* [NFR] [343259] Fixed bug in which Services menu items provided
by the application were nonfunctional.
* [NFR] [343241] Fixed bug in which a very important button was
missing from the "Confirm Close" panel when closing an
instaproject with unsaved changes.
* [NFR] Fixed bug in which inserting (other than by typing) text
into the middle of auto-paired delimiters would clear the
pairing, so that subsequent typing of a paired close delimiter
would incorrectly insert an additional close delimiter.
