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 <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. Here is the list of changes made since the 14.6.7 public release: ============================================================================ version 14.6.8 (14D87) (2023-09-20) Additions --------- o (none in this build) Changes ------- o (none in this build) Fixes ----- * Fixed a bug in which using "Preview in BBEdit" on a document which didn't support syntax coloring (such as "Text File" or "(none)") would generate an empty preview. * [464282] Fixed bug in which backspacing over certain zero-width characters which were displayed as gremlins would not work correctly, when "Show Invisibles" was turned off. * [469384] For SSH connections, suppress any `LocalCommand` config directives, which will cause a login failure because sftp does not like things on standard output which are not protocol data. * [468514] Changed "a warning" to "an error" at an important point in the `bbresults(1)` man page. * [468613] Fixed bug in which the "Forget Item" button in the alert presented for a missing item chosen from the "Open Recent" menu would not always forget. ("Pepperidge Farm remembers...") * [470054, 470115] Fixed bug in which a couple of Search menu commands would behave strangely when applied to an editing window that was in full-screen mode with the Find window in front of it (but without focus, due to having clicked in the editing window). * Worked around a regression in macOS 14 which prevented the About window credits from displaying until the mouse passed over the text area. * [470216] Unicode "soft hyphens" do not ordinarily display, but if you turn on "Show Invisibles", BBEdit will present them using an em-dash in the all-purpose invisibles color. *fin* The package can be downloaded from our web server: <https://s3.amazonaws.com/BBSW-download/BBEdit-14.6.8_14D87.dmg> Enjoy, R. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
