[ANN] BBEdit 12.0 (398043) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

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: .


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  and we will deal 
with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on 
topic and productive for all list members.




version 12.0 (398043)   (2017-09-08)

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.
