Good { morning, afternoon, evening },
We're working on an update to BBEdit 10.5 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. :-)
Following is a summary of the changes in the software since the
previous build. 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.
The change notes for the previous build are here:
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/q5V0RvZBGAg/UJ6IoSzl-boJ>,
and those fixes are included in this build.
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.
============================================================================
version 10.5.5 (3305) (2013-07-02)
Additions
---------
o (none in this build)
Changes
-------
* When starting the application, holding down the Command,
Control, and Shift keys will now give you the opportunity to
discard any existing auto-save state. You should do so with
extreme caution; discarding the auto-save state means that you
will *lose* any unsaved changes or untitled documents that were
previously remembered as part of the crash recovery mechanics.
* Made some cosmetic adjustments to the Line Numbers bar in
editing views.
* Fixed bug which would cause internal exceptions (and subsequent
strange behavior, like all menus being disabled) at startup on
certain systems. I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
* [270928] Fixed a bug in the `bbfind` tool in which it would fail
to report results back to standard output.
* [268045] The built-in software update mechanism now uses `https`
to connect to the update server for fetching update information,
and verifies the downloaded update before installation to guard
against tampering or corruption. This fixes `CVE-2013-3667`,
thanks to Chris Hickstein for the report.
* Made some cosmetic adjustments to the Cursor Position display
in editing view status bars.
* Made a change to the window geometry calculations so that
default diff results tiling is on the main screen again in
systems containing two (or more) screens of identical shape and
size.
* [212942] Fixed crash which would occur when opening a document
with saved state indicating a split view, but for which the split
ended up not being restored (possibly due to display geometry
changes).
* [NFR] [271144] Fixed incorrect hotspot in the reverse-arrow cursor.
