Good morning folks,
We're currently working on another maintenance update to BBEdit
12 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/12.1.2_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 <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 previous pre-release build:

Fixes
-----
* Made some changes to further improve performance in the common
case of loading an ASCII or UTF-8 file; improvements are
generally around 2x and should be most noticeable on very large
files.
* Made a change to improve performance when generating information
for the Functions menu.
* Made a change to fix a "should never happen" crash which seems
to occur when adding an item to the Recent Documents list.
* [353212] Fixed a bug in which the bezel alerts (used for Wrap
Around notifications and other purposes) would leak a
window each
time, leading to strange effects like "phantom" windows in
Mission Control.
* [353249] Fixed bug in which the Markdown tokenizer was confused
by empty URL references (e.g. `[](https://www.barebones.com/)`)
in such a way that editing in certain subsequent parts of the
file would cause syntax coloring to get out of whack. This change
also fixes a bug in the Markdown syntax coloring in which links
with an empty description or URL were not properly
recognized and
colored.
* Fixed cases in which the Markdown language module would not
necessarily rescan the appropriate range of text when recomputing
syntax coloring during edits in certain places. (This
doesn't fix
a specific bug report; but may resolve some reported issues.)
* [353277] Made a change so that irrelevant controls are not shown
in the font panel's tool bar. (This affects View -> Text Display
-> Show Fonts and Preferences -> Editor Defaults.)
