Good { morning, afternoon, evening }, The announcement of a pre-release version on the list may come as a surprise to some of you. :-) When preparing maintenance updates (which primarily consist of bug fixes, with few to no new features), we're going to post notification of the new versions to this list, so that anyone who's interested can take the new build for a spin.
Note that these are _pre-release_ versions. 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 last public release. 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. 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. ============================================================================ version 9.6.2 (2879) (12/13/2010) Additions --------- o (none in this build) Changes ------- o (none in this build) Fixes ----- * [191540] Failing to reopen a document when starting up (or restoring from sleep state) will no longer cause the entire process to be abandoned. * Results (syntax check, etc) contained entirely within a single file are now generated as a flat list, rather than a top-level node for the file with a list of subordinate items. * Results windows from common tasks (markup syntax, SCM operations, and a few others) are now singletons, whose contents are replaced with the results from the most recent invocation. If there are no results, BBEdit will close the window. * [196689] Fixed bug in which list items which should have been scrolled fully into view were not. * Added factory default mapping for ".erb" to "Ruby in HTML". (If you're updating from a previous version, you will need to add the mapping yourself, in the "Languages" preferences.) * Added mappings to the application's property list so that .erb and .json are known by the system as being editable with BBEdit. * Closed another loophole in app state restoration, when SCM results (and other non-search results) windows are part of the saved state. * [197356] Restored the "Unix Scripting Tools" button palette to working order. - [193444] Fixed a bug in the markdown module which prevented coloring of indented link defs. * [197692] Fixed formatting goof in Update Site Images results reporting. * Fixed a small handful of memory leaks. * Corrected selection range after HTML/XML Un/Comment. * Restored previous behavior in SCM output log files (most recent entry header is now selected and scrolled into view). * [197701] Fixed bug in which the default site was checked when doing "Check Site Links", even if you selected a different site. * When you click on a displayed file name in a project file list, BBEdit will check to see if its contents look like text and open it if so (in the case where the file's metadata are insufficient). - Added support for the `<s>` tag as specified by the HTML5 spec at [whatwg.org](http://www.whatwg.org/) - Updated the list of HTML5's legal values for the `rel` attribute on `<a>`, `<area>`, and `<link>` tags, based on a union of the values provided on the [WHATWG](http://www.whatwg.org/) and [microformats.org](http://www.microformats.org/) lists (per a recommendation of a helpful member of the HTML5 working group). * [197643] `find`, `replace`, and `grep substitution` scripting events which are targeted at a text document will now be delegated to the text object of the document. * [197430] Fixed bug in which file filters with date terms didn't work correctly. * [196620, 197599] Armorplated the site of a reported crash in order to prevent future occurrences. * [197727] Fixed bug in which services returning UTF-16 data would have half of it ignored. * When providing data to services, the application now provides UTF-8 natively, as well as UTF-16 and Mac Roman (the latter is skipped if the text being provided contains Unicode glyphs that can't be mapped to Mac Roman). * Removed special-case handling of text and URL clippings. Drop a `.webloc` file on the application icon, and you'll get its XML. (Dragging text and URL clippings into editing views works as before.) =end= The package can be downloaded from our web server: <http://pine.barebones.com/seeding/bbedit-962_2879.dmg> Enjoy, R. -- Rich Siegel Bare Bones Software, Inc. <sie...@barebones.com> <http://www.barebones.com/> Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
