Good afternoon,
Another pre-release build of BBEdit 15.0.2 is now available.
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/15.0.2_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 <sup...@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 previous 15.0.2 release notification:
================================================================================
version 15.0.2 (15A93) 2024-03-12
Additions
---------
o (none in this build)
Changes
-------
* When double-clicking on a variable in PHP code, the entire
variable name is selected, including the delimiter. If desired,
the previous behavior can be restored with an expert preference:
`defaults write com.barebones.bbedit DoubleClickSelectsVariables_PHP -bool NO`
Fixes
-----
* Worked around unexpected macOS behavior in which "Bring All to
Front" would cause the front window to become inactive.
* Fixed bug in which the Lua language module didn't correctly
handle strings which used `\z` to escape interstitial whitespace
and line breaks.
* Added the `function` keyword to the Lua keyword list.
* AX: corrected tab order in the cursor position display popover.
* AX: corrected accessibility title of the cursor position
display, so that it reports the current cursor position (line and
column).
* AX: Corrected labeling in the Pattern Playground window for
improved VoiceOver annotation.
* AX: Set an accessible label for the `#!` (shebang) menu, so that
VoiceOver narrates something halfway useful.
* Fixed bug in which Search menu commands weren't targeted
correctly when the Live Search view was open and focused.
* Adjusted the configuration for Solargraph (the default Ruby
language server) to request diagnostics from the server.
* Automatic workspace detection will recognize `.solargraph.yml`
as a Ruby project workspace root, in the absence of a `Rakefile`.
* Moved the "`AIWorksheetStripQuotesWhenCopying`" over to expert
preferences so that it appears in the list there.
* "Open Selection" will remove quotes and surrounding a selected
text before attempting to use the selection to locate a file.
* Made a change to the Grep search mechanics so that they will
copy the text of captured ranges immediately when a match is
found during an interactive search. This ensures correctness of
substitutions in case the document is edited between when the
search is made and when the replacement is applied.
* Changes to guard against stale cursor display when switching
between preference panes.
* AX: When VoiceOver is active, "Balance while Typing" will no
longer manipulate the selection range when you type a closing
delimiter, and the `FlashBalancePointsWhenNavigating` expert
preference (which is on by default) does not do so. This resolves
confusing narration behavior in typing and right-arrow keyboard
navigation over balanceable delimiters.
* Fixed crash which would occur when opening the Find or
Multi-File Search windows with the Jump Points palette open.
* Fixed bug in which the source summary in a new text factory
didn't update as sources were changed.
* Modified the description of the "Process Lines Containing" text
factory operation to avoid using the word "Copy", which might be
taken to imply a clipboard operation where none exists.
* Added `:first-child` to the list of CSS functions, thus correcting its color.
* Fixed bug in which manual path entry in the working copy chooser
(for git and svn) didn't actually update the selected path.
* If an error occurs while fetching Subversion revisions for the
menu in the navigation bar, avoid bringing up the Subversion log
at that point (which only interrupts the process and misdirects
the comparison if an item gets chosen).
* Fixed a crash which would occur when certain file system changes
took place while a disk browser was open and displaying items
from the affected directory(ies).
* Fixed -50 error which would occur when using the "Append to
BBEdit Scratchpad" service and the application was not running,
*and* the "Scratchpad" document was the only document left open
when previously quitting the application.
* Corrected syntax checker reporting for use of `in` attribute in
HTML5 documents.
* Fixed crash which would occur when using Ctl-C with Emacs
keyboard emulation *and* the status window enabled.
* Made a change to prevent misbehavior when enumerating a project
and the same directory appeared multiple times at the top level.
* AX: VO-M works when focus is in the sidebar, to open the
contextual menu.
* Fixed error reported when trying to run a text factory
containing a "Normalize Spaces" step.
* Fixed bug in which Markdown images and links with empty
descriptions (or alt text) weren't colored.
* Fixed crash which would occur when using the Functions palette
with certain languages, *and* a callout appeared at the very
beginning of the file.
* Fixed bug in which leaving the path field blank when connecting
in an FTP/SFTP panel would cause BBEdit to attempt to change the
working directory to "/", rather than the default login directory
(whether $HOME or otherwise).
* Fixed bug in which changing the media type setting in a live
preview window didn't tell the web view, so there was no visible
difference in documents with applicable `@media` CSS directives.
* Fixed bug in which the commands after "Lorem Ipsum" on the
Edit/Insert menu weren't available in Free Mode.
* Added a couple of missing entries to the default format profile;
and when pretty printing an HTML5 file, any elements missing from
the profile are treated similarly to `<div>`.
* Made a change so that "endless" Ruby methods don't confuse the
function scanner.
* Fixed garbage text that would sometimes occur when using Replace
All via AppleScript on a subset of the document's text.
* Fixed a memory leak when parsing Markdown documentation returned
by language servers for display in the completion and
parameter/symbol help panels.
* Fixed bug in which choosing "Other" from the text encoding menu
in the status bar would present the encoding panel twice.
*fin*

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
