[ANN] BBEdit 12.6.5 (412085) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

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/12.6.5_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 previous 12.6.5 pre-release:

============================================================================

version 12.6.5 (412085) (2019-05-28)

* This version of BBEdit requires macOS 10.12.6 or later. It will
not run on previous versions of macOS or Mac OS X.

Additions
---------

* (none in this build)

Changes
-------

* When doing CamelCase navigation using Control-{left,right}-arrow,
navigation (including selection extension, if you are using the
Shift key) will treat an underscore as a boundary. If you preferred
the previous behavior, this is controllable with an expert
preference:

`defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
CamelCaseNavigationIncludesUnderscores -bool YES`

Fixes
-----

* [371123] If a folder-backed menu (Scripts, Clippings,
Stationery, Text Filters) is hidden, BBEdit will no longer
attempt to populate it when the system tries to match a keyboard
equivalent. This is a significant performance win if you had
previously hidden the Clippings menu but somehow managed to keep
around an enormous Clippings folder.

* [371123] Made a change to significantly (by orders of magnitude)
improve the performance of fetching stored keyboard equivalents
for items in folder-backed menus (Scripts, Clippings, Text
Filters, Stationery). So if you _do_ have a huge Clippings
folder, the first use of a keyboard equivalent (for any menu
command) should no longer cause the application to stall
quite so
painfully.

* [115648, 371187] Fixed bug in which the internal SFTP client
would crash if a file transfer (upload or download) timed out.
This would typically happen when using a very slow data
connection to the server.

* [371226] Fixed bug in which the Software Update window was
allowed to be resized to an unusably small shape.
