[ANN] BBEdit 13.0.2 (413039) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good afternoon folks,

We're currently working on another maintenance update to BBEdit
13 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/13.0.2_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 13.0.1 public release version:

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

version 13.0.2 (413039) (2019-10-21)

Additions
---------

o (none in this build)

Changes
-------

* [DOC] [376700] Patterns on the Grep Cheat Sheet are syntax
colored using the effective text color scheme. This works around
a bug in the OS (FB7347951) in which the dimmed gray color used
for the pattern sample was unreadable when "Reduce transparency"
was turned on in the system's Accessibility preferences.

If you would prefer to turn off pattern coloring in the
Grep Cheat
Sheet, you can do so with this Terminal command:

`defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
ColorPatternsInGrepCheatSheet -bool NO`

Fixes
-----

* [377089] Fixed a bug in which URL attribute values with multiple
entities would incorrectly trip the warning about needing
to be
encoded.

* Fixed bug in which any errors that occurred while connecting to
an FTP/SFTP server during state restoration would cause the rest
of the saved application state to be skipped. This usually
resulted in one or more documents not being reopened during
startup.

* [377136] Fixed bug in which insertion from the Clippings palette
wasn't possible while it was active and had keyboard focus.

* [376970] Made a change to improve performance when generating
disambiguated file names for use in the sidebar.

* [377375] Fixed a bug in which trying to open a file via the
built-in FTP/SFTP client would fail and report an error if the
file's name contained multi-byte-encoded UTF-8 characters.

* Quieted the "error 2" which would be reported when choosing the
"License" command in an App Store build and then cancelling the
app store login panel.

* [INT] When using "Contact Us" from the Help menu, Mac App Store
builds now include a line item to indicate such, as well as
subscription status.

* Fixed a bug in the Grep search pattern colorizer in which it
would not correctly color POSIX character class exclusions (e.g.
`[:^punct:]`).

* [376632] Made a change so that leading periods in the custom
filename extension mappings list don't confuse the OS when
we are
reporting a list of valid file types during a Save As operation.

* Corrected a misbehavior in which typing three delimiters in a
row (such as <code>\`\`\`</code> for Markdown, `'''` for
Python, or `"""`
for Python and Swift) would result in four delimiters with
the insertion
point in the middle. BBEdit will now insert the three delimiters
that you typed, and no more.

* [377139] Fixed a bug in which trying to use the "Install Command
Line Tools" command while i386 versions of the command-line tools
were installed would cause BBEdit to hang.

* [377139] In some cases it may not be possible to update the
command-line tools, even with authentication. If such a failure
occurs, BBEdit will alert you rather than failing silently.

* [377096, 377693] Fixed a bug in which font fallbacks didn't work
correctly in Pattern Playground windows; thus, glyphs which
weren't available in the default editing font wouldn't
appear in
playground windows.

* [377722] Fixed a bug in which the `ClippingsWorkInFindWindows`
expert preference wasn't honored (and in fact, clippings
insertion into the Find or Multi-File Search windows wasn't
possible even when the preference was enabled, which it is by
default).

* Mac App Store builds have a command on the Help menu: "Leave a
Review". If you've been enjoying BBEdit, please help us out by
choosing this command and leaving a review of BBEdit in the Mac
App Store.

* [377746] Fixed a couple of bugs which would conspire to set the
wrong colors and appearance when starting BBEdit 13 for the first
time, with custom color settings in effect from a previous
11.x/12.x version.
