[ANN] BBEdit 13.1.2 (414047) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good afternoon,

We're currently working on a maintenance update to BBEdit 13.1
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/13.1.2_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 <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 pre-release build:

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

Fixes
-----

* [392926] Fixed a bug in which the entry for the "Run Unix
Command" submenu was not present in the Menus & Shortcuts
preferences, so that item could not be hidden if desired.

* [392943] Fixed bug in which opening a suffix-less file using the
built-in FTP/SFTP support would open it outside of the
application, or into a text window without recognizing that it
had been opened from a remote source.

* [393021] Restored the ability of the Unix Shell Script language
module to guess the language when the filename extension is
absent or insufficient.

* [392875] Fixed bug in which quoted PHP heredoc, and PHP nowdoc
delimiters would interfere with correct folding.

* Fixed bug in PHP syntax coloring when processing quoted PHP
heredoc (and nowdoc) delimiters.

* [393002, 393005] Fixed bug in Unix Shell Script language
support, in which strings containing variable expansions would
end prematurely if the expansion was immediately followed
by an
escaped quotation mark.

* [393108] Added some armor plating at the site of a
nonreproducible crash during "Find in Reference".

* Improved behavior in the Multi-File Search window: if you check
the "Open Text Documents" or "Open Editing Windows" item, BBEdit
remembers that you did so, and on subsequent invocations of the
search window, the top-level item itself is checked.

* If you check an item under "Open Text Documents" in the
Multi-File Search window, on subsequent invocations in the
window, the appropriate item under "Open Text Documents"
will be
checked (assuming the document is still open), rather than under
"Open Editing Windows".

* Fixed bug in which trying to save a local copy of a "synthetic"
document (one opened from a source not actually backed by a disk
file, such as the result of using an `https` URL with the
`bbedit` tool or Open File by Name) would fail.

* Fixed bug in which the Live Search status would indicate
"Searching..." after clearing the search string.

* [393040, 393237] Made a change so that if the SFTP service
unexpectedly quits while BBEdit is waiting to receive data, the
application will no longer stall forever while waiting for data
to arrive. (There is a specific error code for this case.)

* [393040, 393237] Fixed a case in which the application could
conceivably wait forever for a response from an SFTP server while
sending or waiting for data.

* [393342] Restored completion in the Unix Shell Script language
module to working order.

* [393065] Fixed a bug in which absolute references to page
resources were not resolved correctly (relative to the site root)
when using "Preview in BBEdit" with a correctly configured
project.

* [393431] Fixed bug in which folder-backed menu items which were
symlinks to items outside of their respective support folders
would fail to display their paths in the "Go" command window.

* [393285, 393524] Fixed bug in the lipsum generator in which
generating paragraphs with `<p>` separators would subsequently
cause individual word or sentence generation to have each element
wrapped in `<p>` separators as well.
