[ANN] BBEdit 12.6.5 (412087) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good afternoon 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 the previous 12.6.5 pre-release:

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

version 12.6.5 (412087) (2019-06-05)

* 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
-------

* [370794] Made a change to quiet a -50 alert which would occur
when an invalid soft wrap mode was (somehow) stored in a
document's saved state.

* Made a change to improve the fidelity of color roundtripping
when editing colors in saved editor color schemes.

* [371335] Added `null_resettable` and `null_unspecified` to the
Objective-C/C++ keyword list.

* Added `char8_t` to the C++/Objective-C++ keyword list.

* [370099] Made a change so that `SSH_ASKPASS` and `SUDO_ASKPASS`
are configured for `#!` scripts and shell processes that
are run
from within BBEdit. This allows such operations to fetch an SSH
password from the keychain or prompt for it as necessary; and
`sudo` operations in `#!` scripts will likewise prompt for a
password, just as in shell worksheets. Consequently, `git` and
`svn` operations that may require an SSH password have a greater
chance of success than before.

* Reworked the tooltip mechanics so that the displayed tooltips
are accurate for where the mouse is within the window at any
given time (including over individual items in the sidebar).

* Made a change so that tooltips for file names in the sidebar are
displayed only if a given file's name is not unique in the list.
