Good afternoon folks,
A new pre-release 15.1.2 build 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/15.1.2_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 version:
============================================================================
version 15.1.2 (15B45) 2024-08-16
Additions
---------
o (none in this build)
Changes
-------
o (none in this build)
Fixes
-----
* [484663] Fixed bug in which line comments immediately after an
unqualified JavaScript function's signature would cause the
function scanner to omit that function from the menu.
* Fixed bug in which per-document print settings were not
correctly loaded from saved document state across invocations of
the print panel, when running on recent macOS versions.
* [483950] Fixed bug in which the active document would be marked
as changed during a multi-file replace or Text Factory operation,
in cases where the actual document being changed was open in the
same window (but not active).
* [485840] Fixed bug in which creating a project collection by
right-clicking on the top-level project item and choosing "New
Collection" from the contextual menu would create the collection
at the wrong level (and fail to retain it in the project).
* [486065] Corrected enabling of items on the View menu which
correspond to usable contextual menu commands in the sidebar
(when it has keyboard focus).
* [486015] Fixed bug in which sync scrolling in Differences
windows didn't sync scroll when the application was in the
background.
* Changes to certain site deployment settings will reset the
upload state, so that subsequent deployment properly redeploys
all of the files.
* Made a change so that the FTP client code will always
unconditionally log errors. As before, extended logging can be
turned on using `FTPEnableLogging`, but this should be done only
on the advice of Tech Support.
* [486213] Made a change to improve the accuracy of identical-file
detection when performing folder comparisons, in cases where the
"[Ignore] All [Spaces]" option was turned on and the files
differed only in white space.
* Worked around bug in macOS 14 Stage Manager, whose primary
manifestation was causing "Go to Line" to do its operation in the
window *behind* the active document's window.
* [486344] Change the project window display to "No Editor" if a
non-displayable file is selected in the Project section of the
sidebar.
* Fixed a logic error which led to mismanagement of file filter
settings in the Multi-File Search and Find Differences windows.
* [486290] Disable scrolling acceleration modifiers when using
menu key equivalents for the text view scrolling commands, in
case one of them contains an acceleration modifier (Command or
Option).
* Made layout adjustments to the Entities floater so as to avoid
column title truncation when highlighting different sort orders.
* Made a change to nominally improve word counting performance
with a rectangular selection spanning a large number of lines.
* Made a change to significantly improve performance and reduce
memory consumption when counting words in very large rectangular
selections.
* Made a change to slightly improve text measuring performance
(for selection calculations and other purposes).
* Corrected the display title of the "always show the live search
bar" expert preference.
* Fixed bug in which multiple untitled documents with the same
name would erroneously add a "/" path qualifier to the displayed
name.
* [487235] Made a change so that the application quits when asked
to by the Shortcuts "quit app" operation.
* [487321] Worked around macOS API bug which caused mishandling of
FTP listings which contained UTF-8 file names.
* [488074] Made a correctness change regarding the handling of
data-load tasks associated with a live preview window.
* [487933, 488006] Worked around OpenAI breaking API change which
caused an error when attempting to save an AI worksheet (and which
also prevented autosaving from working for AI worksheets).
NB: This involved making a non-backward-compatible change to the
on-disk representation. 15.1.2 and later can read old AI worksheet
files, but 15.1.1 and earlier will not be able to read worksheet
files created by 15.1.2 and later.
