[ANN] BBEdit 14.6.7 (14D83) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good afternoon folks,

We're currently working on a maintenance update to BBEdit 14 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/14.6.7_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 14.6.6 public release:

Fixes
-----

* [463730] Fixed crash which would occur when processing
plain-text LSP completion documentation when running on macOS 11
or earlier.

* [464522] Corrected appearance of text in the license panel when
Dark Mode is in effect.

* [464444] Made a change so that the Git branch status navigation
bar item doesn't spend any time updating itself at application
activation if it's not visible (as is the case for any document
not in a Git repository).

* [464720] Fixed bug in which "Remove Comments" would delete the
last character of the document when performed with no selection
range; this created a problem if the document ended with a
closing `</html>` element not followed by whitespace or a line
break.

* [464862] Improve legibility of provisional inline input (such as
combining accents) when in dark mode.

* [464872] Fixed bug in which the live match count in the Find
window did not correctly update after a "Replace" operation
(including "Replace All" and "Replace & Find").

* [465705] Fixed bug in which clicking on a line in the results
list after "Find All" would beep, in cases where the search text
specified a color.

* [465108] Quieted errors reported from use of the `allow`
attribute in HTML5 `iframe` elements.

* [466243] Fixed bug in which Zip archives written out of order
(with files appearing in the archive before their parent
directory) were not read correctly.

* [467518] Fixed stall which would occur when running certain
script processes from the "Commands" panel (but worked OK when
run directly from the Scripts menu; go figure).

* [455725] Made a change to invalidate the Open File by Name
directory cache more aggressively in some situations (such as
when switching a Git branch), which will improve the accuracy of
searching in the wake of such events.

* [467820, 467831] Fixed crash which would occur when opening a
document from a Zip archive while running on certain versions of
macOS.
