Good { morning, afternoon, evening },
The 10.5 public beta's rolling right along -- thanks to everyone
who's taken the time to try it out and let us know how it's
working, for better or for worse. :-)
A new build is available, with an assortment of fixes for things
that turned up in the previous beta release. (For more
information about the previous release, please see the post at
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/fYco37zwhDE/97DJnVhsT2AJ>.)
Most of these correspond to fixes and changes to work in
progress; but as always there are also fixes for bugs in what's
currently in general release.
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. :-)
Following is a summary of the changes in the software since the
previous build. 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 -- there are a lot of them,
and 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.
============================================================================
version 10.5 (3231) (11/13/2012)
*** The system requirements for BBEdit have changed with version 10.
Mac OS X 10.6 is now required (10.6.8 or later recommended).
*** BBEdit 10.5 contains extensive internal rework; the primary goal
is to achieve proper appearance on Macs with the high-resolution
"Retina" displays, but the opportunity was also taken to remove
unnecessary code, and to effect various cosmetic and usability
improvements. There will be some drawing glitches and
fit-and-finish issues; please report anything that you run into
that falls into that category (as well as any other
functional bugs
that you may encounter in new or changed features).
Additions
---------
o (none in this build)
Changes
-------
* [DOC] In addition to showing counterparts, the "Counterparts"
navigation bar item now shows files that are in the same
directory as the active document (as long as it exists on disk).
Fixes
-----
* [252262] Shell worksheet views get Last Saved and Text
Statistics in the status bar.
* [253768] Holding-down the Option key when double-clicking,
pressing the `Return` or `Enter` keys, clicking the Open button,
or closing your eyes and thinking of ponies, will open an
additional FTP/SFTP browser window if the selected item is a
directory. (Just like it says in the manual.)
* [253945] Fixed bug in which the application didn't look for
`Application Support/BBEdit/PreferenceData/` in your
Dropbox the
way the documentation said it did.
To recap the rules, the following locations are used, in order:
* If `Dropbox/Application Support/BBEdit/PreferenceData/`
exists, BBEdit will store outboard preferences files there.
* If `~/Library/BBEdit/` exists, preferences files will live
there. (This is the factory default location for BBEdit 10.0
and later.)
* If
`~/Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.PreferenceData/`
exists, it will be used. Note that the location in
`~/Library/Preferences/` is *only* for compatibility with
legacy (9.x and earlier) BBEdit installations. If you
have an
active `com.barebones.bbedit.PreferenceData` folder there,
you should move and rename it to `~/Library/BBEdit/` or move
and rename it to `Dropbox/Application
Support/BBEdit/PreferenceData/`, as appropriate.
* If no appropriate folder is found, BBEdit will create
`~/Library/BBEdit/` and store preference data there.
This *only* applies to the folder containing non-preference data
files. The `com.barebones.bbedit.plist` file is managed
entirely by
the system, and you should not move or rename it. (There's
no way to
share preferences settings using Dropbox, in other words.)
* [254018] Fixed bug in function generation for Fortran (yes,
really) which caused `Go -> Functions -> End` to fail on
the last
function in the file.
* [NFR] [253804] Worked around a suspected bug in the OS in which
images were not drawn in controls or toolbars or status
bars or
navigation bars until the application was relaunched.
* [NFR] Fixed cosmetic glitch when tracking the close widget in
the Windows floater.
* [NFR] Fixed (partially) the tendency in the Windows floater to
select other rows when dragging up (or down) off the close widget
while clicking on it.
* [NFR] [253839] Fixed regression in which menu items were
inappropriately enabled while a sheet was up.
* [NFR] [253807] Fixed bug in which the vertical split cursor in
project windows whose lists were long enough to have a scrollbar
would lie, and the width could not be adjusted while the split
cursor was visible.
* [NFR] [253882] Fixed regression in which counterparts weren't
found unless the originating file existed in a directory
with one
of the supported search names.
* [NFR] [252447] Fixed bug in which clicking on a remote
(FTP/SFTP) file entry in a project would cause a "secret" second
copy to be opened, leading to all sorts of unpleasantness later.
* [NFR] [253979] Fixed bug in which a selected preview filter was
not applied if the previewed document's language was "(none)".
* [NFR] [254021] When Page Up and Page Down are allowed to move
the insertion point, using either key when the respective
top or
bottom of the document is already in view will place the
insertion point at the beginning or end (respectively) of the
document.
* [NFR] [254113] Fixed a regression in which colors inserted using
the Colors floater were inappropriately quoted in CSS
blocks (and
inappropriately unquoted otherwise).
