Good afternoon,
We're currently working on a maintenance update to BBEdit 15 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/15.0.2_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 15.0.1 public release:

Additions

Changes
-------
o (none in this build)
Fixes
-----
* [476596] Worked around unexpected macOS behavior in which "Bring
All to Front" would cause the front window to become inactive.
* [476674] Fixed bug in which the Lua language module didn't
correctly handle strings which used `\z` to escape interstitial
whitespace and line breaks.
* Added the `function` keyword to the Lua keyword list.
* AX: corrected tab order in the cursor position display popover.
* [476668] AX: corrected accessibility title of the cursor
position display, so that it reports the current cursor position
(line and column).
* AX: Corrected labeling in the Pattern Playground window for
improved VoiceOver annotation.
* [476444] Fixed bug in which Search menu commands weren't
targeted correctly when the Live Search view was open and
focused.
* Adjusted the configuration for Solargraph (the default Ruby
language server) to request diagnostics from the server.
* Automatic workspace detection will recognize `.solargraph.yml`
as a Ruby project workspace root, in the absence of a `Rakefile`.
* Moved the "`AIWorksheetStripQuotesWhenCopying`" over to expert
preferences so that it appears in the list there.
* [476723] Set an accessible label for the `#!` (shebang) menu, so
that VoiceOver narrates something halfway useful.
* [476764] "Open Selection" will remove quotes and surrounding a
selected text before attempting to use the selection to locate a
file.
* [476503] Made a change to the Grep search mechanics so that they
will copy the text of captured ranges immediately when a match is
found during an interactive search. This ensures correctness of
substitutions in case the document is edited between when the
search is made and when the replacement is applied.
* Changes to guard against stale cursor display when switching
between preference panes.
* When VoiceOver is active, "Balance while Typing" will no longer
manipulate the selection range when you type a closing delimiter,
and the `FlashBalancePointsWhenNavigating` expert preference
(which is on by default) does not do so. This resolves confusing
narration behavior in typing and right-arrow keyboard navigation
over balanceable delimiters.
* [476917] Fixed crash which would occur when opening the Find or
Multi-File Search windows with the Jump Points palette open.
* [476837] Fixed bug in which the source summary in a new text
factory didn't update as sources were changed.
* [476837] Modified the description of the "Process Lines
Containing" text factory operation to avoid using the word
"Copy", which might be taken to imply a clipboard operation where
none exists.
* Added `:first-child` to the list of CSS functions, thus correcting its color.
* [477036] Fixed bug in which manual path entry in the working
copy chooser (for git and svn) didn't actually update the
selected path.
* [477007] If an error occurs while fetching Subversion revisions
for the menu in the navigation bar, avoid bringing up the
Subversion log at that point (which only interrupts the process
and misdirects the comparison if an item gets chosen).
* [476855] Fixed a crash which would occur when certain file
system changes took place while a disk browser was open and
displaying items from the affected directory(ies).
* [476564] Fixed -50 error which would occur when using the
"Append to BBEdit Scratchpad" service and the application was not
running, *and* the "Scratchpad" document was the only document
left open when previously quitting the application.
* [477086] Corrected syntax checker reporting for use of `in`
attribute in HTML5 documents.
* [477162] Fixed crash which would occur when using Ctl-C with
Emacs keyboard emulation *and* the status window enabled.
* Made a change to prevent misbehavior when enumerating a project
and the same directory appeared multiple times at the top level.
* [477212] AX: VO-M works when focus is in the sidebar, to open
the contextual menu.
* [477230] Fixed error reported when trying to run a text factory
containing a "Normalize Spaces" step.
