Good { morning, afternoon, evening },
We're working on an update to BBEdit 10.5 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. :-)
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 -- 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 10.5.5 (3303) (2013-06-28)
Additions
---------
o (none in this build)
Changes
-------
* [DOC] When starting the application from somewhere other than
`/Applications/` (or `~/Applications/`), you're now offered the
opportunity to relocate it to `/Applications`. This
replaces the
old alert about running from the install image, and
provides a
better first-run experience as well. (This all only applies to
non-App Store builds.)
Fixes
-----
* [269767] Fixed a bug in which horizontal scrollbar calibration
would be incorrect when all of the lines in the file were the
same length, and the first line in the file was full of `NUL`
characters, and you weren't using Consolas for BBEdit as your
editing font.
* Fixed bug in which the `x-counterpart` variable in files would
cause a failure to find the counterpart when they were of
differing languages or names. Also added `Resources` as a search
directory for counterparts.
* [268398] Rewrote our custom cursors to use image-based
`NSCursor` instead of `CURS` resources, for great justice (and
correct appearance on retina displays).
* [269778] Since the contents of `*/Library/QuickTime/` seem to
exist only to crash applications, those plug-ins are now
prevented from loading into our address space.
* [182260] Application state snapshots now include the count of
untitled windows, to avoid confusion when creating new untitled
documents after starting up with saved state.
* [...] Made a change to prevent addition of a default filename
extension when doing a Save As or other operation which involved
generating a default file name, and the document name already
had an extension.
* Fixed bug in which closing the last document in an editing
window would not close the window in situations where multiple
documents had been selected in the window's sidebar.
* [270039] Fixed crash which would occur when closing a document
listed in the sidebar, after the sidebar item had been dragged
into a different order in the list. (At that point the item would
fail to update its name if the file's name on disk changed, as
well.)
* [269634] Fixed misspelled attribute name in the internal
HTML5 DTD.
* [270616, 269106] Made changes so that the FTP/SFTP bookmark
internals will return and report errors when given bad input,
rather than crashing. (Still no clarity on why the bad
input was
happening, though.)
