[ANN] BBEdit 9.6.1 (2849) pre-release
Rich Siegel
The announcement of a pre-release version on the list may come
as a surprise to some of you. :-) When preparing maintenance
updates (which primarily consist of bug fixes, with few to no
new features), we're going to post notification of the new
versions to this list, so that anyone who's interested can take
the new build for a spin.
Note that these are _pre-release_ versions. 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
last public release. 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.
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 9.6.1 (2849) (11/2/2010)
Additions
---------
+ [194460] [DOC] Previously, disk browsers and projects always hid
SCM admin data, even if "Show Invisibles" was turned on.
This is the
99% use case, but on the other hand sometimes it's handy to
be able
to peek inside. So, here's a new expert pref:
`defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
Misc:ShowSCMDataCommandIsVisible -bool YES`
When this is turned on, the file filter menu in projects
and disk
browsers grows an extra command for toggling the display of
SCM data.
Changes
-------
o (none in this build)
Fixes
-----
* [194101] Fixed bug in which the markup formatter would incorrectly
insert a blank line at the end of content in indented tag blocks.
* [194289] Fixed crash which would occur when trying to add a
Perforce configuration in the Source Control preferences.
* [194336] Fixed crash in `bbfind` at the end of execution in some
situations.
* [194272] Fixed bug in the FTP library in which the setting
to show
"." files in FTP listings didn't work correctly if the
server didn't
support `NLST -a`.
* Fixed bug in which quitting or sleeping with results windows open
would cause a subsequent failure to reload the application state
completely.
* Fixed a bug in which malformed Boolean flags in
.bbeditSettings files
were not ignored as they should have been.
* [189687] Fixed a class of latent bug which would cause a
crash in
situations where attempting to bring a sheet up would fail.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.

Thanks Rich! The blank lines bug was really starting to
annoy me. I am downloading the beta as I type this. :)

Rich, unless I am missing something, I don't see any
improvement in the blank lines problem.
I just took a copy of a long HTML document which I manually
cleaned up -- removed all of the blank lines -- yesterday,
and used 9.6.1's Markup/Tidy/Clean Document on it.
Once again, it inserted blank lines between tables, tr's, and
td's.
There are also blank lines between, br's and div's, between
br's and tables, between options in a form, between hr's and
div's, etc.
The only way I have found to clean up all of the blank lines
is by using Markup/Utilities/Format AFTER using Tidy/Clean
Document. In other words, there is now another step involved,
whereas before, I just had to use Tidy/Clean Document, and
everything was left neat and in place.
Also, using the Format option does not format the same way as
Tidy/Clean Document.
BTW, when I saw that the problem was apparently not resolved,
I went so far as to trash my BBEdit prefs files, as well as
everything in Application Support, except for my Text
Factories folder, thinking that maybe 9.6.1 was just grabbing
old prefs. However, that was not the case. Even after
trashing everything, the problem persists, and the extra
formatting step must be done in order to clean up all of the
blank lines.
I hope this information helps.

The only change made was to the "Pretty Print" command in the
built-in HTML formatter. The Tidy commands are unaffected by
this. (9.6 uses the Tidy library built in to Mac OS X.)
That aside, I would appreciate you re-sending this information
to <sup...@barebones.com>. A zipped example file which
demonstrates the behavior will help.
Thanks,
