Hi all,
The public beta-testing of the BBEdit 8.5.1 update went really
well, so we're going to do it again. :-)
To recap: 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 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and we will deal
with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on
topic and productive for all list members.

Changes
-------
o (none in this build)
Fixes
-----
- Fixed a bug where updating the Edit menu when a file group
document was active would cause BBEdit to crash on 10.3.9.
[66882]
- Corrected a bug where text which wasn't a URL was
allowed to be
pasted as a URL into file groups.
- Fixed a regression which caused #bbincludes to go
missing from
the includes popup. [66924]
- Fixed a regression in which the "Use numeric keypad for cursor
movement" didn't work. [66947]
- Fixed a regression (from 8.2.x) which rendered the
"Find in
Reference" button in the #! floater non-functional. [66823]
- Fixed a hang (or sometimes a crash) that would occur when
opening files containing JavaScript, and the JavaScript code
contained junk control characters. [65299]
- Fixed a bug where the python language module wasn't correctly
matching #! lines. [67152]
- Fixed a bug where BBEdit would crash when running
Format Markup
from a text factory when encountering a document with parser
errors. [66761]
- You'll no longer get a -50 error reported when trying
to do a
Replace All with "Search Backwards" turned on. If
you're doing
the work with "Selection Only" selected, Search
Backwards is
meaningless; if you have a selection range, doing a
Replace All
with Search Backwards turned on now means that the replacement
work will be done between the top of the document and the
beginning of the selection range. [67024]
- Fixed a regression where re-opening a document (such as
double-clicking it in the Finder) would cause the undo
stack to
be cleared. [67434]
- Corrected the display of non-Mac Roman file names in Find
Differences results lists. [64739]
- Made the sheet for the "Replace All" text factory action
resizeable. [67025]
- Fixed bug where the radio buttons in the Text to HTML text
factory configuration sheet did not work correctly [67198]
- Fixed bug in which empty brace blocks would throw off function
indentation. [66247]
- Fixed bug in which the "SFTP" switch was inoperative when
creating a new FTP bookmark in the "FTP" preferences. [67734]
- Workaround/change for OS bug which is the suspected
cause of
crashing while spell checking. [66884]
- Made the "Cancel" button the default in the
confirmation dialog
for overwriting in the "Save to FTP/SFTP Server"
dialog. [66412]
- non-Roman file names, file paths, date/time, and/or
user names
are now rendered correctly in the page headers for
printed text
documents. [67517]
