Good morning folks,
We're currently working on another maintenance update to BBEdit
12 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/12.6.4_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 <[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.
Here is the list of changes made since the 12.6.3 public release:

Fixes
-----
* [369054] Made a change to reduce the chance of a crash occurring
when generating sub-line differences results in a Find
Differences window.
* [369467] Fixed bug in which the Menus & Shortcuts
preferences UI allowed
you to hide the "Close Document" command, which usually
ended badly.
(Among other things, Command-W would fail to actuate "Close Window").
* Made a change to eliminate application stalls which would occur
when saving crash recovery state for documents that were
open on
spinning disks which had gone to sleep.
* [369529] Added an AppleEvent entitlement so that BBEdit can send
document-saved and document-closed notifications to the Mac App
Store version of Transmit, in order for the latter's "Edit in
BBEdit" feature to work correctly.
* [369511] Made a change so that the "Add" command on the
Subversion menu is enabled when a document is in a Subversion
working copy, but has not yet been added to the repository.
* Made a change to work around the presence of an ancient legacy
font setting whose presence (and incorrect value) can cause all
kinds of unwanted side effects such as inconsistent character
spacing, shifting text when clicking on a line, and mismatches
between where the click lands and what actually gets selected.
* [369557] When moving autosave data to the trash while creating
fresh autosave data, made a change so that if the trash was empty
before, it'll continue to appear so in the Dock for the duration
of the operation.
* [369153] Made a change so that items in application support
folders for folder-backed menus (Scripts, Clippings, Stationery,
Text Filters) which are aliases or symlinks to folders will
appear on the menu as the name of the symlink, rather than the
name of the target. This fixes a crash when trying to use "Save
as Clipping" when two or more symlinks pointed to the same target
folder; but also helps ensure a consistent presentation between
the UI and what's on disk.
* Added simple color support for backtick strings in
JavaScript code.
* Restored the ability to open items on folder-backed menus
(clippings, scripts, text filters, stationery) by holding down
the Option key while choosing the item's menu command. (As a
reminder: Shift while choosing the item's menu command will
reveal it using the Finder.)
* Added a more descriptive error message for name lookup (DNS)
failures when connecting via FTP.
*fin*
