BBEdit 8.2.4 Release Notes
This page documents all feature enhancements and bug fixes included in the BBEdit 8.2.4 update.
For information on changes made in previous versions of BBEdit, please see the release notes archive.
Requirements
-
This version of BBEdit runs natively on PowerPC-based Macs running Mac OS X 10.3.5 or later, and on Apple-branded hardware powered by Intel processors. At this writing, only the systems provided as part of the "Developer Transition Kit" fit the latter description.
Important: since users of BBEdit on Intel Macs are by definition using pre-release versions of Mac OS X on prototype hardware, please verify that any problems you experience with BBEdit on Intel are also problems using BBEdit on PowerPC. If so, please file a bug report with support@barebones.com; if not, please file a bug report with Apple, and they will follow up with us as necessary.
Additions & Changes
There's a new option in the Application preferences: "Script Menu". If you never use BBEdit's built-in Script menu, you can turn it off. (Note that the built-in menu offers a number of advantages over that provided by the system, not the least of which is that it runs scripts in the application's context.)
Fixes
Fixed bug in which displaying the full-path tooltip in the Windows palette for a file opened from an FTP/SFTP server would light a fuse.
Fixed a bug in which BBEdit would sometimes crash just after closing a window.
Fixed a bug in which script editors couldn't get the application's scripting dictionary if any new-format ("bundle") plug-ins were installed.
Fixed crash which would occur when scanning an HTML document for functions and an empty "bbmark" directive was found.
Fixed -4960 error which would occur if you tried to use a Search Results window as a source when running a text factory.
BBEdit no longer requires a password to be entered when using an SSH agent and the "Auto-Connect" option is selected in the "Open from FTP/SFTP Server" or "Save to FTP/SFTP Server" dialog.
Fixed bug in which non-passive FTP connections didn't time out in situations where a passive FTP connection was necessary but "Passive FTP" was turned off.
Fixed bug in which doing a Replace All with Grep turned on and a pattern that allowed zero-length matches would sometimes generate output that was missing its final character.
Fixed bug in parsing of clipping files on Intel machines.
Fixed incorrect Visibone color palette and menu layout.
Fixed crash which would occur if you closed the commit targets after starting a Subversion commit, but before clicking the "Commit" or "Abort" buttons in the commit window.
Added missing Java keywords.
Fixed bug in which BBEdit would fail to process an "open" event sent with Unicode file paths.
Fixed a memory leak which would occur during multi-file search & replace or text factory application. If the set of files was of sufficient size or if enough such operations were run in between launches of the application, it would bog down, crash, or both.
Line endings on shell worksheet documents' contents are now normalized when loading the worksheet, so that the contents don't all end up on the same line in the event that the worksheet's line breaks got normalized to something other than CR.
Soft wrapping to a pixel boundary now takes invisible characters into account when "Show Invisibles" is turned on, and changing the Show Invisibles setting when soft-wrapping to a pixel boundary will cause the text to reflow accordingly.
Fixed drawing glitch which would occasionally leave behind a phantom line highlight at the end of the document.
Fixed a bug where the HTML syntax checker was too strict and rejected some valid content-types.
