Requirements

BBEdit 11.6.5 requires Mac OS X 10.9.5 or later, and is compatible with macOS 10.12 "Sierra".

Additions

• The "Menus & Shortcuts" preferences pane has two new buttons. "Simple Menus" will simplify the menu structure by hiding the "advanced" menu commands (the ones that go along with a full BBEdit license and which are also available during the evaluation period). The result is a menu structure that is very similar to TextWrangler's.

  The "Full Menus" button undoes the work of Simple Menus, by making all menus and commands visible (even ones that might have previously been manually hidden).

  Both operations leave your keyboard equivalents intact.

  The "Restore Defaults" button, as before, will reset all keyboard equivalents to factory defaults, and will make all menus and items visible.

Changes

• Made some wording adjustments to the evaluation dialog box.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug in which BBEdit-specific menu commands were not properly converted when upgrading from a TextWrangler setup.

• Added an entry for the "Collapse Folds Below Level" submenu head, so that it may be hidden using the Menus & Shortcuts preferences, if desired.

• Fixed a bug in which the horizontal scrollbar would get miscalibrated after making edits in files of a certain structure (involving very long lines).

• Fixed bug in which invisible text files (e.g. .htaccess) were not included when performing a directory comparison.

• Fixed a bug in the Perl scanner in which it would occasionally scan past the end of the text (which might or might not cause a crash, depending on the longitudinal orientation of the computer and the phase of its internal clock).

• Fixed a small memory leak.

• Fixed the suspected cause of a crash that would occur when closing a document while a "Live Search" operation was in progress.

• The value type for input elements in HTML5 is actually CDATA, so the syntax checker will no longer report errors for input name values which are otherwise properly formed.

• Fixed a crash which would occur when a multi-file search file filter needed to load a file's text for a "file contents" filter term, but loading the text failed for any reason.

• Fixed a problem in which BBEdit couldn't install its privileged helper tool (used for supporting authenticated saves and command-line tool installation) on some systems.

• Fixed selection flashing which would occur when doing a multi-file Replace All or text factory operation that affected open documents.

• Fixed a bug in which the C/etc function scanner was confused by the presence of __attribute__ directives appearing before the function name.

• Fixed a bug in which text in rectangular selections was not passed correctly to Services.

• Fixed a bug in which Grep case transformations during replacement (\U, \L, and their associates) didn't work correctly for non-ASCII characters.
