What’s new in BBEdit 12?

• Improved darktheme support When using a dark color scheme, BBEdit now colors editing and project window chrome to match, for a more integrated overall appearance. (For customers used to the old behavior, this can be set in the “Appearance” preferences.) For customers who have never before used BBEdit or TextWrangler, the “BBEdit Dark” color scheme is now the factory default; this can be changed if desired in the “Text Colors” preferences.
• Improved platform behavior Thanks to extensive internal overhaul, BBEdit now supports intrinsic OS behaviors such as Split View (and many others).
• Improved UI for FTP/SFTP Browsers, Text Factory, and Preview windows many nonediting windows have been overhauled for improved appearance and behavior, and to add features.
• New “Canonize” tool Provides a textbased model for batch search and replace, either within a single file or (by using a Text Factory) in multiple files.
• New “Columns” Editing Commands Easily cut, copy, delete, or rearrange columns in delimited (CSV, TSV) text files without requiring a spreadsheet or complicated regular expressions.
• FTP/SFTP browsers now feature an outline view for improved navigation
• Text Factory windows now provide the ability to turn individual steps on and off
• Preview in BBEdit windows now provide runtime introspection of previewed pages using the WebKit Inspector
• Text Extraction This powerful addition to BBEdit’s legendary searching capabilities allows you to locate and collect search results into a single text document. Extraction can be run on the active text document, or across multiple files and folders. Use of Grep replacement patterns during extraction enables transformations to the extracted text.
• Extensive Internal Modernization Many internal subsystems have been rewritten or updated to support new features, improve performance, add refinement, and make future enhancements possible

What’s New in BBEdit 12.6.7

Additions:

• BBEdit 12.6.7 does not add any new features. (It doesn’t take away any, either.)

Changes:

• Made a change to ask the OS-provided print panel to place the page attribute controls (orientation, scaling, paper size) in the panel proper, rather than hiding them behind the “Page Attributes” section in the popup menu

Fixes:

• The application could crash when clicking in a text view, given certain unexpected internal state
• Worked around a system windowing behavior which would cause the following unexpected behavior: when starting the application in which the saved state specified a window in full screen mode, if the application was started by opening a document that wasn’t previously open in that window, the document being opened (and any other such additional documents) would open into a separate window
• The default printing timestamp setting was not applied correctly to the Print panel’s settings when printing a document
• Worked around file system behavior on macOS 10.15 in which files written into TMPDIR and then passed to BBEdit for comparison would disappear when clicking on the file’s contents in the Differences window. (For example, temp revision files created by git difftool or svn diff.)
• Quitting the application while open documents were waiting to process a change notification from the ctags subsystem
• Hang when spell-checking documents and the effective language module indicated that a particular range of text was to be skipped
• The cursor would alternate between an I-beam and an arrow while dragging out a text selection
• Certain edits within a “PHP in HTML” source file would set up a situation in which subsequent edits would cause syntax coloring to get confused (typically manifesting as uncolored text after a certain point in the document)
• Trying to save a change to a file in a Zip archive would report a 12612 error if the Zip archive file didn’t actually have a file name extension
• The internal SFTP client didn’t properly clean up after itself when disconnecting. Eventually this would lead to errors when attempting to perform SFTP operations
• Disk browsers would sometimes fail to open the selected file for viewing, following certain manipulations of the list (such as twisting a folder open or closed, or refreshing an opened folder with a different number of items) and depending on the relative placement of selected items
