Important Notes About This Version
BBEdit is now a sandboxed application.
'App Sandboxing' is a term that refers to a collection of securitytechnologies built in to macOS. Sandboxing is intended to protectyou and your data by limiting the operation of applications to theirintended use, which in turn makes it harder for malicious softwareor accidental misuse to cause data loss or damage to your computer.
One of the core concepts of App Sandboxing is that BBEdit, as asandboxed application, is not allowed to use any of your files orfolders without your explicit permission. You can grant thispermission in one of a small number of ways, including (but notnecessarily limited to):
Asking BBEdit to open a file from the Finder by double-clicking it;
Dragging a file from the Finder on to BBEdit's application icon;
Using BBEdit's 'Open…' command to choose a file or folder.
However, as an advanced developer tool, BBEdit frequently requiresaccess to files or folders that that you may not have specificallyasked it to open, for safe and legitimate reasons:
If you have located BBEdit's application support folder inDropbox or iCloud Drive, BBEdit needs to be able to figureout where the folder actually is, and be able to use thatlocation;
When opening a document, BBEdit needs to know:
whether the file is under revision control with Git orSubversion;
whether there are one or more .editorconfig files whichcontrol editor options for the file;
whether any ctags data is available to support BBEdit'scompletion and 'Find Definition' features;
When previewing a file with unsaved changes, BBEdit needs tobe able to write a temporary file out in the same directory,so that relative links within the file remain correct;
If you have turned on 'Make Backups' in the Text Filespreferences, BBEdit needs to be able to write backup andauto-recovery files in the same directory as the file beingsaved;
The 'Open File by Name' feature needs to be able to examineall possible directories that may contain files for whichyou're searching, including some that you may never haveused before in BBEdit;
Many dialog boxes in BBEdit which allow you to choose a fileor folder give you the choice of directly entering a filepath;
..and many more similar cases.
Without unrestricted access to your files and folders, many ofBBEdit's most useful features, from the basic to the most powerful,won't work at all; or they may misbehave in unexpected ways. At thevery least, this hinders your ability to work done.
In order to resolve this fundamental conflict between security andusability, we have devised a solution in which BBEdit requests thatyou permit it the same sort of access to your files and folders thatwould be available to a non-sandboxed version.
For this reason, the first time you start BBEdit, it will prompt youto allow this access. The prompt will not be repeated; so if youdecline to allow this access and later reconsider, go to theApplication preferences, and click on the 'Allow' button in the'Sandbox Access' section.
This in no way compromises your security or that of your computerwhile using BBEdit, but does allow BBEdit to function at its fullestpotential.
If you have been using a previous non-sandboxed version, yourexisting settings and support folder contents are unaffected by thischange.
Because of restrictions imposed by App Sandboxing, we had tomake some changes in how BBEdit interacts with iCloud Drive whenlooking for support folder items. In particular, BBEdit is notable to look for, nor can it use, support folder items in yourtop-level iCloud Drive folder.
If you were previously using
iCloud Drive/Application Support/BBEdit
for support folder items, please follow these instructions:Look in your iCloud Drive folder. If there is a folder named'BBEdit' there which has the BBEdit application icon imprintedon it, skip to step 4.
Start BBEdit. If necessary, allow sandbox access.
Quit the application.
You should see a new 'BBEdit' folder in your iCloud Drive.
Open the 'BBEdit' folder in your iCloud Drive, and use theFinder's 'New Folder' command to create a new folder insideof it. Name the new folder 'Application Support'.
Open up iCloud Drive/Application Support/BBEdit/, and copyits contents into the new folder you've just created.
So to summarize, what you're doing is moving the contents of
iCloud Drive/Application Support/BBEdit/
intoiCloudDrive/BBEdit/Application Support/
.The next time you start BBEdit, it will use your support foldercontents from the new location.
Because of some intentional idiosyncrasies in how macOS handlesitems in application-specific iCloud Drive folders, we recommendthat you consider an alternative such as Dropbox for sharing yourBBEdit support folder between multiple computers.
Additions
- Added a 'Folders' submenu to the main application menu. Thismenu gives quick access to BBEdit's application support folder(the same list that is available in the Folders tab of the Setupwindow). This is useful on its own merits, but is of particularrelevance in the application sandbox, in which support folderscan be buried in locations that are not easily accessible fromthe Finder.
Changes
Made a change so that double-clicking anywhere in asyntax-colored number will select the entire number, even if itcontains a decimal point (which would otherwise be a word break).
When running on macOS 10.14.1 or later, BBEdit now uses built-inOS support for performing operations which require privilegeescalation, namely authenticated saves and (if escalation isnecessary) installation of the command-line tools.
If the application resets the evaluation period, the splashscreen at startup will now advise you of this, via an alert. (Theevaluation period gets reset when we've made significant changesto the application which we believe would warrant a full trial.)
Reworked the way BBEdit runs AppleScripts from the built-inScripts menu and other sources, for sandbox compatibility and toresolve various longstanding issues.
AppleScripts are now run in a separate process, which means that anyprevious differences in scripting behavior as the result of runninga script within BBEdit or from the Script Editor should be a thingof the past.
If 'Keep folders on top when sorting by name' is selected in theFinder's preferences when BBEdit starts up, FTP browser windowswill now obey the option and behave accordingly.
Changes to expert preferences from the command line (via'
defaults write
') are allowed to take effect immediately(except in documented cases where the preference change isintended to apply at a specific point in time, such as whenrestarting the application).The panel that appears when using 'New Disk Browser' from theFile menu now contains a helpful prompt.
The Save panel used for in response to 'New Project Document'now has a prompt to clarify its purpose.
There is now an expert preference for controlling SSH'keepalive' behavior. If you have problems with your SSH serverclosing the connection after a period of non-use (which willsubsequently cause errors in BBEdit), you can tell BBEdit to senda periodic 'keepalive' message to while connected to the server.
This is configurable per host, per domain, or globally. Determiningthe appropriate value may require some experimentation, but 90seconds is probably a good starting point.
We recommend that that you adjust this setting per host wheneverpossible, rather than globally or per-domain.
The 'Text Options' sheet gets a setting for the tab width, andan indicator when the file's settings are managed byEditorConfig.
BBEdit-specific print settings are now available in the Printpanel when printing a text document. As a result, we have removedthe 'Printing' section from the 'Text Options' panel, andrestored the latter to its former simplicity.
The displayed path for files opened from within Zip archives ortarballs is now abbreviated using a tilde, if it is within thecurrent user's home directory.
Fixes
Modernized the internals of the #! script and Unix executablerunner, SFTP operations, and shell worksheets.
Rewrote the internals of the built-in software updater to besandbox-friendly. (This does not apply to Mac App Store builds.)
Updated the privilege escalation internals (used forauthenticated saves and command-line tool installation whenrunning on macOS versions prior to 10.14.1) for compatibilitywith app sandboxing.
Fixed bug in which the initial line number in 'Go To Line' wouldnot take into account any folded ranges in the text.
Fixed bug in which dragging the title bar icon in a window woulddrag the full-sized icon image.
Fixed bug in which the Windows palette didn't re-sort when theactive document changed in an open window, or when certain otherchanges were made to open documents or windows.
Fixed bug in which the font smoothing expert preferences wereinappropriately allowed to disable font smoothing while printing.
Fixed bug in which type-to-select in FTP browser windows wouldbehave unpredictably, because as it turned out, the system washelpfully attempting to match in columns other than the 'Name'.(Thanks to Daniel Jalkut forfiguring this out. Go buy one of his products or become a memberof his podcast.)
Fixed bug in which SCSS interpolation structures (
#{..}
)would confuse the SCSS block parser and result in incorrect foldgeneration and function listings.Fixed bug in which folders that were twisted open when savingstate for a disk browser (when quitting) were selected when thedisk browser window was reopened at startup.
Fixed crash which could occur if a document was closed whileprocessing a (possibly accidental) command-click (the gesture toopen an URL).
Fixed bug in which Command-Shift-click on an URL did not open itin the background, as it should have. (The intended behavior isto open the URL in its designated application while keepingBBEdit active.)
Fixed bug in which certain inline-input edits which involveddeleting in-progress input at the beginning of a hard line in asoft-wrapped document would leave the insertion point in thewrong place, and cause unexpected arrow-key navigationafterwards.
Made a change to improve text encoding detection in XML fileswhose filename extensions didn't map to XML. As long as the filehas an exact '
' at the very beginning, it should now bedetected correctly.
Fixed bug in which the Swift parser would get confused bycertain sequences of escaped quotes inside of a string.
Made a couple of changes to make the application take less timewhen quitting in the normal case (a 'sleep', when state anddocuments are autosaved).
Fixed crash which would occur when trying to use 'Preview inBBEdit' to preview a document whose backing file had beendeleted.
Fixed bug in which the 'Flatten Hierarchies' option for FindDifferences when comparing folders didn't actually work.
#script#
directives in clippings can now use a home-relativepath to the script to be run, e.g.#script ~/path/to/some/script.scpt#
.Made a change so that text in the status/navigation bars, linenumber bar, and other locations is darker in inactive windowswhen 'Increase contrast' is turned on on the system accessibilitypreferences (and a light appearance is in use).
Fixed bug in which comparing two temporary windows (such asgenerated by the results of Hex Dump) with identical names wouldcause the title of the Differences window to have slashes infront of those names.
Fixed bug in which keyboard focus in the Markup Builder panelwas in the wrong place in cases where the tag being edited had noattributes, and Full Keyboard Access (Keyboard systempreferences) was set to 'Text boxes and lists only'.
Made a change so that Find Differences results which are notselected will appear using the Differences color, but lessintense. This should be more visible than the previous lightgray.
Added
SortWindowsAndDocumentsByName
to the Expert Preferences help.Fixed a case in which BBEdit would not reload a file on disk incases where an external process truncated the file (typically byusing
O_TRUNC
when opening the file) but never wrote to it.(Note that such a sequence of operations will always result in anempty file.)Fixed bug in which having previously used 'Save Default TextWindow' would interfere with correct restoration of the sidebarwidth when reopening existing windows at startup.
When applying settings from a previous 'Save Default TextWindow' operation, the sidebar width is no longer limited to amaximum of 250px. If you wanted it wider, you'll get it wider.
Fixed a bug in which an incorrect error code was reported whentrying to create a new project document in a location where itcouldn't be written.
When using 'New Project Document', BBEdit will no longer allowyou to choose a location which isn't writeable, since trying tocreate a project there would fail.
Lined up the corner radii when printing with 'Frame printingarea' turned on.
Fixed a couple of layout glitches in the Expert Preferences help.
Corrected the appearance of the Comments panel for text factoryitems when Dark Mode is in effect on macOS 10.14.
Made changes to address situations in which case-insensitiveliteral search would not match expected characters (or, in somereported but nonreproducible cases, would inappropriately matchcharacters).
Fixed a pair of related bugs, in which (a) the FTP/SFTP browserwindow did not open with a reasonable sort order by default; and(ii) any subsequently selected sort order did not persist when itshould have.
Fixed a bug in which performing CJKV character input aftermoving the insertion point into the middle of a range ofjust-typed text would fail to manage Undo correctly, resulting inunexpected and unwanted behavior when attempting to undo or redoany operation in that document.
Reconnected the keyboard equivalents for the 'FTP Browser' itemsin the Menus & Shortcuts preferences.
Fixed crash which would occur when attempting to use a savedfile filter when running a text factory.
Fixed bug in which the 'Edit' button next to the file filterpopup in the Text Factory scan options panel was never enabled insituations when it should have been.
Adjusted the layout of the 'Installed Languages' panel so thatit doesn't present a horizontal scrollbar.
Fixed a bug in which entering text via the Grep Patterns popupin the Replace All sheet for a text factory would not insertcorrectly when in dark mode.
Fixed bug in which the 'Show items starting with '.'' optionwould actually cause items whose name began with a period to behidden unless the
FTPShowParentDir
expert preference wasturned on.When the
FTPShowParentDir
expert preference is turned on, the.
and.
entries do not have disclosure triangles, becausethat doesn't make any sense.When using the 'Choose' panel for text factory sources, the filepanel opened by the 'Other' button would filter out items thatwere already in the list. This was sometimes inconvenient, so nowthe file panel allows everything, and if you choose somethingthat's already in the list, its checkbox will be marked.
Corrected the dark-mode appearance of the Grep pattern and'recent search' icon buttons in Process Lines Containing, ProcessDuplicate Lines, and text factory Replace All panels, asappropriate.
Added documentation about the
FTPShowParentDir
expertpreference to the Expert Preferences help.Disk browsers will now list directory aliases/symlinks as'twistable' items; twisting open one such will disclose the itemswithin the target.
Fixed bug in which 'Check Syntax' for Perl would not report anyerrors if the script had a #!/usr/bin/env line.
Made a change to Open File by Name cache generation, so thatdirectories that would be hidden by a
.gitignore
file are nolonger scanned. This may improve scan/rescan performance onparticularly large directories.Fixed a bug in which using the scripting interface to ask forthe '
last clipboard
' would fail.Fixed bug in which the summary view in the Multi-File Searchwindow was allowed to gain keyboard focus.
Made a change to fix the suspected cause of a crash which couldoccur when autosaving scratchpad documents.
Made a change to reduce transparency in the Markup Builder panelwhen running on macOS 10.14, which improves readability in thepanel when the prevailing appearance contrasts with the editingview background (e.g. using 'BBEdit Light' with Dark Mode).
Fixed bug in which turning on 'Match application appearance toselected editor color scheme' while a dark color scheme was inuse would not correctly adjust the application's overallappearance, which led to some unexpected drawing effects.
Fixed crash which would occur when choosing a color scheme inthe Text Colors preferences, when the scheme file was open astext in an editing window (which is something you have to gothrough so many gyrations to do it doesn't even bear description,but there you go).
Fixed bug in which the HTML attribute value checker was usingoutdated and incomplete information for checking values whichcould be a color specification.
The markup syntax checker will now generate a warning ratherthan an error for URI attribute values that require entityencoding. (Entity encoding is a best practice, but browsers canmask mistakes and it's also not always required.)
Made a change so that the Undo state generated by using the'Strip trailing whitespace' preference is limited to the overallrange of text that was affected (from the beginning of the firstline on which space was stripped, to the end of the last) ratherthan including the entire document.
When requesting the
URL
AppleScript property of adocument that was opened using an external file transfer clientvia the ODB protocol, BBEdit will now return the custom pathas provided by the client, if it appears to be parseable as anURL. Otherwise (and for all other documents), theURL
propertywill return the location of the document's backing file on disk,as before.Made a change so that the Open panel is (hopefully) completelygone before we start the process of opening a document; that way,if an error occurs while opening, the alert won't be hiddenbehind the stuck Open panel.
Fixed a bug in which the available clippings sets (and theClippings floater) didn't update appropriately when selectingdifferent files in a results window or disk browser.
Updated the man page for
bbedit
to reflect that-u
/--create-unix
are deprecated (but still allowed assynonyms for-c
/--create
). The output ofbbedit -h
nolonger mentions-u
/--create-unix
.Fixed bug in which changing text display settings via the TextOptions command; the options popover in the navigation bar; orone of the commands on the View => Text Display submenu, did notmark the document's state dirty.
Fixed bug in which search results text generated for itemsinside of Zip archives or tarballs did not actually include thearchive-relative path to the file.
Made a change so that
bbedit --maketags
ignores thectags
present in the freestanding Xcode command-line toolsinstallation, in case those are installed.Zbrush 2020 1 1 torrent. Fixed bug in which clicking on an internal link in an unsaved oruntitled HTML document that was being live previewed would reportan error trying to open an
applewebdata:
URL.If BBEdit can't send save or close notifications because youpreviously denied it permission to send Apple Events to theapplication which needs them (usually a file transfer client fromwhich you used 'Edit in BBEdit'), you'll now get an alert to thiseffect; the help button in the alert takes you toa page which explains how to fix things.
Fixed bug in which 'Sort Lines' would sometimes inexplicablystall for a second or more in the middle of the sorting process.
Fixed a bug in which in-text fold indicators would draw over thegutter or line number bar while scrolling, in cases where thedocument had been scrolled horizontally until the indicator wasout of view to the left.
Corrected the appearance of text fields in various editingwindow popovers when running on macOS 10.14.
Fixed omission of
onmouseleave
from the HTML5 globalattributes list, which caused an error to be reported for anyelement which used this attribute.Fixed a bug in which trying to edit a Sandbox Profile file wouldgo nonlinear.
Fixed crash which would occur when opening the Languagespreferences after moving the BBEdit application support folderwhile the application was still running (which you should neverdo, but we can't stop you).
