- About Version 2.1.3:
-
- Version 2.1.3 of BBEdit is an incremental update which includes only bug
- fixes; no new functionality is added. The following problems are addressed
- in version 2.1.3:
-
- - in some low-memory conditions, BBEdit would crash or behave
- unpredictably.
-
- - previous versions of BBEdit would keep PowerBooks from going to
- sleep.
-
- - Although BBEdit could open files with more than 32,767 lines,
- the vertical scrollbar would behave strangely, and scrolling
- through such files was impossible.
-
- - Grep-based searches are between two and four times faster than
- before, depending on the computer you're running BBEdit on.
-
- - If a file located as the result of an Open Selection command
- is an alias, the alias will be resolved, rather than
- (incorrectly) opening the data fork of the alias itself.
-
- - in version 2.1.2, clicking on the pencil in the status bar
- would cause a crash.
-
- The following bugs were fixed in version 2.1.2, released on June 8, 1992.
-
- - under some circumstances, the function keys F1 through F4 on the
- extended keyboard would be out of sync with the enabling of the
- Edit menu.
-
- - with some printer drivers, the image of the last page (if printing
- backwards) or the first printed page (if printing from a page other
- than the beginning) would be blasted onto the screen.
-
- - under some conditions, wrapping text would cause update glitches
- in the document window being wrapped.
-
- - Entab and Detab now correctly compress and expand tabs.
-
- - Entab/Detab and Zap Gremlins would not properly disable the Undo
- command.
-
- - under some conditions, using Zap Gremlins would cause update
- glitches in the front document window.
-
- - when using Auto-Backup or Make Backup Now with long file names,
- BBEdit would hang.
-
- - Replace All operations would not mark the window "dirty" (needing
- to be saved).
-
- - Replace All operations using Grep would replace occurrences with
- the grep pattern, and not the appropriate replacement string.
- (This was introduced in 2.1.1.)
-
- - BBEdit now displays memory usage in its about box.
-
- - When Show Line Numbers was turned on, horizontal autoscrolling would
- leave the insertion point past the right-hand edge of the window.
-
- The following bugs were fixed in version 2.1.1, released on May 8, 1992.
-
- - If the Batch Results window was closed while "Add To Results" is
- turned on, the next attempt to search without changing the
- Add To Results switch would result in "NIL Master Pointer" message,
- or possibly a crash.
-
- - Some utilities which reshape the Open and Save As dialogs (such as
- Norton Directory Assistance) are now visible in these dialogs when
- used with BBEdit.
-
- - There is a bug in the TrueType INIT for use with System 6 which
- causes the system to crash when drawing text using the
- "grayishTextOr" mode. BBEdit 2.1.1 works around this bug.
-
- - Under some conditions, using "Go To Line" would leave a white
- blotch in the front document window.
-
- - Trying to Cut or Copy a selection larger than available memory
- would result in a crash.
-
- - stability in extreme low-memory conditions is somewhat improved.
-
- - under System 7.0 on a 68000 machine (Plus, SE, Classic, Portable,
- PowerBook 100, Outbound), bringing BBEdit to the front after
- switching out with a dialog box in front would crash the system
- with an Odd Address error.
-
- - under some conditions, Replace All would loop endlessly, until
- cancelled by Command-Period.
-
- - files opened from A/UX 3.0 UNIX partitions would always be opened
- read-only. (Files opened from Macintosh partitions were always
- opened correctly.)
-
- - some extensions which added items to the Open and Save dialogs
- would cause BBEdit to crash.
-
- - the full-scale tiling which was previously done was visually impressive,
- but virtually useless with large numbers of windows, since it tended
- to create windows which were too small. BBEdit now uses the full
- screen height, and the minimum width of a window gives more usable
- area than before. If there are multiple layers, the windows are
- stacked exactly atop one another.
-
- - in some cases, the selection would be set to the very beginning, very
- end, or some random location in the file following a wrap.
-
- - menu keystrokes would be mis-translated if typed on international
- keyboards; for example, Command-Q typed on a French keyboard would
- be interpreted as Command-A.
-
- - "MPW Compatible" is now the default, because many people didn't know
- that it was available to change menu key equivalents.
