Requirements

BBEdit 9.3.1 requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later (10.4.11 or later recommended).

This version is a Universal application: it runs natively on both Intel-based and PowerPC-based Macs.

Additions

• Added #! based language guessing to the Lua language module.

Changes

• If the document's on-disk encoding is set to use UTF-8 with a BOM, and the document also contains an explicit character set declaration of "utf-8" (which implicitly does not include a BOM), BBEdit no longer displays an "encoding mismatch" alert. (In general, you shouldn't save documents this way, though most modern software and user agents should recognize a UTF-8 BOM.)

Fixes

• Fixed typo in control title in the Text Printing section of the print dialog.

• Fixed POD errors in the bbfind man page.

• Fixed a bug where the first group of results in a search results list were sometimes inappropriately collapsed.

• Fixed a couple of bugs related to insta-projects: "Open File by Name" would report -43 if the front project were an insta-project, and opening a document directly would not open into an insta-project's window when it should have.

• When creating a temporary project for a folder 'odoc', the top level node is expanded automatically.

• Command-D works in the "confirm save" sheet for insta-projects (on those occasions when it's necessary).

• Fixed regression which caused bundle tool floaters (e.g. TextSoap) to appear in the Tools menu but not run when selected.

• Restored previous behavior of "Compare Two Front Documents".

• Refined the file filtering for multi-file Find Differences so that files' contents are inspected to help determine if the file is a text file. Restored the previous UI behavior so that if a file appears in the "In Both" list, selecting on it causes a comparison, even if the file isn't text.

• Clicks on a disclosure triangle in a hierarchical list are never treated as a double-click.

• Layout change to confirm-close sheet for projects.

• Fixed bug in which "New HTML Document" did not create the document in the front project's window when it should have.

• Fixed performance regression in case-insensitive Replace All involving single characters (which also affected Change Case).

• Worked around bug in SMB client on Mac OS X 10.4.x which would randomly trigger a "this file has been modified" warning when saving documents on SMB volumes.

• Removed the overly strict test for OSA script files in the #script# glossary token expansion, which prevented shebang files from being used.

• Restored a workaround for a bug in the SMB client on Mac OS X 10.4.x which would cause a -36 error to be reported when saving an empty text file.

• Fixed a bug where accessing the properties of a project item via the scripting interface failed.
