Requirements

TextWrangler 4.5 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later.

PowerPC-based Macs are not supported.

Additions

• This release consists entirely of fixes for reported issues, and contains no new features.

Changes

• Changed the Dash support to use the newer lookup syntax, and added expert-preferences support for specifying which docset keys to include in the query. This is done on a per-language basis, by specifying an array of keys in a defaults write command, thusly:

  defaults write com.barebones.bbedit DashQueryKeys_<language name> -array <space-separated list of keys>

  For example, for Objective-C++:

  defaults write com.barebones.bbedit DashQueryKeys_Objective-C++
    -array cpp iphoneos macosx appledoc cocos2d cocos2dx cocos3d kobold2d sparrow c manpages

  The list of query keys recommended for various languages may be found here. Note that you must use TextWrangler's human-readable language name in the defaults write above, not Dash's.

• TextWrangler now passes through the document filename extension to Dash when making queries (as long as the document is backed by a file on disk).

Fixes

• Implemented a workaround for file corruption on SMB volumes when running on OS X 10.9 (caused by a bug in the OS, 15627108).

• Fixed bug in which the application would (inappropriately) look inside of its own package for attachment scripts in cases where the Attachment Scripts application support folder was absent or unreadable.

• Fixed bug in which running an AppleScript script from the Scripts menu would occasionally trigger a refresh of the Scripts menu and palette.

• Added support for MODULE PROCEDURE statements in Fortran, which fixes a crash in the Fortran function scanner. INTERFACE declaration blocks are also supported, for the same reason.

• The order in which language modules are loaded is now relevant to the order in which filename extensions are mapped to languages, which ensures consistent behavior of same.

• Worked around a bug in OS X 10.9 (15646538) which would cause a crash when returning internal scripting error information in certain situations.

• Fixed bug in which UTF-8 text dragged from results lists was zero length.

• Fixed bug in which the Fortran function scanner would crash when given garbage input (basically, a mangled source file in which no structure blocks were ever terminated with END statements).

• Fixed bug in which function (F1-F20) keys could not be assigned as keyboard equivalents (though if they had previously been set, they would continue to work).
