What's new in this version:

Fixed:
- Fixed a bug in which using "Preview in BBEdit" on a document which didn't support syntax coloring (such as "Text File" or "(none)") would generate an empty preview
- Fixed bug in which backspacing over certain zero-width characters which were displayed as gremlins would not work correctly, when "Show Invisibles" was turned off
- For SSH connections, suppress any LocalCommand config directives, which will cause a login failure because sftp does not like things on standard output which are not protocol data
- Changed "a warning" to "an error" at an important point in the bbresults(1) man page
- Fixed bug in which the "Forget Item" button in the alert presented for a missing item chosen from the "Open Recent" menu would not always forget. ("Pepperidge Farm remembers...")
- Fixed bug in which a couple of Search menu commands would behave strangely when applied to an editing window that was in full-screen mode with the Find window in front of it (but without focus, due to having clicked in the editing window)
- Worked around a regression in macOS 14 which prevented the About window credits from displaying until the mouse passed over the text area
- Restore the pre-14.6 behavior of unconditionally displaying U+00AD (SOFT HYPHEN) characters. While not technically correct, it's (at the moment) better than the alternatives currently available.
- Added default settings to work around the failure of ruby-lsp and deno language servers to quit correctly when asked
- Fixed bug in which some project-specific commands were inappropriately added to the contextual menu for instaprojects
- Fixed bug in which trying to create a new note from the selection in a text document would report a -50 error if the default notebook didn't exist (or was in use by another computer)
- Worked around macOS 14 bug (FB13224680) which caused tick marks to be drawn in the wrong place in scrollbars
- Fixed bug in which the last item in the Grep cheat sheet was present in the Find window, but absent everywhere else (such as the Pattern Playground window)
- Made a change to work around a bug in macOS 14 that can cause the application to crash at launch when remotely loaded fonts are in use
- Fixed bug in which the LSP request processor would log an erroneous "unrecognized/unsupported" message for most requests that had in fact been handled
- (NB: when "Request verbose tracing" is turned on for a language server, this will also turn on expanded logging from BBEdit itself.)
- Fixed bug in which changing the font setting in Editor Defaults to a different style font in the same font family (e.g. Menlo Bold to Menlo Bold Italic) did not always change the display font in the editing window
