Version	Date Released	Status	Release Notes
3.0.9	Apr 5, 2012	New Release	· Bean Preferences > New > Custom > Choose Template now defaults to the user’s Templates folder (since Lion 10.7 make is almost impossible to navigate there) (20120401-1). · Added live updating of text ruler offset for layout views when a window is resized (20120311-1). · File > Revert to Saved no longer forgets the font used with plain text files (20120317-1). · File > Revert to Saved is now only active when the document has changed from the saved version (20120317-2). · File > Revert to Saved now restores the saved typing attributes of empty documents (20120317-4). · File > New Plain Text Document (cmd+option+n) could fail to show the Settings menu in the main menu. Fixed (20120317-3). · The side bar document list (Documents > Side bar) now resolves aliases dropped from Finder (20120317-5). · The side bar document list now has a minimum size slightly more than zero to prevent it from disappearing completely (20120320-2).
3.0.8	Mar 15, 2012	New Release	· The draft view now shows the resizer bars only when the view width is greater than the setting at Preferences > Size > Limit Draft View Width to ... % of Screen, or when the window width is almost equal to the screen width (20120306-1). To re-enable the previous behavior where the resizers are always visible in draft mode, use this terminal command (change YES to NO to reverse the setting): defaults write com.bean-osx.Bean prefDoNotHideDraftWidthResizers -bool YES
3.0.7	Feb 17, 2012	New Release	· Fixed a bug where cycling windows (command-~) would not hide full screen window when it was cycled out (20120203-2). · Saving a new document with the same name and path as an already open document in Bean is now rejected with an alert (20120204-1). · Style > Paste… items now more faithfully restore the text selections after acting (20120204-3). · Fixed a bug that could cause the text cursor to disappear due to a negative window number when moving a document from one window to another (20120209-1). · The scroller could incorrectly remain hidden when selecting ‘Move to Grouped Window’ or ‘Merge Document Windows’ from full screen. Fixed (20120210-2). · The Inspector, when snapped to a document window, no longer moves vertically when the Preference window is closed (20120212-1). · Fixed a bug where the Show Info window could appear when not wanted (20120212-2).
3.0.6	Feb 6, 2012	New Release	· The Inspector now updates more consistently (20120129-1). · Fixed a text field input validation bug that in rare cases could cause a crash (20120130-1). · Switching a document from full screen to a non-grouped window would not restore the document presentation settings. Fixed (20120130-3).
3.0.5	Jan 27, 2012	New Release	· Added a work-around to avoid crashes on Leopard involving fontSetChanged message (20120112-1). · Lion’s dictionary popover can become stuck when a full screen window is closed or switched away from, causing a crash. Fixed (20120124-1). · Attached sheets (Save panel, etc.) can become ‘lost’ when a full screen window is closed or switched away from. Fixed (20120108-1, 20120122-1). · Replaced _blinkCaret override with yet another fix when moving text views between windows (20120112-2). This might also fix the mysterious ‘missing text cursor’ problem. · Paste Font Family & Ruler menu item now enables itself correctly (20120108-2).
3.0.4	Jan 6, 2012	New Release	Bug fixes: · Fixed a problem where help files would not display for some users (20120102-1). · Fixed a problem where Styles > Paste Font & Ruler into a zero-length selection just ahead of paragraph break would lose typing attributes (20120103-1). · Localized the “Do you want to save the changes you made to the document?” alert panel and fixed a few other localization issues (20120102-4). Changes: · Opening Bean’s help files no longer causes the initial unchanged Untitled document to close (20120102-2). · Increased area that triggers visibility of scroller in full screen mode (OS X 10.5-10.6) (20120102-3). Additions: · Added ‘Styles > Paste Font Family & Ruler’ menu item (this retains italic, bold, etc. if possible) (20120103-2)
2.4.3	Feb 27, 2010	New Release	Changes: - Edit > Paste & Match Style has a new, friendlier (albeit non-standard) keyboard shortcut (Shift + Cmd + v) (user suggestion) - Print... is now the last item in the File menu - The Replace and Replace All commands in the Find/Replace panel now maintain the text selection after replacement occurs. (user suggestion) There is a hidden preference setting which restores the old behavior where no text remains selected after Replace/Replace All: quit Bean and paste this command into a Terminal.app session (change YES to NO to re-enable the new behavior): defaults write com.SevenYearsDreaming.Bean prefNoSelectionAfterReplace -bool YES - The left hanging margin in text list items now equals the text offset, so that text wraps properly (user suggestion) - The 'Float' toolbar icon now has an orange halo when active (the blue halo looked too much like the UI's 'focus ring') - File > Export > To HTML now exports to HTML 4.0, not XHTML (user suggestion)
2.4.2	Nov 30, 2009	New Release	Enhancements • the most current version of Bean should now always work with CopyPaste Pro. Note: the CopyPaste Pro command Open Selection in Editor will start the most current version of Bean present; Open Editor however starts whatever version of Bean is contained within the CopyPaste Pro bundle. Thanks to Peter Hoerster for the code. • added up-to-date French localization (thanks to Daniel Elmiger) and a new Italian localization (thanks to Stafano Carlini) Notes • Users have reported that Bean runs well on Snow Leopard, except for Preferences > Advanced > Interface > Suggest filename at first save. I believe there is a new API for that in Snow Leopard, so that will be fixed whenever I can do the first Snow Leopard build. My Powerbook G4 (not Snow Leopard compatible) somehow knew its days were coming to an end; it died. Happily, I now have an Intel-based Apple and will be installing Snow Leopard soon. ;-)
