[ANN] BBEdit 11.0.2 (3497) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good { morning, afternoon, evening },

We're working on an update to BBEdit 11 to address a few
recently reported issues.

Note that this is a _pre-release_ version. The intent is to fix
bugs and address areas of improvement based on what our
customers have reported. However, since the software is at this
point not fully tested, there _may_ be bugs and regressions. If
this prospect makes you nervous, then sticking with the public
release versions is your best course of action. Nobody will be
offended if you choose to do so; you're under no obligation to
install and use anything but a public release. :-)

Following is a summary of the changes in the software since the
last pre-release build
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/aSWIfXqjbr0/-tk39Qr04OQJ>.
The change notes are organized into additions, changes, and
fixes, and are annotated where appropriate with case numbers. So
if you recognize a number corresponding to a support case that
was opened for you, you can now verify that it's been fixed
correctly. Please take the time to review the changes before
using the new build -- it'll be worth your time.

One final note: If you run into a bug in a pre-release version,
PLEASE DO NOT REPORT THE BUG TO THE LIST. This includes asking
about whether others have seen the same problem. Instead, please
send a bug report to <sup...@barebones.com> and we will deal
with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on
topic and productive for all list members.

Fixes
-----

* [300354] Made changes to reduce the transient memory needs of
the internally factored text transformations (Zap Gremlins and
others), which will help reduce the incidence of out-of-memory
errors from occurring when applying these transforms to very
large documents.

* [300354] Made a change to reduce the amount of transient memory
required by line ending conversion when saving files with Windows
line endings.

* [300392] Made a change so that the `documentDidSave` attachment
script is called as the very last step, most notably after
re-enabling file observing, so that if the attachment makes any
changes to the file on disk, it will get reloaded.

* [300311] Fixed bug in which the Strict Hierarchical formatter
would unconditionally left-justify `pre`, `textarea`, `script`,
and `style` tags.

* The user manual is now downloaded using `https`, and the world
is once again safe for democracy.

* [300052] Fixed bug in which clicking in either document-view
panel of a Find Differences window would cause the list of
differences to scroll to the top.

* [298088] Fixed bug in which the HTML syntax checker would report
errors for correctly formed attributes whose required value was
"empty", that is, the presence of the attribute itself was the
correct syntax.

* [299545] Restored code which ensures correct text layout if the
legacy OS `AppleAntiAliasingThreshold` preferences key is present
and specifies a text size larger than the current display font
size.
