[ANN] BBEdit 11.1 (3713) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good { morning, afternoon, evening },

We're working on an update to BBEdit 11 which will add some new
features and 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
previous pre-release build
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/9J3te1ICOGk/jHaNIG2qMPMJ>.
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.

============================================================================

version 11.1 (3713) (2015-04-01)

Additions
---------

* The CSS/SCSS language module is all new. Folding, keyword
coloring, function navigation, and completion have all been
improved. Various bugs are fixed.

Changes
-------

* The File -> New -> HTML Document dialog box has been modernized,
mostly to work around OS cosmetic bugs.

+ If a project is open which contains site settings, File -> New
-> HTML document will take its initial values from those settings.

Fixes
-----

* [NFR] [305520] Fixed crash which would occur when pattern
matching in a codeless language module ran out of stack space.

* [NFR] Fixed a bug which broke a lot of things, including (but
not limited to) web browser detection for the "Preview Helpers"
preferences.

* [305300] When interpreting image metadata, unprintable
characters are now stripped out of the comment string, to avoid
cases in which images with junk metadata caused generation
of a
junk `alt` attribute in the markup panel.

* Fixed bug in which SGML unparsed character data (`CDATA`)
sections were colored using a distinct color for which no
setting was available. The default color for `CDATA`
sections is
now the same as the foreground text color, and may be
changed via
the "SGML unparsed character data (CDATA)" setting under
"General" in the Text Colors preferences. The factory supplied
color schemes have been updated accordingly.

* [304408] Markup tools batch operations (Check Syntax, Check
Links, Update Placeholders, Update Images, and deployment) will
now skip over temporary files that have been generated for
browser previews.

* [305441] Fixed bug in which the CSS "Text" panel would
inappropriately rewrite the value for the `text-align` property,
as `text-align`.

* [305442] Fixed bug in CSS box-model markup which would cause
incorrect generation when entering a value in the "all sides"
field.

* [296902] Tabs in search results text are now replaced with
nonbreaking spaces when being displayed in the results list.

* [301636] Using `--` to end option parsing in the command-line
tools now ends it for all options, not just options beginning
with a single hyphen.

* [304424] Negative values for line number increments (in
Add/Remove Line Numbers) no longer become unsigned.

* [300097] Corrected error reporting when deleting a single item
fails in an FTP/SFTP browser window.

* [302986] The text factory options for directing the output of
Process Duplicate Lines in a text factory to the clipboard
or a
new document are now correctly disabled.

* [300735] Fixed bug in which both function menus in a Differences
results window would display the functions in the document which
had keyboard focus.

* [304407] Fixed bug in which the HTML pretty printer would strip
empty attribute values.

* [302643] Fixed bug in which comparing two documents for
which a
Differences window was already open, but the comparison was
in a
different new/old order, would inappropriately bring that window
to the front instead of creating a new Differences window.

* [302420] Fixed bug in Grep search pattern coloring in which
character escapes and metacharacter sequences were not colored
when used inside of character classes.

* [303726] Fixed bug in which the CSS "Format" command would
damage the contents of @rules which contained comments.
