[ANN] BBEdit 11.5.1 (3867) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good { morning, afternoon, evening },

We're working on an update to BBEdit 11.5 which will 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
the most recent pre-release build at
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/EZzy8XIEQys/vZ-hNPHyHgAJ>.
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.

Changes

o (none in this build)

Fixes
-----

* [NFR] Fixed regression in which scrollbar tick marks (if in use)
didn't clear when the instances-of-selected-text ranges were
cleared.

* [NFR] [319243] Fixed drawing glitches which would occur while
combining insertion point movement, insertion-point-line
background highlighting, and scrolling.

* Adjusted the factory default color schemes to use a Differences
color with greater contrast.

* [319235] The Unix Shell Script language module now allows
single- and double-quoted strings to cross line boundaries.

* Fixed bug in which Zip archives weren't listed in the Open
dialog unless "Show hidden items" was turned on.

* Fixed bug in which current-line highlighting would disappear
from the first line in the document when using an unmodified
up-arrow to move the insertion point to the beginning of
the line.

* Adjusted the PCRE library to use the application heap for
recursion instead of the machine stack, which allows more deeply
recursive patterns to run successfully (at the theoretical cost
of some performance).

* [319334] Fixed bug in which CSS unit values were lost when using
the CSS markup panels.

* [319369] Suppressed vertical resizing in the text factory
"Replace All" panel to resolve layout issues.

* [319368] Fixed bug in which clippings were listed twice in the
Clippings panel of the Setup window.
