[ANN] BBEdit 11.5.1 (3861) 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/E9-ygEF8Nzo/hXGkHgFuHQAJ>.
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
-----

* [NFR] [319104] Fixed regression in which selection changes that
involved scrolling would result in drawing glitches.

* [NFR] [319063] Made changes to further improve performance of
"highlight occurrences of selected text" in documents with
extremely long lines.

* Fixed bug in which Differences windows had,
incomprehensibly, a
Current Function item in the status area.

* Fixed bug in which the initial state of "Sync Scrolling" for
Differences windows was wrong in certain situations.

* Made a collection of changes to improve startup performance and
application responsiveness when initially loading the
contents of
very large folder-backed menus (especially clippings).

* Fixed layout goof in text views in which all status area items
were turned off, but Show Line Bar or Show Gutter was
turned on.

* Fixed bug in which a source control commit window would be
silently confirmed if the application was quit while it was open.
Now, the window will be discarded if no changes were made
to the
commit message; otherwise it will prompt for a decision.

* [319083] Corrected font display in the edit fields for the
"Replace All" text factory operation.

* By default, "display occurrences of selected text" will only
search for qualifying text that is two characters or
longer, so
that selecting or placing the insertion point in front of a
single character will no longer display highlights throughout
document.

* [319010] During text drag-and-drop, the insertion point
indicator will now appear immediately at the drop location,
rather than waiting for a blink cycle.

* [319065] The "Strip trailing whitespace" option when saving
files will no longer remove page breaks.
