[ANN] BBEdit 11.6 (3911) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good afternoon folks,

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 changes since the most recent
pre-release (whose own notes are here: <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/DIyepegP5gI/1YfaVNY2BQAJ>).

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 11.6 (3911) (2016-05-09)

Additions
---------

* [DOC] Added a new command to the Lines submenu on the Edit menu:
"Duplicate". This will duplicate the lines which intersect the
current selection range.

Changes
-------

* [DOC] Since Unix line breaks are now the norm, the
`-u`/`--create-unix` options to `bbedit` are now treated
the same
as `-c`/`--create`, and will write out an empty file. The man
page has been updated to reflect this.

Fixes
-----

* [NFR] Corrected enabling of the "Open" button in the Open File
by Name window.

* [NFR] [321973] Fixed bug in which the one or both of function
popups in Differences windows would display the wrong information.

* [257384, 321538] If `/dev/null` is passed as an argument to
`bbdiff`, it will now exit normally (and quietly), rather than
reporting a -36 error.

* [321632, 322047] Fixed bug in which certain operations would
cause the selection range to drift.

* The old preference for hiding palettes when a Differences window
is active is honored again.
