[ANN] BBEdit 10.5.8 (3349) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good { morning, afternoon, evening },

We're working on an update to BBEdit 10.5 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 public release. 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
-----

* [284200] Fixed crash which would occur at startup when the
`Application Support/BBEdit/Clippings` folder was empty and not
writeable, or when `Application Support/BBEdit/Clippings`
did not
exist and the `Application Support/BBEdit` folder was not
writeable.

* [241406] When previewing an unsaved or untitled document
with an
external helper, BBEdit now writes the temporary file out using
the same line breaks as the document, rather than using the
internal representation. This improves compatibility with preview
helpers that aren't web browsers (e.g.
[Marked](http://marked2app.com)).

* [284642] Fixed bug in which bz2-compressed files were not read
correctly.

* [284660] Fixed bug in the Fortran scanner in which it was
confused by certain keywords appearing out of context.

* [284859] Fixed crash when using "Find in Reference" with no
document open.

* Updated copyright year.

* Fixed a bug in the Fortran function scanner in which
subroutine/function ends weren't correctly detected when the
qualifying identifier didn't end exactly at a line break.

* Fixed bug in which the functions and folds could be out of sync
if the document contents were reloaded from disk or reverted.

* Restored the previous order of startup so that crash recovery
takes place after sleep state restoration.

* [266007] Fixed bug in which references to documents previously
opened in a project were not properly resolved relative to the
project document itself, which would create confusion in cases
where the project was moved or copied.

* [271968, 284900] Fixed cosmetic glitch in which the pop-down
arrow icon in the header of disk browsers would sometimes
draw in
the toolbar area.
