[ANN] BBEdit 11.5.2 (3879) 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 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.

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

* Fixed bug in which initiating a drag with the mouse could happen
unintentionally when clicking on draggable objects.

* Fixed crash and malfunction which could occur in certain
situations when converting Unicode data from a non-Unicode on
disk representation in zero-length files.

* [319618] Made a change to reduce the transient memory
requirements when performing a non-Grep Replace All operation
using a replace string that is longer than the search string.

* [319618] Made a change so that text factories and multi-file
Replace All operations avoid running out of address space when
processing an extremely large number of files.

* [319490] Fixed crash which would occur when trying to change the
name of a "Favorite" in the font panel.

* [319869] Fixed bug in which a document's Undo history was
cleared when using "Move to New Window" from the project sidebar
popup or contextual menu.

* [320021] Made some changes to address lurking concurrency
problems during package loading.

* [319998, 320014] Improved the performance of "Strip trailing
whitespace" when saving documents and the eponymous
preference is
turned on in the Text Files preferences.

* [320000, 320017] If a file-based Unix script or filter isn't
usable because of its on-disk representation (as when choosing
it from the Apply Text Filter or Scripts menus), an informative
error is now reported.

* [320036] Fixed bug in which heredoc strings in Unix Shell Script
documents were not colored using the proper color.

* [319110, 320041] Fixed a bug in the VHDL and Verilog HDL
language modules that would cause unexpected coloring effects
(which sometimes corrected themselves during editing, and
sometimes not).

* The Live Search box no longer displays the magnifying glass (the
system draws it incorrectly on retina displays, and won't be
corrected).

* [319083] Made some adjustments to the Replace All sheet for text
factories to correct font usage and allow reasonable behavior
when resizing the sheet.

* Fixed cosmetic glitch in results windows, along the boundary
between the splitter and the text view.

* [320076, 320132] When spell checking in HTML/XML, the checker
now properly handles transitions between checkable ranges (such
as `CDATA` body text) and non-checkable ranges (tags), so that
all `CDATA` text will be checked, even if checking did not start
inside of a `CDATA` range.

* [320157] Fixed drawing glitches when changing the sidebar width
in editing windows with "Show Gutter" turned off.

* [320014] When closing a very large document without saving
changes, *and* "Make Backups" is turned on, the auto-recovery
file doesn't neeeeeeed to have trailing whitespace stripped out,
so we no longer do that (and save lots of time in the process).

* [320273] Fixed drawing glitches which would occur when combining
selection-range changes and scrolling in certain circumstances.
