[ANN] BBEdit 10.5.6 (3331) 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 pre-release build. 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.

Change notes for the previous pre-release build are available
here: <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/N1kszRb5Qxg/AbnW21KcOnAJ>.

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
-----

* [282505] When applying inline (vs. block-structured) markup
to text
ending with one or more contiguous line breaks, the closing
tag is now
placed before the first line break, rather than after the
last one.

* Corrected search metadata in the Preferences window so that searching
for "font" no longer returns the Application preferences,
where there's
no font setting, and now returns results including the Appearance
preferences, where there is a font setting.

* [282587] Fixed a bug which caused the application to require more
transient memory while opening a file than was strictly
necessary. (There
is a performance gain that goes with this, though it will
be primarily
noticeable on giant files.)

* [282587] Made a change to reduce the transient memory
requirements for a
single-file "Find All" operation when searching the entire document.

* [NFR] Fixed bug in which the "-" button in the Bookmarks
panel of the
Setup window was not disabled when it should have been.
