[ANN] BBEdit 10.5.6 (3335) 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/V6dTmg3__-E/micsER99bo4J>.

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
-----

* [282765] We no longer depend on cooperative file system
notifications to
detect changes to folders which are used to generate menu
content (e.g.
clippings, scripts, text filters, and so on). This fixes
problems in
which certain manipulations in those folders weren't
detected unless the
application was restarted (or unless some other change
occurred which
*did* trigger a cooperative notification).

* [278604, 282902] Certain third-party applications don't
follow best
practices in their bundle construction, and when one such
was running,
the "Preview" commands on the Markup menu would
inappropriately send
preview requests to a running instance of that application,
rather than
to the intended web browser.

* Fixed bug in which the "Export" command in the File menu was
occasionally mistitled.

* [282929] Fixed bug in which Option-double-click incorrectly
triggered a
"Find Next (occurrence of selection)".
