[ANN] BBEdit 11.5.2 (3887) 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
previous pre-release build at
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/Ajxiu3ohUQs/7XszajL7KQAJ>.
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
-----

* Fixed a cosmetic glitch in which a diff-colored line would
occasionally be drawn diagonally across one of the text
views in
a Differences window.

* Fixed bug in which document state was not automatically
saved in
situations where it should have been saved when closing the
document.

* Fixed bug in which the status bar would not be drawn completely
when responding to actions triggered by a status bar item's popup
menu.

* It is now possible to run Perl, Python, or Ruby files directly
from an editing window, the Scripts menu, or the "Apply Text
Filter" command when the file in question does not have a shebang
line, as long as the document's language is set appropriately.

* When `python3` is available in a typical executable
location, we
will now use that to run Python scripts that don't have a shebang
(`#!`) line.
