[ANN] BBEdit 11.5 (3821) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good morning folks,

We're working on an update to BBEdit 11 which will add some new
features and 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 changes that have been made since the
previous pre-release build. Its notes are available here: <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/Ypn4HU8iTHc/9tl7owjTDAAJ>.

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.

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

version 11.5 (3821) (2015-12-09)

Additions
---------

o (none in this build)

Changes
-------

* [NFR] When using a dark color scheme, tick marks in the
scrollbar for "matches of selected text" are now drawn
using the
color scheme's background color, to avoid requiring line doubling
for visibility.

Fixes
-----

* Single-file "Find All" now takes a code path that avoids the
multi-file search mechanics, so it will work as expected on open
documents which are not necessarily seen by the system as text
files (for example, SVG).

* Highlighted ranges for "Live Search" matches no longer get
cleared when the text view is activated or deactivated.

* Made significant performance improvements to an internal
subsystem used by the markup tools. This should improve the
overall performance of some operations in HTML/XML documents,
particularly when the documents are very large. (Function
scanning, syntax checking, formatting, and other structural
operations.)

* Made a change to reduce the internal memory requirements of a
data structure used heavily by the HTML/XML tools subsystems.

* [288804] Fixed bug in which using the "Open in New Window"
option from the Open panel would not open an additional
window on
a document that was already open. The underlying issue
would also
cause incorrect state restoration in cases where a document was
open in multiple windows when the application was quit (or when
an automatic state snapshot was made).

* [314722] Fixed bug in which Git menu commands were disabled for
items that resided in hybrid git/svn working copies.
