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/yWTYhnz0Glo/JxwMEfRu_IoJ>.

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
-----

* [280647] If a file name has colons in it (which is a bad idea
anyway), the command-line tool will no longer report that
it's an
unsupported URL scheme, and try to resolve it as a file reference
instead (which may or may not work).

* [232577] Fixed bug in which a failure to save project metadata
(e.g. because the file was locked or permissions were wrong)
would prevent the project from being closed and report a -4960
error.

* [215123] Adjusted the default editing preferences so that
Auto-Expand Tabs is on by default for YAML.

* [220494] When using the contextual menu to insert an attribute
which can have a value, BBEdit now lays down a placeholder for
convenience. This resolves a bug in which the insertion
point was
left in the wrong place.

* [243653] Fixed bug in which changes made to the list of
bookmarks in the Setup window were not reflected in the Bookmarks
popups in FTP Browsers and the "Save to FTP/SFTP Server" panel.

* [240007] Search results in the "Open File by Name" window now
include items that appear on the "Open Recent" menu.

* [255473] Search results in the "Open File by Name" window now
include open documents (including untitled ones). Thus, the Open
File by Name window can be considered a means for switching
between open documents by entering their names, whether or not
they've been saved.

* [248317] Removed BBEdit-only scripting terms (for the markup
tools) from the TextWrangler scripting dictionary.

* [218871] Fixed bug in which certain non-ASCII characters typed
on non-US keyboard layouts couldn't be used as keyboard
equivalents for menu commands.

* [260600] Fixed bug in which custom sidebar widths saved by "Save
Default Project Window" were not correctly applied when opening
an instaproject or making a new project.

- [263306] In a Markdown document, a list which is immediately
preceded by a horizontal rule `----` or a headline is now
recognized as such. The documentation says to put blank lines
before and after "block elements" (like lists and horizontal
rules), but the implementations all support this format.
`#likeUnscramblingAnEgg`

* [NFR] [281019] Fixed regression in which invisible files were
not made available for searching in Open File by Name.
