[ANN] BBEdit 11.5.1 (3857) 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
the most recent pre-release build at
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/e191zEa6ux4/Pz_Ma3HXHAAJ>.
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 11.5.1 (3857) (2016-02-12)

Additions
---------

* Added support for HSL notation in color schemes. `hsl(h, s, l)`
and `hsla(h, s, l, a)` are now supported, while the legacy
formats are still allowed for compatibility with existing color
schemes. This makes it easier to write color schemes by hand
where desired. Colors in color schemes can now be specified using
`rgba()`, `hsl()`, `hsla()`, `hex(nnn)`, `hex(nnnnnn)`, and CSS
`#nnn`/`#nnnnnn` notations. The alpha channel in `rgba` and
`hsla` is not currently used.

Changes
-------

o (none in this build)

Fixes
-----

* [NFR] [318928] Fixed a regression in which documents opened
while reopening a project document would open into a separate
window, rather than into the project window.

* [NFR] [318959] Cleaned up a mess in the scrolling innards to
resolve display glitches.

* Text underlined or highlighted by the "Display instances of
selected text" matching now uses the "Plain text" color, rather
than deriving from the "Background" color.

* Fixed a bug in which the keyboard focus was not on the name
field in the "save color scheme" sheet, as it should have been.
