[ANN] BBEdit 10.5.6 (3325) 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/QWjyG0w9Pa4/XIbJEUxJWtYJ>.

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.

* [281549] The Text Statistics status bar item gets a tooltip

* [281545] The "Add" command on the Subversion menu is now correctly
enabled for files which aren't under Subversion control,
but the parent
directory is.

* [281545] Fixed a related bug in which Add/Delete/Revert on the
Subversion menu did not properly enable/disable after adding,
deleting, or reverting a file.

* Reduced the amount of computation required to ascertain Subversion
status for files, notably when enabling/disabling menu
commands on the
Subversion menu.

* [275736] Fixed bug in which the 'Always show full paths in
"Open Recent"
menu' preference manipulated the wrong setting, so it had
no visible
effect.

list windows (e.g. search results).

* [NFR] Made some changes to speed project enumeration when
the project
contains multiple top-level folders.

* There is now an expert preference which will cause the "Open
File by
Name" window to close after using the "Open" button:

`defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
CloseOFBNWindowAfterOpeningSelection -bool YES`

* Improved appearance of badges used in the completion popup
and "Go =>
Named Symbol" panel when running on a retina display.
