[ANN] BBEdit 13.5.5 (415107) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good afternoon,

We're currently working on a maintenance update to BBEdit 13.5 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. :-)

Complete change notes to date for all the pre-release builds in this
cycle are available here:

<https://s3.amazonaws.com/BBSW-download/13.5.5_Notes.txt>

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.

Here is the list of changes made since the previous pre-release version:

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

version 13.5.5 (415107) (2021-03-09)

Additions
---------

* (none in this build)

Changes
-------

* (none in this build)

Fixes
-----

* Added "TextWrangler" to the search metadata for the Appearance
preferences pane, so that the "Use TextWrangler application icon"
option comes up in the search results.

* [419587] Fixed bug in which the "Unix Shell Script" language
module would generate incorrect syntax coloring information when
the range of text being colored ended with a backslash; this in
turn would lead to other symptoms down the road, such as crashes
when trying to generate rich text for Services and other uses.
