Good { morning, afternoon, evening },
The 10.5 public beta's rolling right along -- thanks to everyone
who's taken the time to try it out and let us know how it's
working, for better or for worse. :-)
A new build is available, with an assortment of fixes for things
that turned up in the previous beta release. (For more
information about the previous release, please see the post at
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/zNfAPZPjdeY/FL4C9Eir8ZcJ>.)
Most of these correspond to fixes and changes to work in
progress; but as always there are also fixes for bugs in what's
currently in general release.
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
previous 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 -- there are a lot of them,
and 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 10.5 (3229) (11/8/2012)
*** The system requirements for BBEdit have changed with version 10.
Mac OS X 10.6 is now required (10.6.8 or later recommended).
*** BBEdit 10.5 contains extensive internal rework; the primary goal
is to achieve proper appearance on Macs with the high-resolution
"Retina" displays, but the opportunity was also taken to remove
unnecessary code, and to effect various cosmetic and usability
improvements. There will be some drawing glitches and
fit-and-finish issues; please report anything that you run into
that falls into that category (as well as any other
functional bugs
that you may encounter in new or changed features).
Additions
---------
o (none in this build)
Changes
-------
* [DOC] The items listed in the "Menus & Shortcuts" preference
pane get a subtle placeholder when no keyboard equivalent is
assigned.
Fixes
-----
* [NFR] [253732] Fixed regression in which variable names were not
eligible for completion in PHP source files.
* [NFR] [253716] Fixed bug in which the new horizontal scrollbar
calibration was wrong when lines measuring over 32K pixels wide
were involved.
* [NFR] [253769] Fixed bug in which items contributed by packages
didn't show up on the Text Filters, Scripts, or Clippings menus.
* [NFR] Fixed bug in which the Character Inspector didn't display
the current selection range when it was opened.
* [NFR] Fixed regression in which the "Pretty Print" format
command would fail to insert line breaks before (or after) tags
when it should have.
* [NFR] [252382] Fixed bug in which the Markup -> Utilities ->
Format command would do nothing if there was no selection
and the
document did not end with a line break.
* [NFR] Fixed bug in which errors encountered during formatting
were not reported.
* [NFR] [253548] Fixed bug in which text would wrap in the sidebar
section headers if the window was made narrow enough (although
that should no longer be possible).
* [NFR] Fixed drawing glitch that would occur when grabbing the
sidebar to resize it (the controls at the bottom of the sidebar
would flicker or disappear).
- [210658] Assigning or removing a shortcut to a submenu no longer
collapses the parent node. While I was at it, selecting a
new top
menu resets the scroll position and selection in the right pane,
so things look much neater.
- Call `-deselectAll:` when loading each pane of the Setup
editors. This looks nicer, IMO.
=end=
The package can be downloaded from our web server:

Enjoy,
R.
