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 public release. 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.

Additions
---------
o (none in this build)
Changes
-------
o (none in this build)
Fixes
-----
* Rewrote the printing innards for live preview windows, so that
the printed output is closer to expectations.
[NFR] There's still a bug in which pagination CSS elements
are not
being honored, even though they are in Safari and Yojimbo (the
latter which uses identical printing code). Radar 15891522.
* Fixed bug in which progress dialogs would leak memory.
* Fixed memory leak in the innards of the font system.
* [285858] Made changes to significantly improve performance when
generating syntax-coloring information for extremely large files
(SQL dumps being a good example of same).
* [285858] Fixed a performance bug when scrolling in text views
with extremely long lines and the Line Numbers bar visible.
* [255505] Made a change to the Open File by Name search logic so
that it doesn't search system headers and frameworks unless the
search cache is backed by an Xcode project.
* [285848] Fixed bug in which data structures backing the Scripts
menu (and other similar folder-backed menus) were not properly
released when the menu was refreshed, leading to creeping memory
use.
* [285848] Fixed a memory leak in SFTP process cleanup.
* [283811] Made a change to work around a mystery crash at startup.
* Various internal changes to improve stability.
* [263296] Fixed bug in which one pane of a split-pane text view
would get blanked out in certain circumstances. (Replace
All in a
split window was a good way to reproduce this.)
* Made changes to improve the display of path names in menus when
the path is `~` or `/`.
* Unix tool discovery will now also look in `/opt/subversion/bin/`
to cover the case of "aftermarket" Subversion installations.
* Fixed a bug in which FTP browsers reopened as part of startup
state restoration would never reconnect to their previous
locations and always drop a sheet asking for connection
information.
* When reopening files during state restoration at startup, the
application will no longer attempt to mount volumes that
are not
available (e.g. remote file server volumes). This should resolve
hangs that occur when the system goes off and tries to reconnect
to a server that is no longer available (as tends to occur when
taking a laptop home from the office).
If for some reason you preferred the old behavior and want the
application to attempt remounting of volumes containing reopened
files, you can use this expert preference:
`defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
AllowVolumeMountDuringStateRestore -bool YES`
=end=
The package can be downloaded from our web server:

Enjoy,
R.
