[ANN] BBEdit 10.5.2 (3257) 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. In addition to the changes noted
below, this build incorporates changes from previous 10.5.2
pre-release builds.

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.

Information about changes in the previous pre-release build can
be found here: <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/WVzLBsvgJFo/pVlNwQ324cEJ>.

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 10.5.2 (3257) (01/18/2013)

*** 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, add some features, and to effect various
cosmetic and usability improvements.

Fixes
-----

* Fixed bug in which the Functions floater didn't update as the
document's function list changed.

* Fixed bug in which changing the list selection in the Functions
floater would then cause the selected item to be
deselected. This
hindered navigation through the floater, particularly when using
the keyboard.

* [258921] Fixed bug in which a Unicode BOM present in text
dragged in from certain sources (I'm looking at *you*, Microsoft
Word) would be misinterpreted, resulting in junk text being
inserted.

* [257374] Fixed bug in which pre-comparison screening for
multi-file Find Differences didn't return accurate results.

* [258841] Only show the state restoration progress panel at
startup if there's any state to restore.

* [NFR] [258991] The "Insert -> File Contents" command once again
inspects file innards to determine whether they should be enabled.
