[ANN] BBEdit 11.6 (3913) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good afternoon folks,

We're working on an update to BBEdit 11 which will add some new
features and 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 changes since the most recent
pre-release (whose own notes are here: <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/MsOHcpu5mIk/aB2hbOe0BgAJ>).

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.

version 11.6 (3913) (2016-05-11)

Additions
---------

o (none in this build)

Changes
-------

* [NFR] If the insertion point (or start of the selection range)
is not in a function but the document contains function-menu
items, the function popup in the navigation bar will now indicate
"(no function selected)". If the document has no function-menu
items, the function popup will read "(functions)" as before.

* Made a change so that Option-clicking in the close box of a
window behaves as though you had pressed Command-Option-W to
close all of whatever is appropriate. In practical terms, this
means that it's more like "Close All Documents" when a document
window is in front, which is more useful since it won't prompt
you to close each multi-document window with a sheet.

Fixes
-----

* [NFR] Fixed a regression in character-escape conversion for
search strings in some situations.

* [322148] Corrected escaping of line breaks in the Text Factory
"Replace All" options sheet.

* [322129] Worked around a pathological behavior in the OS which
would cause the file info popover to take minutes to appear in
some situations (in particular, when Active Directory services
are in use).

* [319618, 322122] Fixed a bug in which canceling a multi-file
search/replace or Text Factory operation would leave some
internal bookkeeping undone; after enough uptime this would cause
future operations to stall while waiting for a condition which
would never be satisfied.
