Hi all,
BBEdit 8.5.2b3 is now available; as with the previous 8.5.2 betas, this
build fixes reported problems and adds minor refinements.
Here's important information, carried over for the benefit of those who
didn't see the previous beta announcements:
Note that these are _pre-release_ versions. 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.
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 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and we will deal with it
there. This will help us keep the list discussion on topic and
productive for all list members.
============================================================================
Version 8.5.2b3 (11/15/2006)
Additions
---------
o (none in this build)
Changes
-------
∆ [DOC] The four options sheets in the Languages preferences have
been collapsed into one.
∆ If you try to run, from the Text Factory menu, a factory which
has no files or folders specified, BBEdit will now present a
dialog in which you can choose the sources (and configure other
options, such as file filtering).
Fixes
-----
- Fixed a bug in which "#mark -" directives occurring in
JavaScript code were not squished out when sorting the function
menu by name. [67739]
- Adjusted metrics in Disk Browser and File Group item lists. [68507]
- More PHP keyword updates; thanks to Carsten Blüm as always.
- Fixed bug in which one character too few was passed to a text
factory being applied to the entire contents of the front
window (via the command on the Text menu). [67650]
- Fixed out-of-order options in the Backup Options dialog. [64969]
- Fixed a glitch in the HTML/XML syntax colorizer where it would
get fooled by one or more closing square brackets at the end of
CDATA immediately prior to the ']]>' that closes the CDATA,
resulting in the ']]>' not getting colored properly and the
CDATA section not being recognized as closed. [66328]
- Fixed a bug where, if one or more whole lines were selected and
you do a shift-single-click line selection on or above the first
preselected line, then the selection range would be extended
*down* by one line (in addition to any intended upward
extension). [65562]
- The "All Readable Files" filter (for the Open dialog and for
disk browsers) now allows gzip archives to show up, which makes
it easier to take advantage of the built-in support for editing
gzip-compressed text files. :-)
- Fixed a bug in which the YAML language module would generate
bogus function and/or fold ranges for some source files. [68870]
- Fixed a bug in which the function-selection ranges generated by
the JavaScript function scanner didn't include the word
"function" where appropriate. [68007]
- Fixed a bug in which .gz files weren't being properly handled
by the text encoding guesser. [64778]
- Fixed a bug in which the encoding menu in the "file's encoding
couldn't be guessed" sheet would sometimes behave strangely.
[64778]
- Fixed a bug in which applying a text factory to multiple
untitled documents in the same text window would modify only the
active document in that window. [65309]
- Fixed a trio of bugs in the filter composition dialog:
1. When making a new filter, the "Revert" and "Save" buttons
were enabled when they shouldn't have been.
2. When editing an anonymous filter, clicking the "Revert"
button would cause a crash.
3. When editing an anonymous filter, clicking the "Close"
button would report a -50 error.
[69285]
- Fixed bug in which changes to the Text Encoding or Line Endings
popup menus in the status bar didn't become immediately visible;
the change really was made, though. [64848]
- Fixed bug in which Process Duplicates and Process Lines
Containing would unnecessarily open an empty output window.
[65307]
- Fixed a bug in which the shell worksheet command status
indicator would sometimes not show the correct status when
running a command after using the padlock to become root.
[67868]
- Fixed bug in which the list of operations in Text Factory
windows indicated that it could accept files via drag-and-drop,
when it in fact could not. [65564]
- Option-dragging a Grep pattern item in the Text Search
preferences no longer causes -50 errors and crashes; it now
works to duplicate the selected item(s). [67626]
- If a balanced close brace is the last character in a PHP code
section (either at the end of the file, or at the end of an
embedded PHP block in an HTML source file), BBEdit will now
generate an entry in the function menu and/or a fold range, if
appropriate. [65430]
- Fixed crash in the Pascal function scanner which would occur in
source files with lots and lots and lots of functions. [69469]
- Made a change to reduce memory requirements and improve
performance while generating results browsers for multi-file
search results with lots of hits.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
