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 <[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 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.
