Good { morning, afternoon, evening },
Now that 10.5 is out, we're working on a "hotfix" release to
take care of a couple of things that cropped up post-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 10.5.1 (3243) (12/12/2012)
*** 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, add some features, and to effect various
cosmetic and usability improvements.

Fixes
-----
* Fixed crash which would occur after using the "Other..." menu
item to choose an alternate file in the Markup Builder panel,
then cancelling the file dialog, and then immediately dismissing
the markup panel.
* Made scrollbar activation in list views track the user-focus
state of the host window, which cures an assortment of ills.
* [255340] Corrected contact address and administrative credits.
* Adjusted examples in the expert prefs help to reflect current
text antialiasing defaults.
* [255422] Fixed crash which would occur when trying to manipulate
the Text Options popup in a window that was displaying the "No
Editor" placeholder.
* [255478] Fixed bug in which Perl variables would mess up folding.
* [255504] Fixed a bug in which the Markers floater wouldn't
navigate; and the Functions floater wouldn't navigate when
selecting items from a filtered list.
* [254470] Worked around bug in the `xcrun` tool on 10.7.x which
would cause the command-line tool install to fail on systems
which did not have Xcode installed. (The tool is part of the
default OS install, but has a bug in which it writes
nonsense to
stdout when asked to find a command.)
* [254470] Fixed bug in which choosing "Install Command Line
Tools" would attempt to reinstall the tools, even if they were
already present and up to date.
* [255660] FIXED BUG IN WHICH KEYBOARD EQUIVALENTS IN MODAL
DIALOGS DIDNT WORK WHEN THE CAPS LOCK KEY WAS ENGAGED OK
* [255621] Fixed bug in which PHP variables that occupied an
entire PI (e.g. `<?=$VariableName?>`) would throw off syntax
coloring in the rest of the file.
* [255383] Fixed bug in which URLs with percent escapes for
encoding character values were not always correctly
understood to
be encoded, which would trigger an incorrect "this URL
needs to
be encoded" error when checking markup syntax.
* [255837] Fixed bug in which #! lines were not properly
parsed in
scripts or filters in which there was space between the #! and
the command path.
* [256113] Fixed bug in which Markup -> Block Elements -> H1
through H6 didn't apply the correct heading level.
* [256141] Fixed bug in which the application would crash at
startup in situations where the "Universal Items" clipping folder
couldn't be created because the permissions in the Clippings
folder didn't allow it; or the "Universal Items" folder was an
alias or symlink (neither of which is supported). The new behavior
is to suppress the clippings system entirely.
* [255986] Fixed crash which would occur when confirming the
Markup Builder panel in some circumstances (usually before
it had
figured out which end was up).
