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 10.5.1
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.
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.

Fixes
-----
* Made a change so that the "Restoring [BBEdit] state" panel at
startup shows the name of each document as it's opened, and also
gives various timer services a chance to run.
* [257288, 257444] Fixed a collection of bugs in the Functions,
Jump Points, and Markers palettes that would cause them to
inappropriately change the selection range when making a document
active, as well as unexpectedly lose their contents when closing
an unrelated floating window.
* Fixed incorrect number formatting in the Functions floater.
* Fixed a bug in which "Sort Lines" did not release memory
that it
allocated during the operation.
* [257530] Worked around apparent bug on 10.6 which would cause
the application to crash in the guts of QuickLook when
doing a
"Close All Documents". Unfortunately the solution involves
disabling QuickLook support entirely when running on 10.6; if
this is important to you, consider upgrading your OS to
10.7 (or
10.8, if your hardware supports it).
* Fixed bug in which the "Restoring BBEdit State" panel would
remain on screen longer than was necessary (and in some
situations would never go away).
* [257673] Fixed bug in which the drag image when dragging text
was not correct when the selection didn't begin at the beginning
of a line. (The correct text was dragged in any event.)
* [219459] Fixed bug in which using "Save a Copy" would
trigger a
sequence of events which could end in data loss if the wrong
choices were made.
* Fixed bug in which callouts (`MARK`, `FIXME`, etc) were not
recognized when used in `#` comments in PHP.
* Updated a code path in the "Open File by Name" search mechanics
to use NSOpenPanel when asking for a new search directory.
* [258116] Corrected a math error which eliminated the dead space
between the line bar (or gutter) and the left edge of the text,
causing misalignment when the editing view was split, and also
making it impossible to do single-click line selection.
* [258112] Increased the maximum allowed length for element names,
so that folding in XML documents works with element names that
were longer than the old limit (which was perfectly reasonable
since 1995, but there you go).
* [258095] Worked around a performance problem in the system
foundation classes which would cause undesired delays when
editing in very large syntax-colored documents.
* The minimum OS requirement has been changed to 10.6.8 (for both
BBEdit and TextWrangler); there's no particular reason not to
update, and on the contrary some very good reasons to do so.
* [257782] The application now uses `NSOpenPanel` and
`NSSavePanel` for presenting file choosers (including the Open
dialog) and "Save As" dialogs, rather than the legacy Navigation
Services interfaces. This should resolve problems with accessory
controls not working correctly on Retina machines, and perhaps
may cure other lurking horrors in the Navigation Services APIs.
* Fixed bug in which clicking on the application's icon in the
Dock would not un-minimize the front window when it should have,
unless the Application preferences were set to do something other
than "Nothing" at startup.
* [258536] Fixed bug in which right-clicking in a document that
was HTML or XML but not properly formed would play a beep.
* [257370] Fixed an internal exception that would occur when
decoding text with entities in it. Since this could occur during
function scanning, it would lead to the application
malfunctioning in certain circumstances.
* Changed the order in which BBEdit searches for Unix tools, to
make allowance for nonstandard installations of `svn` and the
refusal of `xcrun --find` to locate same. You should be
able to
remove the `SubversionToolPathOverride` expert preference (use
`defaults delete`) and have things work.
* [258651] Line breaks in results entry text are now turned in to
spaces, to improve readability and resolve appearance problems.
* [257822] Fixed bug in which files added to folders within a
project were not immediately visible to the "Open File by Name"
window as they should have been.
* [257974] Fixed bugs in which certain legacy scripting interfaces
which relied on the "user focus" for targeting events would fail
when the application was in the background.
* [258718] Adjusted the properties of the PHP language module
specification so that typographer's quotes aren't inappropriately
entered while typing.
* [257660] The "Compare Against Previous Versions" command on the
Search menu is now always enabled (as long as you're
editing a
local file), which avoids performance problems caused by
`[NSFileVersion otherVersionsOfItemAtURL:]` taking an
unconscionably long time in some cases.
* [258351, 258536] Made the XML guesser more strict, so as to
reduce the chances of non-XML files with XML-ish innards being
guessed as XML.
* [258764] If you would like to open a particular Preview CSS,
Preview Template, or Preview Filter file from the popup
menu in a
BBEdit preview window, you may do so by holding down the Option
key as you choose the desired item.
* [257587] Fixed bug in which the "Search and Replace" automator
action would commit a malfunction when "Use Grep" was
turned on
in the action's options. -Tions.
* Corrected a small layout fault in the Character Inspector floater.
* [258799] Navigation floaters (Functions, Jump Points, Markers)
now use the "unwrapped" line number in the display, thus giving
correct results in soft-wrapped documents when Use "Hard" Line
Numbering is turned on.
* [258818] Fixed bug in which the "#doctitle#" placeholder wasn't
processed correctly by the document/site updater.
