Good { morning, afternoon, evening },

We're working on an update to BBEdit 11 to 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 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. 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 <[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 11.0.3 (3503)   (2015-01-16)

*   BBEdit now requires OS X 10.8.5 or later. It will not run on any
    previous version of the OS.

Additions
---------

    o   (none in this build)

Changes
-------

    o   (none in this build)

Fixes
-----

*   When saving an existing file to disk, if the file being written
    already has a correct HFS file type (whether it needs it or not),
    the file type is preserved, which prevents the OS from
    arbitrarily changing the document icon and/or refusing to show
    QuickLook previews.

*   [302442] Fixed bug in which text transform scripting verbs would
    not return their output to scripts run from the built-in Scripts
    menu.

* [302423] Updated the built-in list of Vectorscript predefined names.

*   [NFR] Put in a band-aid for cases where the Software Update
    framework throws an exception at -performStartupActions time
    which interferes with application initialization (visible symptom
    is that the application has all menus disabled).

*   Made a change to the internal "Replace All" mechanics to improve
    performance by a factor of two (results may vary).

*   Any unprintable characters in the ASCII range are now drawn as
inverted red question marks, whether or not "Show Invisibles" is
    turned on. This will help reduce confusion when working with
    files that contain many such.

*   [NFR] This may also address soft-wrap and drawing performance
    problems caused by excessive font substitution, such as [301239].

*   [285634] Zero-width Unicode characters are now drawn as a gray
    vertical bar when "Show Invisibles" is turned on.

*   [301252] Typing in the search box in the "Go to Named Symbol"
    panel will now select the first matching item.

*   [301312] Fixed bug in which the HTML syntax checker would
    sometimes report false positives for duplicate `id` attribute
    values.
