Good { morning, afternoon, evening },
We're working on an update to BBEdit 11.5 which will add some
new features and 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
the most recent 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 11.5.1 (3849) (2016-02-05)
Additions
---------
o (none in this build)
Changes
-------
* Made changes to increase contrast and visibility of selected and
sub-line differences, as follows:
- Only the selected top-level difference is colored using the
Differences color when selected; all others are colored using
a subtle gray shade.
- When a difference containing sub-line differences is
selected, all of the sub-line differences are colored
using a
darkened (or lightened, for dark color schemes) version of
the Differences color.
- When a specific sub-line difference is selected, it is
colored using a darkened (or lightened, for dark color
schemes) version of the Differences color. The surrounding
difference range is colored using a subtle gray shade. None
of the other sub-line differences are colored when a specific
sub-line difference is selected.
Fixes
-----
* [318184] When using Page Up and Page Down to move the insertion
point, the location of the insertion point relative to the top
line of the document is now maintained.
* [318293] Fixed bug in which file filter terms referencing
"Parent Folder" did not work correctly.
* Fixed cosmetic bug in which the status area would be incorrectly
redrawn when clicking on the document lock icon to unlock the
backing file on disk.
* [318337] Fixed crash which would occur while typing a `#MARK`
comment callout at the very end of a PHP or C file.
* [318325] Fixed bug in which Go -> Previous/Next Difference would
select items in the Differences list, but not bring the selected
list item into view.
* [318342] Operations that select a line (such as providing a line
number to the command-line tool, or Open Selection with a
`file:line` specification) will now place the insertion
point at
the beginning of the indicated line, rather than selecting the
entire line.
* [318349] When restoring application state, documents that were
open *only* in results windows (search results, source control
status, etc) but were *not* open in any other windows are now
opened together into a new window, rather than having one new
window opened for each instance of the document that had been
displayed in a results window.
* The default for "Show tick marks in scroll bar" in the Editing
preferences (applying to "Display instances of selected
text") now
defaults to -off-, to avoid confusing the unwary.
* Made changes to increase the contrast between normal and selected
difference colors, and to make sub-line differences more visible
against the selected-difference background color.
* [318425] Fixed crash which would occur when running a text
factory from the Scripts menu and using the "Choose" button to
modify the list of items to process.
* [318475] Fixed a bug in which the HTML syntax checker would
incorrectly report errors in documents containing tags in
embedded JavaScript content.
* [318223] Put in a timeout to guard against a hang which occurs
sporadically when we request the current runtime
environment from
the user's login shell.
* [318493] Recompiled the PCRE library with a flag changed to
address an error which would occur when trying to use Grep
patterns longer than 12219(?!!) characters.
* Improved error reporting for invalid Grep patterns.
* [318531] Fixed bug in which "Process Duplicate Lines" would
delete the line following a blank line (in sort order), whether
it was blank or not.
* [318510] Fixed layout glitch in the Keyboard preferences on
OS X
10.9.
* [318530] Fixed crash which would occur when closing a document
window after having triggered a bezel alert (such as the "wrap
around" search indicator).
* [318511] Fixed bug in which using the View -> Text Display ->
Split/Unsplit Text View command would sometimes not correctly
redraw the editing view.
* [318588] Updated the search keyword tables to include new or
changed preference settings.
* [318556, 318565] Made a change to provide finer-grained control
over the Spaces behavior of the modeless windows (Find,
Multi-File Search, Open File by Name) and returned FTP/SFTP
browser window behavior in Spaces to pre-11.5 defaults.
* Added an expert preference, `PCREMatchLimitOverride`, to be used
*only* on the instructions of Tech Support to adjust an internal
circuit breaker in the PCRE library.
* [318615] We no longer ask the active printer for its output
resolution when calculating margin offsets for the "1-inch
gutter" option, since printer drivers never return the correct
answer.
* [318575] Fixed a bug in which scripted search operations against
the front document which explicitly requested results did not
receive them (nor were results displayed if requested).
* [318696] Made a change to instruct PCRE to use Unicode
properties when determining character class, so that patterns
with `\w` and others will work correctly with non-ASCII
characters.
* [318699] Fixed a bug in which making the sidebar of a new
editing window visible, either manually or by adding another
document to the window, would cause odd graphic effects when
scrolling in some situations.
* [318719] Fixed bug in which paragraph tags did not get fold
indicators.
