Good { morning, afternoon, evening },

We're working on an update to BBEdit 11.5 which will 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 pre-release build at <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/9DkVYQEchNg/XGnkTNR7IAAJ>. 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.

Fixes
-----

*   [NFR] [319482] Adjusted our workaround for the "blank startup
    window" bug to avoid the "ghost sheet frames" bug.

*   [NFR] Fixed cases of selection-range flickering and/or incorrect
    redrawing when performing certain operations.

*   [NFR] Fixed One More Case(tm) in which the insertion point
highlighting would flicker, when backspacing at the end of a line.

*   [NFR] [319491] Fixed bug in which insertion point ghosts would
    be left behind when insertion-point highlighting was turned off
    and the vertical arrow keys were used to scroll.

*   [319385] Fixed bug in which custom language mappings for file
    names or file name patterns didn't work for files without a name
    extension.

*   [319395] Fixed bug in which trying to toggle "Synchro Scrolling"
in a Differences window wouldn't work when keyboard focus was in
    one of the editing views.

*   Added [Toothpaste](https://github.com/imcatnoone/toothpaste) as
    a factory-supplied color scheme.

*   Made a change so that text in non-selected differences ranges
    (which are now a neutral gray) is allowed to have its usual
    syntax coloring, rather than being forced the foreground color.

*   [319478] When refreshing the results in a Differences window,
    previously computed sub-line differences and selected-difference
    ranges are now cleared to avoid incorrect stray highlighting.

*   [319494] Introduced a new built-in language, "Shell Worksheet".
    This is just like "Unix Shell Script", except that it doesn't
allow strings to cross line boundaries. (It's a correct thing to
    do in scripts generally, but looks very strange in output.)
