Good afternoon folks,

We're working on an update to BBEdit 11 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 changes since the most recent pre-release (whose own notes are here: <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bbedit/elMkF3BPa-Q/6g94RUi_AAAJ>).

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 11.6 (3933) (2016-06-10)

Additions
---------

*   Custom keyword files (those that live in `Application
    Support/BBEdit/Custom Keywords`) can now use an Emacs mode line
    to specify their language. This addresses the case in which you
    want to supply keywords for a language that doesn't have any
    filename extension mappings. For example. "`.php`" maps to "PHP
in HTML", which means that embedded PHP keywords need to be in a keywords file that maps to the "PHP" language. Such a keyword file
    would look like this:

    <code>
        -*- mode: php; -*-

        keyword_one
        keyword_two
        ...etc...
    </code>

Emacs mode lines and blank lines in the keyword file will be ignored.

*   [322970] When an untitled document is active in a window, the
    window's entry in the Window menu will be annotated with some
    text derived from the beginning of the document's contents.

Changes
-------

*   [DOC] Moved the "License" command further down the application
    menu, and removed the ellipses from the "Preferences" and "Setup"
    commands.

Fixes
-----

*   [NFR] Fixed a bug in which new-logic path truncation was
    inappropriately applied to selected text in a document, which
would run the application out of memory if the selected text was
    long enough and contained a lot of slashes.

*   [NFR] Added some characters to the output of `bbedit -h` to
    include offsets in line number specifiers.

*   Fixed a bug in which the highlight color was incorrect after
    selecting a color scheme in some circumstances.
