Good { morning, afternoon, evening },
The announcement of a pre-release version on the list may come
as a surprise to some of you. :-) When preparing maintenance
updates (which primarily consist of bug fixes, with few to no
new features), we're going to post notification of the new
versions to this list, so that anyone who's interested can take
the new build for a spin.
Note that these are _pre-release_ versions. 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.
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 supp...@barebones.com and we will deal
with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on
topic and productive for all list members.

Fixes
-
* [191540] Failing to reopen a document when starting up (or
restoring from sleep state) will no longer cause the entire process
to be abandoned.
* Results (syntax check, etc) contained entirely within a single file
are now generated as a flat list, rather than a top-level node for
the file with a list of subordinate items.
* Results windows from common tasks (markup syntax, SCM operations,
and a few others) are now singletons, whose contents are replaced
with the results from the most recent invocation. If there are no
results, BBEdit will close the window.
* [196689] Fixed bug in which list items which should have been
scrolled fully into view were not.
* Added factory default mapping for .erb to Ruby in HTML. (If
you're updating from a previous version, you will need to add the
mapping yourself, in the Languages preferences.)
* Added mappings to the application's property list so that .erb and
.json are known by the system as being editable with BBEdit.
* Closed another loophole in app state restoration, when SCM results
(and other non-search results) windows are part of the saved state.
* [197356] Restored the Unix Scripting Tools button palette to
working order.
- [193444] Fixed a bug in the markdown module which prevented coloring
of indented link defs.
* [197692] Fixed formatting goof in Update Site Images results reporting.
* Fixed a small handful of memory leaks.
* Corrected selection range after HTML/XML Un/Comment.
* Restored previous behavior in SCM output log files (most recent
entry header is now selected and scrolled into view).
* [197701] Fixed bug in which the default site was checked when doing
Check Site Links, even if you selected a different site.
* When you click on a displayed file name in a project file list,
BBEdit will check to see if its contents look like text and open it
if so (in the case where the file's metadata are insufficient).
- Added support for the `s` tag as specified by the HTML5 spec
at [whatwg.org](http://www.whatwg.org/)
- Updated the list of HTML5's legal values for the `rel` attribute on
`a`, `area`, and `link` tags, based on a union of the values
provided on the [WHATWG](http://www.whatwg.org/) and
[microformats.org](http://www.microformats.org/) lists (per a
recommendation of a helpful member of the HTML5 working group).
* [197643] `find`, `replace`, and `grep substitution` scripting
events which are targeted at a text document will now be delegated
to the text object of the document.
* [197430] Fixed bug in which file filters with date terms didn't
work correctly.
* [196620, 197599] Armorplated the site of a reported crash in order
to prevent future occurrences.
* [197727] Fixed bug in which services returning UTF-16 data would
have half of it ignored.
* When providing data to services, the application now provides UTF-8
natively, as well as UTF-16 and Mac Roman (the latter is skipped if
the text being provided contains Unicode glyphs that can't be mapped
to Mac Roman).
* Removed special-case handling of
