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 <support@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 -----
- Fixed bug in which sentences preceded by line breaks didn't respond to the Capitalize Sentences option to Change Case...
- [180549] Fixed bug in which floating plug-ins (such as TextSoap) didn't get xfBBEditIsQuitting when the application was quit while their window was visible.
- [181070] Fixed a bug in which new project items couldn't be created through the scripting interface unless their properties contained an explicit `«class pexp»` key and value.
- [180502, 181157] Fixed bug in which the "Save as Stationery" option in the Save panel didn't set the "Stationery Pad" bit for the saved file when it should have.
- [180014, 180759] When doing a safe-save, the system does not attempt to preserve the ownership or permissions of the file being saved; this resulted in the ownership/permissions being reset to the umask defaults. This is not generally a problem for user-created and -managed content, but did occasionally get in the way. BBEdit now attempts to preserve permissions, but it cannot preserve ownership. If this continues to pose a problem in actual usage, disable safe-saves with the following expert preference:
Note that we do **not** recommend disabling safe-saves in general; only if you have a problem caused by the change of ownership when saving a document.
- [181207] Fixed bug in which saving a text document would cause it to be de-selected in the Multi-File Search window's sources list; in cases where the document did not get de-selected, the source list's reference to it was nonetheless invalid and in certain situations would cause an error to be reported when trying to search that document.
- [181067, 181086] Fixed bug in which the "Live Search" menu command was enabled for shell worksheet windows, but didn't actually do anything.
- [180474, 180898] Fixed bug in which the documentShouldClose attachment point was called more than once when it shouldn't have been (and its result was ignored, so if the script returned "false" the document would close anyway).
- [179945] Fixed bug in which "Find Definition" and the contextual menu would show the pseudo-definitions of symbols in completion data files (which were intended only for completion and coloring).
- [180171] Fixed crash which would occur when inserting a clipping which used the #BASENAME# placeholder.
- [180270] Restored the pre-9.5 behavior for Capitalize Sentences and Capitalize Lines, by lowercasing the string before applying the Sentence/Line transform.
- Fixed bug in which changes to some of the HTML markup preferences didn't take effect immediately when they were made, and instead required a quit/ relaunch cycle. [180762]
- [180254] Fixed bug in which prefixed Emacs commands (usually using Escape) didn't work correctly.
- [180767] Fixed bug in which disk browser windows didn't open to the correct location when restoring application state.
- [181042] Fixed bug in which leading digits would be clipped from printed line numbers when printing a selection range from a sufficiently large document.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
