TopStyle Pro 3.12 Release Notes

Build Date: July 25, 2005

Changes in Version 3.12 Beta 2

Added: Thesaurus lookup for current word in HTML documents (Shift+F7). Note that the thesaurus is based on the public domain version of Roget's Thesaurus, so it's limited to the English language and does not include many modern words. Despite these limitations, I hope that you still find it a useful addition.
Changed: Default shortcut for "Configure Style Sweeper" changed from Shift+F7 to Ctrl+F7
Fixed: .htaccess files fail to appear in file list even when filter is set to "All Files" (22304)
Fixed: Form element's 'accept-charset' attribute is misspelled (27011)
Fixed: Style checker incorrectly parses URL values containing single quotes
Fixed: Insight for aural CSS properties incorrectly prompts for image rather than audio URL (23817)
Fixed: Insight doesn't include 'inherit' for CSS properties that support it (23816)

Changes in Version 3.12 Beta 1

Added: Hyperlinking of HTML id attributes
Added: Color-coding and hyperlinking of class attributes containing multiple classes (ex: <div class="class1 class2">)
Added: Linefeed format (PC/Unix/Mac) added to "Editor" page in options
Added: Ctrl+PgUp/Ctrl+PgDwn move to top/bottom of editor page
Changed: HTTP routines completely rewritten to better handle proxies and firewalls (build site, open from web, W3C validation, etc.)
Changed: The style checker error "Property doesn't exist in this definition" has been clarified. Ex: when checking against NN4, TopStyle would report "Property height does not exist in the style definition," but it now reports "Property height does not exist in Netscape 4."
Removed: Watchfire no longer offers their Bobby accessibility checker, so TopStyle's integration with Bobby has been removed
Removed: Outdated Netscape 4 errors no longer automatically added to style checker results (Netscape 4 is dead!)
Fixed: Focus stolen from editor when using Mozilla control as internal browser. Please note that the actual bug is in the Mozilla control itself, so this fix merely works around the problem - which means that there's a chance that it won't work with future versions of the Mozilla control.
Fixed: Access violation after unindenting the entire document multiple times, then moving mouse over hyperlink
Fixed: HTTP downloads fail on XP SP2
Fixed: CSS preview incorrectly reformats URLs when working from a UNC share
Fixed: "Open from Web" incorrectly handles style sheets that were @imported into other style sheets using a root link
Fixed: "New Style Sheet" wizard inserts elements in uppercase
Fixed: Access violation when closing TopStyle or TopStyle Lite when Microsoft's Fingerprint Reader is installed

Changes in Version 3.11

Added: "Auto-convert special characters" added to Editor page in Options. This converts special characters to HTML entities in both typed and pasted text.
Added: "Goto Line" added to Edit menu (Alt+G)
Added: CSS Level 2.1 style definition
Added: Netscape 7 style definition
Added: Safari 1.0 style definition
Added: NS7 added to property help
Added: Firefox auto-detected as external browser
Added: Color-coding support for PHP # line comments
Added: "Check for New Version" added to Help menu
Added: Previous version used Ctrl+M to find matching tag/delimiter. Added Ctrl+Alt+M, which does the same match, then selects everything within the delimiters.
Added: "Size" column added to file panel
Added: The bundled Tidy.exe has been upgraded to the August 2004 version, and the following HTML Tidy options have been added: css-prefix, merge-divs, output-html, replace-color, punctuation-wrap, vertical-space, newline
Added: "Toggle Split View Focus" added to available keyboard shortcuts, which enables switching the focus between editors when in split view. Note that no shortcut is defined by default, nor is this command exposed as a menu item.
Added: When insight menu is showing, <Tab> and <Space> now select the current item rather than cancelling insight
Added: Typing a character while the file list has the focus locates the next file starting with that character
Added: Mozilla's "-moz" CSS extensions are now included in the Netscape 7 style definition
Added: "Insert closing brace on same line when auto-completing braces" added to Editor page in Options. When the "Auto-complete open braces in style rules" option is enabled, enabling this option will insert the closing brace on the same line as the open brace.
Added: "Ask to reload files modified outside of TopStyle" added to general page in options. When focus returns to TopStyle, this setting (which is on by default) tells TopStyle to check whether the current document has been modified by another application, and if so, ask whether to reload it. Note that previous versions of TopStyle always asked to reload modified documents.

Changed: In previous versions, the main menu and the toolbars could both be customized or dragged to a new location. This has been changed so that only the toolbars can be modified. Menu information is no longer stored with each layout, so the main menu always appears at the top left and contains the same items regardless of which layout is selected.
Changed: Increased font size in help file
Changed: Decreased mouse sensitivity of automatic view bar display
Changed: Pasting large block of HTML into new, unsaved CSS document forces TopStyle to treat the document as HTML rather than CSS
Changed: "Find Matching Tag or Delimiter" completely rewritten to be reliable regardless of whether you're in HTML, script or CSS
Changed: The inspector no longer scrolls when the current CSS rule is changed in the editor
Changed: In previous versions, the save button was only enabled when the current document had been modified, but now the save button is always enabled
Changed: "Find all" and "replace all" now honor the "Start from cursor" option (previous versions always started from the top)
Changed: When an image is drag-and-dropped into the editor, previous versions inserted the <img> tag with the height attribute before the width. This has been reversed so that width is inserted first.

Removed: The IE3, combined "Netscape 4 and IE4", MSN TV, Opera 3.5, Opera 4, WebTV Plus and Safe List style definitions are no longer installed with TopStyle (outdated). However, if you have a previous version of TopStyle installed, your existing versions of these style definitions will be left intact.
Removed: IE3, O35 and O4 have been removed from property help

Known Issues

TopStyle doesn't support editing Unicode/DBCS files (including UTF-8)
TopStyle's thumbnail viewer doesn't support PNG images
The style checker doesn't examine HTML style attributes
Keyboard shortcuts dialog doesn't accept NumPad +/-
When calculating specificity, TopStyle doesn't take !important rules into account.
Color coding of ASP, PHP, etc., within HTML strings is not supported. Likewise, escaped quotes in script strings may confuse the color coding parser.
The spell checker only checks the spelling of words inside content, so it doesn't check the spelling inside alt attributes, etc.
The site reports don't support the use of multiple class names in an HTML element (ex: <div class="one two">). TopStyle's editor also doesn't color-code multiple classes in HTML elements.
Alternate style sheets are incorrectly listed as "unused" in the site summary.
The "Edit HTML Class" and class hyperlink features don't support style sheets which are imported (via @import) by a style sheet linked to the current HTML document.
