What's new in this version:

Fixed:
- Made a change to reduce the amount of time required to start a multi-file search when one or more data sources was a collection of discrete files (such as a project, Xcode or otherwise).
- Made a change to prevent a crash which could occur when saving a document opened via the built-in FTP/SFTP support, after the connection had previously been closed.
- Fixed a pair of bugs that conspired to cause a crash, after following a fairly convoluted process that involved opening a document from an FTP/SFTP browser window and subsequently using "Save [a Copy] to FTP/SFTP Server" on the same server.
- Fixed bug in connection management in the "Save to FTP/SFTP" panel which would cause the panel to connect to the wrong server when disconnecting from one server and reconnecting to a different server.
- Fixed bug in which using the "Find Selected Text in " menu command would report a -1708 error when the previously selected set of search sources consisted solely of "Open Editing Windows" or a subordinate window.
- Added NS_OPTIONS to the keyword lists for Objective-{C,C++}.
- Fixed bug in which Unicode characters which could not be mapped to Mac Roman were not always correctly reported when trying to save a file in that encoding. (And in cases where they weren't reported, they were usually mismapped.)
- Fixed bug in which dragging text from another application without holding the Option key down would, at the originating application's sole discretion, delete the text in the original.
- Fixed bug in which the application did not correctly reopen previously open documents in cases where it was unable to restore a Sleep State file saved by a previous normal quit, but a Saved Application State file did exist.
- Made a change to handle mis-encoded results from perldoc when using "Find in Reference"
