CodeSnip v4.13.0 Released

-

CodeSnip v4.13.0 has just been released and adds supports for test compiling snippets with Delphi 10 Seattle.

The program's Configure Compilers dialogue box should now be able to auto-detect Delphi 10 on systems where it is installed. Since I don't have Delphi 10 Seattle installed I'd be grateful if any users who do can let me know if this works: please leave a comment.

To configure to CodeSnip to work with Delphi 10 Seattle, select the Tools | Configure Compilers menu option and in the resulting dialogue box click the Detect Delphi Compilers button. If the compiler has been detected it will appear in bold in the list of compilers on the left of the dialogue window.

Note: Any AppMethod installations may be reported as Delphi.

Improved Build Process

As from this release the build process has been simplified for those wishing to build the program from source. You no longer need the Microsoft MIDL compiler, and hence the MS SDK to build the program's type library. This can now be built using only tools provided with Delphi.

For detailed information on how to build CodeSnip 4.13.0 please see the file Build.html in the source code download above or in the version-4.13.0 tag branch of the Subversion repo.

Finally, months after I meant to, I've released v2.2.0 of the DelphiDabbler Code Snippets Collection. This is a collection of snippets that can be loaded into CodeSnip program. To do so, download csdb-v2.2.0-data.zip from the GitHub release page . Unzip it somewhere on your system then run CodeSnip. Select the Install or Update DelphiDabbler Snippets Database  menu option and follow the wizard. If you would like to run tests on some of the snippets then download  csdb-v2.2.0-tests.zip  from the same place. Read the included read-me file for info about how to run the tests. Finally there's comprehensive documentation in  csdb-v2.2.0-docs.zip . In this release the main feature is the addition of a few routines to the Mathematics category. Specifically there are three IEEE conformant Pown routines and a couple of heavily overloaded summing functions. For details of these and other changes see the change log .

CodeSnip v4.23.0 Released

-

Today I released an  update to CodeSnip  that makes two little changes: The marketing names have been removed from later Delphi versions (e.g. Athens & Rio) to save space in the UI if you have several versions of Delphi registered. So now instead of seeing Delphi 12 Athens you will see Delphi 12.x , for example. The built in REML markup language that can be used to format snippet descriptions and "Extra" text, now supports the ' character entity that gets replaced by a single quote when rendered. For the complete change log see here . Compiler name changes in v4.23.0 New REML character entity in v4.23.0

Never make new year's resolutions - dumping CodeSnip Belvedere

Over 9 years I've had three attempts at creating CodeSnip 5. All have been very ambitious. The latest was CodeSnip Belvedere, rashly announced on new year's day this year. Now I never normally make new year's resolutions, and I should have stuck with that tradition! Of course Belvedere foundered - it was way too ambitious. Again. I was overwhelmed right from the start. Just look at the repo where there have been bugger all commits . So here's a new announcement I can stick by: Belvedere is dead, abandoned, gone. The idea to rebuild CodeSnip from the ground up was an attractive proposition, but it was way too much work. Right from the start I seemed to have an inkling I might have bitten off more than I could chew, because I even queried the wisdom of the new year's resolution in the announcement itself ! And that's what all the failed attempts to create the next release have in common: the plans for the new version were always too ambitious . Maybe I've le...
