New Release of the SWAG Snippet Collection

-

I've just released a "new" version of the 1997 SWAG collection of Pascal code and programming examples.

The main reason is so that the soon-to-arrive v4.16 of CodeSnip will still be able to import SWAG snippets after the old web server closes on 15 June. When that server goes the SWAG REST service that CodeSnip currently uses will go away. So, this is just in time.

Released CodeSnip v4.21.1 (bug fix)

Back in December 2022 I was quite pleased with myself for releasing the v4.21.0 update to CodeSnip . The main feature that was added in v4.21.0 work fine - automatically detecting un-registered Delphi compilers at start up - worked fine. But, oh dear, the more obscure new feature that lets you use lists in snippet descriptions was a bit of a disaster. The main implementation of lists was a bit flaky, but the main problem is that I forgot to add the implementation of lists in snippets reports and in source code comments in generated units. This pretty much trashed the reports and comments. It's taken a lot of coding to fix these bugs, hence the 4 month delay before this bug fix materialised. But I think I've managed it, although whether the new feature was worth the effort is debatable. ⏬ Get the new release from the v4.21.1 release page on GitHub. Here's what a snippet looks like in the UI when it's description contains an unordered list: Here's how the same snippe

Released CodeSnip v4.21.0

To close off the year, here's a new release of CodeSnip  that adds a couple of new features that have been in the pipeline for quite a while. The first is one I've been working on ever since a user missed out on getting Delphi 11.x Alexandria support when I added it. He expected CodeSnip to just use it when test compiling snippets. It didn't do that. I think his expectation was valid, so I decided to make CodeSnip a bit cleverer! Until now, when support for a new Delphi version was added to CodeSnip you would have to remember to tell it you wanted to use the new compiler, if you had it installed. Now, when CodeSnip starts it checks if there are any versions of Delphi on your system that are not registered with CodeSnip for use when test compiling snippets. If it finds any it offers to register them for you. This feature only works for any version of Delphi that CodeSnip knows about, which for the moment is all of them from Delphi 2 to Delphi 11.x Alexandria. This doesn'
