Released CodeSnip 4.19.0

Image
Just in time for the new year, CodeSnip v4.19.0 has been released. This contains the promised re-organisation of the Preferences dialogue box to get rid of the confusing multi-line tabs. The dialogue box now has a list of pages in a pane on the left, with the relevant options appearing on the right. I've finally worked out how to make the size of the font in the overview pane's tree view customisable - it's only taken me a year to respond to this request. Finally, there's a fix to an obscure bug in the legacy Code Snippets Database loader code that I doubt has ever bothered anyone - but probably would if it wasn't fixed! As usual you can download the program from the delphidabbler/codesnip GitHub repo's Releases page or from SourceForge: Download Standard Edition Download Portable Edition Source is available to download from both the above repos or you can fork away in the GitHub repo . For a complete list of changes see the change log .

Code Snippets Database collection - HOTFIX 2.1.1 released

Whoops! Following the release of v2.1.0 of the  Code Snippets Database  a few days ago, I've just run  CodeSnip  in the debugger only to find it was detecting and gently ignoring some errors when loading the release! So I've rushed out a hotfix: v2.1.1. If you followed my advise a few days back and updated to v2.1.0, you really need to get this hotfix. Grab it from the project's GitHub  release page for hotfix 2.1.1 . Use CodeSnip's Database | Install or Update DelphiDabbler Snippets Database  menu option for details of how to install it. Whoops!

Released v2.1.0 of the Code Snippets Database collection

Image
I've just completed v2.1.0 of the  Code Snippets Database collection . This version tidies up the meta-data to make it more consistent and to leave behind some old legacy data that dates back to the CodeSnip program's early days. Also fixed some minor bugs and updated a few descriptions. No new snippets though. Despite there being no new snippets in this release,  CodeSnip  users are strongly advised to update since future CodeSnip releases will probably drop backwards compatibility with the now deprecated v2.0.x database file format. Information on how to update can be found from within CodeSnip by choosing the  Database | Install or Update DelphiDabbler Snippets Database  menu option. You can get the new version and read the full change log on the project's  GitHub release page .
