Released v2.1.0 of the Code Snippets Database collection

-

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.

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

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
