Released CodeSnip v4.20.0

-

Here's the first CodeSnip update of 2022!

First, there's an option to delete your user database if you really want to. Why would you do this? Well there's one possible reason and that's explained in this FAQ.

The second main change is that now the size of font in the detail pane can be customised from the Display section of the Preferences dialogue box. This setting applies to all text in the pane with the exception of the source code. The size of the source code can be changed from the Syntax Highlighter section of the same dialogue box.

While we're taking about the user database, I also fixed a bug that let you try to backup or move a non-existent user database, which wasn't pretty.

There are a few other minor tweaks that you can read about in the change log.

As usual you can download the program from GitHub or from SourceForge:

Source is available to download from both SourceForge or GitHub. Alternatively you can fork away in the GitHub repo - the master branch always contains the source of the latest release, while the develop branch has the latest development source and may not be stable.

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...
