http://www.delphidabbler.com/ Information about updates to DelphiDabbler CodeSnip and the Code Snippets database en-gb Peter D Johnson 2012 (www.delphidabbler.com) Tue, 01 May 2012 00:44:33 +0000 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss http://www.delphidabbler.com/url/1203 The Mathematics category of the Code Snippets database has been updated. The GCD routine has been updated and correctly credited. There's a new LCD (Least common divisor) and a new DecimalToFraction routine. http://www.delphidabbler.com/news/2012/5/1/185 Tue, 01 May 2012 00:44:33 +0000 http://www.delphidabbler.com/url/1202 No Code Snippets Database updates for months and then two in one day! In this one there are three routines for checking if a string is a valid Single, Double or Extended floating point number. There's also a routine to convert a positive whole number into Roman notation. A single new date / time routine converts a whole number of milliseconds into a TDateTime. There's a whole bunch of new overloaded Exchange procedures that swap the values of two integers. There are overloads for signed and unsigned versions of 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit integers. Oh yes, the old and now superseded ExchangeInt routine has moved from the Mathematics category to join its new friends in the Utilities category. http://www.delphidabbler.com/news/2012/4/22/183 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 21:00:36 +0000 http://www.delphidabbler.com/url/1201 The online Code Snippets database has been updated with two new graphics routines and two new type definitions. The first routine is ContrastingColor that selects either a black or white foreground colour that contrasts with a given background. The second routine is CountColors that counts the number of unique colours in a 24 bit bitmap. The new types support working with 24 bit and 32 bit scanlines. Other than that a few types and some constants that relate to graphics routines have been moved from the Types and Constants categories into Graphics. http://www.delphidabbler.com/news/2012/4/22/182 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 08:46:23 +0000 http://www.delphidabbler.comhttps://sourceforge.net/projects/codesnip/files/Release-4.0.0-alpha.2/ The 2nd alpha (preview) release of CodeSnip v4 has now been released. This provides the core new features slated for v4 - new "unit" and "class" snippet types. The first lets you include whole units in the snippets database that can be test compiled. The second "class" type is for classes and advanced records along with their method implementations. Snippets of this type can be test compiled and included in generated units. There are other new features that you can read about in the change log at http://delphidabbler.com/software/codesnip/log?v=4. Note that this version is available only on source forge, in either executable or source code format. http://www.delphidabbler.com/news/2012/4/21/181 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 14:47:15 +0000 http://www.delphidabbler.com/software/codesnip This is a bug fix release of CodeSnip that fixes an obscure bug that can corrupt source code units generated by CodeSnip. The circumstances when this occurs are not commonplace, but you are advised to update just in case. See the bug report at http://bit.ly/IsCsun for full details. http://www.delphidabbler.com/news/2012/4/20/180 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:10:34 +0000 http://www.delphidabbler.com/software/codesnip CodeSnip v3.10.0 has been released. It's a minor update that simply adds a new Help | On The Web | FAQs menu option that displays the CodeSnip FAQ in the default browser. Some niggling UI problems in dialogue boxes using tabbed page controls were also fixed. http://www.delphidabbler.com/news/2012/4/17/179 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:58:47 +0000
