Released 2020-05-02

Initial release of v2 of the collection.

Changes since last v1 release

  • Removed any code that restricted use of the collection to DelphiDabbler CodeSnip. The collection can now be used by 3rd party applications.
    • Removed backwards compatibility with CodeSnip v4.15.1 and earlier.
    • Removed conditionally included code and CodeSnip version dependent code from category .ini files.
    • Merged multiple versions of category .ini files down into a single file. (These multiple file were used to hide some categories from earlier versions of CodeSnip).
    • Removed duplicated, CodeSnip version dependent, source code files: used a copy of the most recent version and removed version specifiers from the file names.
  • Rationalised and corrected errors in category .ini files:
    • Condensed two string management categories into one.
    • Removed Desc keys where they duplicated DescEx keys.
    • Removed some duplicate Credits and Comments keys.
    • Removed some empty keys.
    • Fixed or removed some broken web links.
    • Rephrased some descriptive text.
  • Changed layout of category .ini files and categories.ini:
    • Re-ordered sections of categories.ini in alphabetic order.
    • Removed all explanatory comments: there were inconsistencies.
    • Added header comments, including copyright and licensing information, to all .ini files.
  • File format changes:
    • Removed the StandardFormat key from the specification of category .ini files.
    • Added requirements for LICENSE, LICENSE_INFO and VERSION files and added suitable files to the collection.
    • Changed the required name for the contributors and testers files to CONTRIBUTORS and TESTERS respectively. Renamed the existing contrib.txt and testers.txt files accordingly.
    • Made support for REML v4 an official requirement.
    • Dropped support for conditional inclusion of code in .ini files.
  • Added documentation:
    • Of the collection file format.
    • A read-me file.
    • This change log.
  • Ensured that all files in the collection use the UTF-8 text file preamble (aka byte order mark).
