Code Snippets Database Version Support

When updating the Code Snippets Database, I have always maintained compatibility with all versions of my CodeSnip program: as many snippets as possible have been available in all versions of CodeSnip.

As CodeSnip has developed, and more and more features have been added, supporting them all has become something of a burden.

So I've decided to stop releasing snippets that support CodeSnip v2 and earlier from the end of the year.

This means that, as of 1st January 2013, any new snippets added to the database will not be visible in CodeSnip v2 and earlier. Existing snippets will continue to be available - I'm not planning to take anything down that's already there.

If you're one of the few remaining users of the early CodeSnip versions it's really time to update.

There are differences between snippets used in CodeSnip v3 and the new v4, but these are much easier to manage, and so all snippets will continue to be available for both versions, unless they need the new features introduced in v4, such as units, class types etc.

Comments are very welcome, but please don't comment here if:

1) You have a query about, or a bug report for, one of my programs or libraries. Most of my posts contain a link to the relevant repository where there will be an issue tracker you can use.

2) You have a query about any 3rd party programs I feature, please address them to the program's developer(s) - there will be a link in the post.

3) You're one of the tiny, tiny minority who are aggressive or abusive - in the bin you go!

Thanks
