CodeSnip Old Code (SVN)

Updated snippets validator to reject snippet names that do not begin with 'A'..'Z', 'a'..'z' or an underscore. This fixes bug #3120958 for new and edited snippets.

Fixed error in TAlphaListPageHTML.BuildRoutineList where snippets with names that started with lower case letters were not being added to the snippets list. This fixes bug #3120962.

Removed now redundant TInitialLetterList class.

Simplified and optimised TAlphaGrouping.Populate method. Now scans list of snippets list once rather than twice.

* Renamed UAlphabet unit as UInitialLetter and completely rewrote and simplified it.
* Modified units using UInitialLetter unit as necessary re changes.
* Modified TAlphaGroupItem and TAlphaGrouping to accept any upper case Unicode character instead of just "A".."Z" and "_". Uses natural sorting so, for example "Ö" sorts between "O" and "P". Now scans all snippets to build list of initial letters.

Changed TCategoryListAdapter.ToStrings so that it doesn't store the category object in the TStrings.Objects[] property.This brings it into line with TSnipKindListAdapter.ToStrings which received the same change when TSnippetKindInfo was changed from an object to a record.

* Completely rewrote and greatly simplified USnippetKindInfo unit.
* Modified using units as necessary.
* Got rid of some more FreeAndNil calls.

* Heavily revised UView unit once more to make views interfaced based.
* Updated using units re changes.
* Replaced many FreeAndNil calls with calls to .Free method.

Heavily revised UView unit
* Replaced flexible and "smelly" single TViewItem class that handled all view types with heirachy of classes for each view type.
* Added factory class.
* Updated using units re changes.

Revised splash screen image for v4.
