CodeSnip Old Code (SVN)

Updated version number to 3.8.5.184

Updated documentation of XML file used to save user-defined snippets. Now notes that snippet names must begin with letters from English alphabet or underscore. Also notes the dXE compiler id added to support Delphi XE.

* Updated snippets editor help topic to mention restriction on snippet names to begin with an English letter or the underscore.
* Reformatted some bullet lists to make for easier reading.

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.
