CodeSnip Old Code (SVN)

Updated database download web service and updating code to work with v5 of the codesnip-updt web service on delphidabbler.com. Web service no longer sends an MD5 checksum as part of the download. Instead it includes a checksum in the HTTP headers, which is automatically handled by the UTHHTPEx unit.

Fixed bug where status bar manager was causing an AV by being called after managed status bar has been destroyed.

* Updated code that reads / writes user database to use new v5 file format: database.xml now has explicit UTF-8 encoding and data files are now also written in UTF-8. Ability to read older format data files using default encoding retained.
* Updated user database file format documentation re changes.

Added overloads of FileToString and StringToFile routines that accept a parameter that determines the encoding used to read or write files.

Made some corrections and amplifications.

* Expanded introductory text.
* Added new section noting differences between file versions.
* Reformatted and edited section on supported XML tags.
* Added new section explaining .dat file format.

* Corrected some errors including adding some missing tags to section on supported tags.
* Some reformatting.

* Stream containing exported XML document is now converted to string using correct UTF-8 encoding.
* Purged some FreeAndNil statements.

* Updated re export file format v5.
* Added new section noting differences between file versions.

* Added explicit UTF-8 encoding attribute to XML processing instruction of export files.
* Updated export file version to 5. Stripped out code that calculated file version based on version of REML used now that version fixed at 5.
