CodeSnip Old Code (SVN)

Added new INoPublicConstruct interface that can be supported by objects that do not permit public construction but that cannot descend from TNoPublicConstructObject, such as TForms.

Removed unused code that was causing compiler to emit hints.

* Changed TQuery to enforce that it is a singleton object: it can now only be created once.
* TQuery now instantiates itself by means of Instance property: Query function now calls TQuery.Instance rather than constructing object itself.
* Assert statements changed to use ClassName method to get class name for error messages.

Added new TNoPublicConstructIntfObject class that provides a protected constructor but fails if the public constructor is called. For use as a base class for reference counted interfaced objects that are constructed via class methods but should not be constructed directly.

Version numbers updated to 3.2.1.155, ready for next release.

* Added enumerator to TNews in UNews.pas.
* Changed FmUpdateDlg.pas to use new TNews enumerator.
* Moved MySQLDateToDateTime from UNews.pas to UUtils.pas.

Removed empty Updates directory.

Moved ChangeLog.txt from Doc\Updates to Docs directory.

Removed empty Archive directory.

Merged all information from files in Doc/Updates/Archive directory into Docs/PreSVNHistory.txt.
