Release history

Version 0.4.0 (8 April 2010)

• The database schema is updated and is now at version 2. The most important difference is that the “language” and “last used” field of the library are now in a separate table, allowing it to be one-to-many. Existing databases will be converted automatically to the new schema.
• When there are multiple libraries for a language, changing to another library works and the last used library is remembered.
• The plug-in now first tries to find the database in the user's plug-in config directory. If the database can't be found there it looks in the plugin\config directory in the Notepad++ installation directory.
• Small improvements to the About dialog.
• There are now 4 HTML libraries, 1 PHP libraries, 1 XML library and 1 (rather useless) General library

Version 0.3.0 (10 February 2010)

• First alpha version, released under the GPL2 license.
• The basics work, no User Interface yet to edit the snippets.

Version 0.1.0 (22 January 2010)

• Proof of concept.
