CodeSnip News Dialogue Box

This dialogue box is displayed from the Help | CodeSnip News menu item.

It shows the latest news about CodeSnip and the online database. The news is obtained from CodeSnip's online RSS news feed. The titles of most items are clickable and will display a web page relevant to the news item when clicked.

The maximum age of the news items is shown at the top of the window. By default this is 92 days. You can change this by clicking the Change button, which will display the News tab of the Preferences dialogue box. Enter a new value there and click OK. If the value has changed the news will be re-loaded, showing items from the date range specified.

If the news feed is not available or there is an error, a message to that effect is displayed.

You can display the RSS feed in your default web browser by clicking the RSS Feed button. Depending on your browser, you may be able to subscribe to the feed from there.
