 ## Overview

+> Bugs can no longer be reported and requests for new features are no longer being accepted.

 CodeSnip is an open source code bank for storing and viewing your code snippets. While it can manage snippets in any source language, it is focussed mainly on Pascal and Delphi code for which additional features are available.
 
-CodeSnip also provides offline access to the DelphiDabbler [Code Snippets Database](http://snippets.delphidabbler.com/).

 The program is available in both standard and portable editions.

-CodeSnip is installed and removed using a standard Windows installer. Administrator privileges are required for installation.

-## Bugs & Feature Requests
+<sup>†</sup> DelphiDabbler.com is due to close down on 15 June 2020. After this time these links will no longer work.
 
-Bugs can be reported using the [Bug Tracker](https://sourceforge.net/p/codesnip/bugs/) on SourceForge. Info on how best to report bugs is provided on the tracker.
+<sup>‡</sup> It is hoped to move the Code Snippets Database to GitHub before DelphiDabbler.com closes down.
 
-Feature requests can be made on the [Feature Request Tracker](https://sourceforge.net/p/codesnip/feature-requests/) on SourceForge. Once again info on how to proceed is provided.

 ## Support
 
-There's quite a lot of support available for CodeSnip:
+The following support is available for CodeSnip:
 
 * A comprehensive help file.
-* A [read-me file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/delphidabbler/codesnip/master/Docs/ReadMe.txt)<sup>*</sup> that discusses installation, configuration, updating and known issues.
-* A dedicated set of [web pages](http://delphidabbler.com/url/codesnip-home).
-* An [FAQ](http://wiki.delphidabbler.com/index.php/FAQs/CodeSnipAppUsing).
-* A [discussion group](https://sourceforge.net/p/codesnip/discussion) on SourceForge (albeit barely used!).
-* An [RSS news feed](http://delphidabbler.com/feeds/site-news-feed?id=codesnip). This can also be accessed via the program.

 There's also plenty of info available on how to compile CodeSnip from source - see below.

 ## Source Code
 
 Up to and including release 4.13.1 the project's source code was maintained in a Subversion repository on [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/p/codesnip/code/). The Subversion repo was converted to Git on 21 5 October 2015 and imported to GitHub. All releases from v3.0.0 are marked by tags in the form `version-x.x.x` where `x.x.x` is the version number.
 
 > Note that any branches that were created and deleted in the Subversion repo are missing from the Git history. So, for full details of the the project's history from v3.0.0 to v4.13.1 please refer to the old Subversion repo on SourceForge.
 
-Following tag `version-4.13.1` the [Git Flow](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) methodology was adopted, with the exception that development work on CodeSnip v5 exists outside Git Flow in the `pagoda` branch (See below for details).
+Following tag `version-4.13.1` the [Git Flow](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) methodology was adopted. The exception is the `pagoda` branch that sits outside Git Flow. This branch was originally planned to be the CodeSnip v5 development branch (see [below](#codesnip-5-development) for details).
 
 Up to and including release 4.13.1, `master` is simply a copy of the old Subversion `trunk` and, as such, contains various development commits along with numerous commits related to management of Subversion. After release 4.13.1, and the addition of this read-me file, `master` contains only commits relating to an actual release.
 
 ### Contributions
 
-Contributions are welcome. Just fork the repo and create a feature branch off the `develop` branch. Commit your changes to your feature branch then submit a pull request when ready.

-If you are contributing to CodeSnip 5 development please create your feature branch off the `pagoda` branch instead.
+Contributions are no longer accepted for this repo. If you wish to take over development, please fork the repo and take it where you wish.
 
 ### Compiling
 
 `master` and each branch will have a file in the root directory named `Build.html` that gives detailed information about how to compile CodeSnip.
 
-There is also a [FAQ](http://wiki.delphidabbler.com/index.php/FAQs/CodeSnipAppSource).

 ## CodeSnip 5 Development
 
-Following a false start back in 2013/4 in the `parsnip` branch, development of CodeSnip 5 has restarted. The code can be found in the `pagoda` branch, which picks up where `parsnip` left off. (Don't ask where those names came from!)

-At present the direction CodeSnip is being taken is to:
+Unfortunately `pagoda` has also been abandoned now. The branch has been left in place in case anyone else wants to continue development.
 
-1. Generalise it to be a code bank for several different languages instead of just Pascal, while still providing some additional support for test-compiling Pascal code.
-2. Increase the focus on the user's own code while downplaying the importance of code downloaded from the DelphiDabbler [Code Snippets database](http://snippets.delphidabbler.com/). This will still be available but will be very much an add on, like [SWAG](http://swag.delphidabbler.com/) is at present.
-3. Remove the program's dependency on web services provided by [DelphiDabbler.com](http://delphidabbler.com) given the current uncertainty over that websites future.
