IBX Change Log version (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
|
2 |
|
3 |
1. Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
|
4 |
empty Params property.
|
5 |
|
6 |
2. IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3.
|
7 |
Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply
|
8 |
SQL markup on initial open.
|
9 |
|
10 |
3. "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling.
|
11 |
|
12 |
4. DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a
|
13 |
TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a
|
14 |
random image cached).
|
15 |
|
16 |
5. DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time.
|
17 |
|
18 |
6. IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid
|
19 |
even when further rows exist.
|
20 |
|
21 |
7. DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should
|
22 |
always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion.
|
23 |
Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time,
|
24 |
each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE
|
25 |
in order to remove the property value from the lfm.
|
26 |
|

IBX Change Log version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100
|
29 |
|
30 |
1. TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
|
31 |
call Prepare before setting parameter values.
|
32 |
|
33 |
2. Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter.
|
34 |
|
35 |
3. Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector.
|
36 |
|
37 |
4. Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction
|
38 |
has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost"
|
39 |
and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called
|
40 |
for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called
|
41 |
after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events
|
42 |
enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be
|
43 |
handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs
|
44 |
an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes,
|
45 |
the transaction should be committed. Rather than doing this per dataset, this
|
46 |
can now be done per transaction.
|
47 |
|
48 |
5. TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when
|
49 |
the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default,
|
50 |
discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now
|
51 |
have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes
|
52 |
on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the
|
53 |
behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges
|
54 |
then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed
|
55 |
(and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the
|
56 |
dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case,
|
57 |
no action is taken and any unsaved changes are discarded. This avoids both
|
58 |
unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post
|
59 |
raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback.
|
60 |
|
61 |
6. String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets.
|
62 |
In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character
|
63 |
width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character.
|
64 |
For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be
|
65 |
the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined
|
66 |
dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
|
67 |
system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766).
|
68 |
|
69 |
7. SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string.
|
70 |
|
71 |
8. IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the
|
72 |
control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms.
|
73 |
|
74 |
9. DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even
|
75 |
when dataset rows are less than visible rows.
|
76 |
|
77 |
10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource
|
78 |
does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event
|
79 |
OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row.
|
80 |
|
81 |
11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset
|
82 |
while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors.
|
83 |
|
84 |
12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to
|
85 |
avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables.
|
86 |
|
87 |
13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes.
|
88 |
|
89 |
14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced
|
90 |
to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by
|
91 |
a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset
|
92 |
always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate
|
93 |
to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the
|
94 |
"MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called
|
95 |
as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post
|
96 |
into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is
|
97 |
achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be
|
98 |
raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal
|
99 |
a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml)
|
100 |
|
101 |
15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon
|
102 |
separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right
|
103 |
order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux,
|
104 |
the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be
|
105 |
overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function.
|
106 |
|
107 |
Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:"
|
108 |
then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will
|
109 |
require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username
|
110 |
and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant
|
111 |
access.
|
112 |
|
113 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
|
114 |
|
115 |
1. A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
|
116 |
rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
|
117 |
that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
|
118 |
corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
|
119 |
replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
|
120 |
|
121 |
2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.
|
122 |
When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change
|
123 |
takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with
|
124 |
the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor.
|
125 |
|
126 |
3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery
|
127 |
and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to
|
128 |
Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of
|
129 |
making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly
|
130 |
committed.
|
131 |
|
132 |
4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
|
133 |
using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature.
|
134 |
|
135 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-1) Fri, 13 Mar 2015 11:14:15 +0000
|
136 |
|
137 |
Development version only.
|
138 |
|
139 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-0) Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:34:04 +0000
|
140 |
|
141 |
1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
|
142 |
This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
|
143 |
"Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
|
144 |
complexity.
|
145 |
|
146 |
2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
|
147 |
three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
|
148 |
These are:
|
149 |
|
150 |
- TIBLookupComboEditBox
|
151 |
- TIBDynamicGrid
|
152 |
- TIBTreeview
|
153 |
|
154 |
TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
|
155 |
of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
|
156 |
to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
|
157 |
typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a
|
158 |
newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
|
159 |
list items.
|
160 |
|
161 |
TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
|
162 |
- automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
|
163 |
- automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
|
164 |
column footer, on a per column basis.
|
165 |
- DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
|
166 |
A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
|
167 |
- Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
|
168 |
is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
|
169 |
number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
|
170 |
as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
|
171 |
- Reselection of the same row following resorting.
|
172 |
- A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
|
173 |
Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
|
174 |
columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
|
175 |
Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
|
176 |
is unaffected by the extension.
|
177 |
|
178 |
TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
|
179 |
|
180 |
3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
|
181 |
zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
|
182 |
|
183 |
4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
|
184 |
"GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
|
185 |
|
186 |
5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
|
187 |
repeated multiple times.
|
188 |
|
189 |
6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
|
190 |
check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
|
191 |
statements.
|
192 |
|
193 |
7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
|
194 |
Stored Procedures.
|
195 |
|
196 |
8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls
|
197 |
|
198 |
|
199 |
IBX Change Log version (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100
|
200 |
|
201 |
1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
|
202 |
setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
|
203 |
Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
|
204 |
|
205 |
2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
|
206 |
See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
|
207 |
|
208 |
3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
|
209 |
dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
|
210 |
|
211 |
4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
|
212 |
|
213 |
5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
|
214 |
actions.
|
215 |
|
216 |
6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
|
217 |
thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
|
218 |
|
219 |
7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
|
220 |
|
221 |
8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
|
222 |
for both fields and parameter setting.
|
223 |
|
224 |
9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
|
225 |
visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
|
226 |
|
227 |
10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
|
228 |
when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
|
229 |
|
230 |
11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
|
231 |
|
232 |
12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
|
233 |
GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
|
234 |
|
235 |
13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
|
236 |
of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.
|
237 |
|
238 |
|
239 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-5) Sat, 28 Dec 2013 19:22:23 +0000
|
240 |
|
241 |
1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to >= 2.7.0 to match revised availability of change.
|
242 |
|
243 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-4) Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:56:13 +0000
|
244 |
|
245 |
1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
|
246 |
it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
|
247 |
|
248 |
Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
|
249 |
|
250 |
2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
|
251 |
and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.
|
252 |
|
253 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-3) Thu, 22 Nov 2012 22:53:39 +0000
|
254 |
|
255 |
1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
|
256 |
Lazarus versions less than 1.1
|
257 |
|
258 |
2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
|
259 |
to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
|
260 |
1250 to 1254.
|
261 |
|
262 |
|
263 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-2) Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:10:30 +0100
|
264 |
|
265 |
1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to > 2.6.2 to match expected availability of change.
|
266 |
|
267 |
|
268 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-1) Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:00:04 +0100
|
269 |
|
270 |
1. In IBCustomDataset. Changed CurBookmark from string to TBookmark for compiler versions > 2.6.0
|
271 |
Necessary because of TBookmark type and TDataSet.Bookmark property change in fpc 2.7.1
|
272 |
|
273 |
2. IBX now registers TIntegerField as a "No Icon" component. This may be removed if the fpc DB
|
274 |
package is changed to do this (which it should do).
|
275 |
|
276 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-0) Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:43:00 +0100
|
277 |
|
278 |
1. Add "if active then active := false" to TIBCustomDataset destructor. (Avoid error on database close).
|
279 |
|
280 |
2. Make use of $STATIC conditional in IBSQLMonitor (Needed for FPC 2.6.0 compliance)
|
281 |
|
282 |
3. Database Property Editor: Character Set drop down box now uses "OnChange" rather than "OnCloseUp" to react to changes
|
283 |
|
284 |
4. Property editors should now correctly resize.
|
285 |
|
286 |
5. In IBDatabaseEdit.TestClick, the LoginPrompt is now set to the state of the LoginPrompt Checkbox
|
287 |
(restored original functionality)
|
288 |
|
289 |
6. Under OSX, if IBX fails to load libfbclient.dylib, it will now try and load the firebird
|
290 |
library using the absolute path /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Firebird.
|
