1 tony 41 IBX Change Log version (1.4-2) Sat, 16 Jul 2016 13:25:48 +0100
2    
3     1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
4     read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
5     improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
6    
7     2. Clearing a Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
8    
9     3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
10     is now used.
11    
12     4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
13     determined.
14    
15     5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
16    
17     6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post
18     lazarus 1.6.0
19    
20     7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages"
21     compilation error.

24    
25     1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
26     character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
27     Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
28     set as the connection.
29    
30     2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
31     for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
32    
33     3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
34     to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
35     entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
36    
37     4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
38     column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
39     Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
40    
41     5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
42     column width.
43    
44     6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
45     and a case insensitive search is requested.
46    
47     7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
48     or column ListSource.
49    
50     8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
51     unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
52    
53     9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
54     Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
55    
56     10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
57     Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
58    
59     11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
60    
61     12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
62     string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
63     Firebird driver transliteration, if any. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
64     earlier versions.
65    
66     13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
67     will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
68     if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
69    
70     14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
71     is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
72     the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
73     platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
74     3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
75     the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
76    
77     15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
78     name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
79     Database is connected.
80    
81     16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
82     id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.
83    
84 tony 37 IBX Change Log version (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000
85    
86     1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
87     path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
88     temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
89     prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
90     be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
91    
92     2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
93     i. The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
94     ii. If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
95     points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
96     "bin" directory.
97     iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
98     is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
99     "bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
100     iv. The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
101     are searched for the FB Client DLL.
102     v. The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
103     vi. Finally the PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
104    
105     3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
106     See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
107    
108     4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
109     simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
110     See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
111    
112     5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
113     dynamic columns.
114    
115     6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
116     between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.
117    
118 tony 35 IBX Change Log version (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
119    
120 tony 37 1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
121    
122 tony 35 1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
123    
124     2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
125    
126     3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
127    
128     4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
129     i.e. when it is a calculated field
130    
131     5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
132     This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
133     determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
134     is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
135     be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
136     calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
137    
138     6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
139     Windows.
140    
141     7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
142     These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
143 tony 37 to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
144 tony 35
145     8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
146 tony 37 TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
147 tony 35
148     9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
149     TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
150 tony 37 1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
151 tony 35
152     Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
153     from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
154     implies no truncation.
155    
156     10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
157    
158     11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
159     (avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
160    
161     12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
162    
163     13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
164     DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
165    
166     14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
167    
168     15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
169    
170     16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
171    
172     17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.
173    
174 tony 33 IBX Change Log version (1.3-1) Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:30:50 +0100
175 tony 31
176     1. OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties
177    
178     2. IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids
179     problem with row size when exception is called.
180    
181     3. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit.
182    
183     4. IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if
184     in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo
185    
186     5. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text
187     keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed
188    
189 tony 33 6. Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support
190     console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and
191     cursor management) centralised in the IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is
192     not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program.
193     See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a
194     console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your
195     application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package.
196 tony 31
197     IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order
198     to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is
199 tony 33 included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause.
200 tony 31 This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why
201     you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The
202     ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs
203     to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the
204     unit search paths set up correctly.
205    
206 tony 33 Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in
207     each project's source file (*.lpr).
208    
209 tony 31 You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode
210     exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This
211     adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently
212     available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file.
213    
214 tony 33 Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode.
215 tony 31
216     7. SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines
217    
218     8. IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end
219     of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a
220     column and then inserting text.
221    
222     9. New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor.
223    
224     10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer
225     write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the
226     IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write
227     of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could
228     not be automatically recognised.
229    
230     11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor
231 tony 33 already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical.
232 tony 31
233     12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error
234     when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the
235     table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix.
236    
237 tony 33 13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead
238     of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing
239     users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications.
240 tony 29
241 tony 33 IBX Change Log version (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
242    
243 tony 29 1. Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
244     empty Params property.
245    
246     2. IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3.
247     Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply
248     SQL markup on initial open.
249    
250     3. "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling.
251    
252     4. DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a
253     TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a
254     random image cached).
255    
256     5. DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time.
257    
258     6. IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid
259     even when further rows exist.
260    
261     7. DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should
262     always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion.
263     Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time,
264     each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE
265     in order to remove the property value from the lfm.
266    
267    
268 tony 33 IBX Change Log version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100
269 tony 27
270     1. TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
271     call Prepare before setting parameter values.
272    
273     2. Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter.
274    
275     3. Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector.
276    
277     4. Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction
278     has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost"
279     and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called
280     for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called
281     after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events
282     enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be
283     handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs
284     an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes,
285     the transaction should be committed. Rather than doing this per dataset, this
286     can now be done per transaction.
287    
288     5. TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when
289     the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default,
290     discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now
291     have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes
292     on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the
293     behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges
294     then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed
295     (and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the
296     dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case,
297     no action is taken and any unsaved changes are discarded. This avoids both
298     unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post
299     raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback.
300    
301     6. String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets.
302     In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character
303     width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character.
304     For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be
305     the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined
306     dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
307     system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766).
308    
309     7. SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string.
310    
311     8. IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the
312     control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms.
313    
314     9. DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even
315     when dataset rows are less than visible rows.
316    
317     10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource
318     does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event
319     OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row.
320    
321     11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset
322     while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors.
323    
324     12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to
325     avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables.
326    
327     13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes.
328    
329     14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced
330     to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by
331     a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset
332     always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate
333     to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the
334     "MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called
335     as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post
336     into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is
337     achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be
338     raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal
339     a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml)
340    
341     15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon
342     separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right
343     order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux,
344     the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be
345     overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function.
346    
347     Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:"
348     then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will
349     require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username
350     and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant
351     access.
352    
353 tony 33 IBX Change Log version (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
354 tony 23
355     1. A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
356     rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
357     that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
358 tony 27 corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
359 tony 23 replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
360    
361     2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.
362 tony 25 When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change
363 tony 23 takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with
364     the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor.
365    
366     3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery
367     and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to
368     Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of
369     making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly
370     committed.
371    
372 tony 25 4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
373 tony 27 using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature.

377     Development version only.
378    
379 tony 33 IBX Change Log version (1.2-0) Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:34:04 +0000
380 tony 21
381     1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
382     This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
383     "Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
384     complexity.
385    
386     2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
387     three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
388     These are:
389    
390     - TIBLookupComboEditBox
391     - TIBDynamicGrid
392     - TIBTreeview
393    
394     TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
395     of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
396     to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
397 tony 25 typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a
398 tony 21 newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
399     list items.
400    
401     TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
402     - automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
403     - automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
404     column footer, on a per column basis.
405     - DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
406     A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
407     - Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
408     is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
409     number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
410     as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
411     - Reselection of the same row following resorting.
412     - A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
413     Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
414     columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
415     Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
416     is unaffected by the extension.
417    
418     TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
419    
420     3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
421     zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
422    
423     4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
424     "GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
425    
426     5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
427     repeated multiple times.
428    
429     6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
430     check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
431     statements.
432    
433     7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
434     Stored Procedures.
435    
436     8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls

441     1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
442     setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
443     Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
444    
445     2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
446     See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
447    
448     3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
449     dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
450    
451     4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
452    
453     5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
454     actions.
455    
456     6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
457     thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
458    
459     7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
460    
461     8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
462     for both fields and parameter setting.
463    
464     9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
465     visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
466    
467     10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
468     when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
469    
470     11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
471    
472     12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
473     GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
474    
475     13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
476     of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.

484    
485     1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
486     it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
487    
488     Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
489    
490     2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
491     and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.

494    
495     1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
496     Lazarus versions less than 1.1
497    
498     2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
499     to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
500     1250 to 1254.

510     1. In IBCustomDataset. Changed CurBookmark from string to TBookmark for compiler versions > 2.6.0
511     Necessary because of TBookmark type and TDataSet.Bookmark property change in fpc 2.7.1
512    
513     2. IBX now registers TIntegerField as a "No Icon" component. This may be removed if the fpc DB
514     package is changed to do this (which it should do).
515    
516     IBX Change Log version (1.0-0) Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:43:00 +0100
517    
518     1. Add "if active then active := false" to TIBCustomDataset destructor. (Avoid error on database close).
519    
520     2. Make use of $STATIC conditional in IBSQLMonitor (Needed for FPC 2.6.0 compliance)
521    
522     3. Database Property Editor: Character Set drop down box now uses "OnChange" rather than "OnCloseUp" to react to changes
523    
524     4. Property editors should now correctly resize.
525    
526     5. In IBDatabaseEdit.TestClick, the LoginPrompt is now set to the state of the LoginPrompt Checkbox
527     (restored original functionality)
528    
529     6. Under OSX, if IBX fails to load libfbclient.dylib, it will now try and load the firebird
530     library using the absolute path /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Firebird.
