1 tony 43 IBX Change Log version (1.4-3) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:15 +0100
2    
3     1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration
4     when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for
5     http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622.
6    
7     2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server
8     since Firebird 1.5.
9    
10     3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or
11     similar.
12    
13     4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id.
14    
15     5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in
16     Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16.
17    
18     6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8
19     regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
20     is for compatibility with the LCL.
21

23    
24     1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
25     read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
26     improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
27    
28     2. Clearing a Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
29    
30     3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
31     is now used.
32    
33     4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
34     determined.
35    
36     5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
37    
38     6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post
39     lazarus 1.6.0
40    
41     7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages"
42     compilation error.

45    
46     1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
47     character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
48     Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
49     set as the connection.
50    
51     2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
52     for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
53    
54     3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
55     to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
56     entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
57    
58     4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
59     column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
60     Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
61    
62     5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
63     column width.
64    
65     6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
66     and a case insensitive search is requested.
67    
68     7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
69     or column ListSource.
70    
71     8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
72     unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
73    
74     9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
75     Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
76    
77     10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
78     Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
79    
80     11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
81    
82     12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
83     string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
84     Firebird driver transliteration, if any. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
85     earlier versions.
86    
87     13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
88     will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
89     if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
90    
91     14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
92     is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
93     the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
94     platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
95     3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
96     the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
97    
98     15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
99     name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
100     Database is connected.
101    
102     16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
103     id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.
104    
105 tony 37 IBX Change Log version (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000
106    
107     1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
108     path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
109     temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
110     prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
111     be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
112    
113     2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
114     i. The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
115     ii. If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
116     points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
117     "bin" directory.
118     iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
119     is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
120     "bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
121     iv. The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
122     are searched for the FB Client DLL.
123     v. The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
124     vi. Finally the PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
125    
126     3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
127     See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
128    
129     4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
130     simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
131     See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
132    
133     5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
134     dynamic columns.
135    
136     6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
137     between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.
138    
139 tony 35 IBX Change Log version (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
140    
141 tony 37 1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
142    
143 tony 35 1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
144    
145     2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
146    
147     3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
148    
149     4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
150     i.e. when it is a calculated field
151    
152     5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
153     This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
154     determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
155     is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
156     be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
157     calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
158    
159     6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
160     Windows.
161    
162     7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
163     These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
164 tony 37 to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
165 tony 35
166     8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
167 tony 37 TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
168 tony 35
169     9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
170     TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
171 tony 37 1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
172 tony 35
173     Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
174     from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
175     implies no truncation.
176    
177     10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
178    
179     11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
180     (avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
181    
182     12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
183    
184     13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
185     DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
186    
187     14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
188    
189     15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
190    
191     16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
192    
193     17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.
194    
195 tony 33 IBX Change Log version (1.3-1) Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:30:50 +0100
196 tony 31
197     1. OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties
198    
199     2. IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids
200     problem with row size when exception is called.
201    
202     3. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit.
203    
204     4. IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if
205     in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo
206    
207     5. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text
208     keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed
209    
210 tony 33 6. Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support
211     console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and
212     cursor management) centralised in the IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is
213     not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program.
214     See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a
215     console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your
216     application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package.
217 tony 31
218     IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order
219     to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is
220 tony 33 included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause.
221 tony 31 This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why
222     you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The
223     ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs
224     to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the
225     unit search paths set up correctly.
226    
227 tony 33 Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in
228     each project's source file (*.lpr).
229    
230 tony 31 You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode
231     exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This
232     adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently
233     available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file.
234    
235 tony 33 Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode.
236 tony 31
237     7. SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines
238    
239     8. IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end
240     of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a
241     column and then inserting text.
242    
243     9. New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor.
244    
245     10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer
246     write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the
247     IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write
248     of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could
249     not be automatically recognised.
250    
251     11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor
252 tony 33 already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical.
253 tony 31
254     12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error
255     when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the
256     table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix.
257    
258 tony 33 13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead
259     of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing
260     users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications.
261 tony 29
262 tony 33 IBX Change Log version (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
263    
264 tony 29 1. Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
265     empty Params property.
266    
267     2. IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3.
268     Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply
269     SQL markup on initial open.
270    
271     3. "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling.
272    
273     4. DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a
274     TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a
275     random image cached).
276    
277     5. DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time.
278    
279     6. IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid
280     even when further rows exist.
281    
282     7. DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should
283     always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion.
284     Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time,
285     each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE
286     in order to remove the property value from the lfm.
287    
288    
289 tony 33 IBX Change Log version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100
290 tony 27
291     1. TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
292     call Prepare before setting parameter values.
293    
294     2. Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter.
295    
296     3. Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector.
297    
298     4. Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction
299     has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost"
300     and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called
301     for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called
302     after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events
303     enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be
304     handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs
305     an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes,
306     the transaction should be committed. Rather than doing this per dataset, this
307     can now be done per transaction.
308    
309     5. TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when
310     the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default,
311     discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now
312     have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes
313     on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the
314     behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges
315     then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed
316     (and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the
317     dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case,
318     no action is taken and any unsaved changes are discarded. This avoids both
319     unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post
320     raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback.
321    
322     6. String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets.
323     In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character
324     width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character.
325     For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be
326     the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined
327     dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
328     system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766).
329    
330     7. SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string.
331    
332     8. IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the
333     control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms.
334    
335     9. DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even
336     when dataset rows are less than visible rows.
337    
338     10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource
339     does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event
340     OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row.
341    
342     11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset
343     while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors.
344    
345     12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to
346     avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables.
347    
348     13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes.
349    
350     14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced
351     to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by
352     a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset
353     always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate
354     to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the
355     "MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called
356     as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post
357     into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is
358     achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be
359     raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal
360     a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml)
361    
362     15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon
363     separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right
364     order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux,
365     the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be
366     overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function.
367    
368     Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:"
369     then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will
370     require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username
371     and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant
372     access.
373    
374 tony 33 IBX Change Log version (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
375 tony 23
376     1. A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
377     rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
378     that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
379 tony 27 corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
380 tony 23 replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
381    
382     2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.
383 tony 25 When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change
384 tony 23 takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with
385     the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor.
386    
387     3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery
388     and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to
389     Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of
390     making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly

402     1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
403     This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
404     "Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
405     complexity.
406    
407     2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
408     three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
409     These are:
410    
411     - TIBLookupComboEditBox
412     - TIBDynamicGrid
413     - TIBTreeview
414    
415     TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
416     of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
417     to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
418 tony 25 typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a
419 tony 21 newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
420     list items.
421    
422     TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
423     - automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
424     - automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
425     column footer, on a per column basis.
426     - DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
427     A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
428     - Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
429     is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
430     number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
431     as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
432     - Reselection of the same row following resorting.
433     - A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
434     Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
435     columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
436     Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
437     is unaffected by the extension.
438    
439     TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
440    
441     3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
442     zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
443    
444     4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
445     "GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
446    
447     5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
448     repeated multiple times.
449    
450     6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
451     check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
452     statements.
453    
454     7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
455     Stored Procedures.
456    
457     8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls
458

462     1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
463     setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
464     Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
465    
466     2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
467     See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
468    
469     3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
470     dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
471    
472     4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
473    
474     5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
475     actions.
476    
477     6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
478     thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
479    
480     7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
481    
482     8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
483     for both fields and parameter setting.
484    
485     9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
486     visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
487    
488     10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
489     when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
490    
491     11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
492    
493     12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
494     GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
495    
496     13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
497     of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.

505    
506     1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
507     it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
508    
509     Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
510    
511     2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
512     and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.

515    
516     1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
517     Lazarus versions less than 1.1
518    
519     2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
520     to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
521     1250 to 1254.

531     1. In IBCustomDataset. Changed CurBookmark from string to TBookmark for compiler versions > 2.6.0
532     Necessary because of TBookmark type and TDataSet.Bookmark property change in fpc 2.7.1
533    
534     2. IBX now registers TIntegerField as a "No Icon" component. This may be removed if the fpc DB
535     package is changed to do this (which it should do).
536    
537     IBX Change Log version (1.0-0) Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:43:00 +0100
538    
539     1. Add "if active then active := false" to TIBCustomDataset destructor. (Avoid error on database close).
540    
541     2. Make use of $STATIC conditional in IBSQLMonitor (Needed for FPC 2.6.0 compliance)
542    
543     3. Database Property Editor: Character Set drop down box now uses "OnChange" rather than "OnCloseUp" to react to changes
544    
545     4. Property editors should now correctly resize.
546    
547     5. In IBDatabaseEdit.TestClick, the LoginPrompt is now set to the state of the LoginPrompt Checkbox
548     (restored original functionality)
549    
550     6. Under OSX, if IBX fails to load libfbclient.dylib, it will now try and load the firebird
551     library using the absolute path /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Firebird.
