1 < IBX Change Log  version                                  (2.1-1) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:15:13 +0000
1 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-5 Build 12044) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 12:30:01 +0100
2  
3 < 1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add addition check for null column for generator name.
3 > 1. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are
4 >   case sensitive
5  
6 < 2. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses.
6 <   The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further
7 <   information). Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement
8 <   replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column.
6 > 2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser.
7  
8 < 3. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List.
9 <   When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to
10 <   be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of
11 <   each Identity column after the insert is executed.
8 > 3. New API Calls:
9 >        IColumnMetaData.GetStatement
10 >        IColumnMetaData.GetTransaction
11 >        ISQLData.GetStrLength
12 >        IResults.GetStatement
13 >        IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata)
14 >        IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata)
15  
16 < 4. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time
16 <   a new number is generated.
16 > 4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages
17  
18 < 5. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed.
18 > 5. TFBArray.Create (2nd case): ensure that FFirebirdClientAPI is correctly set.
19  
20 < IBX Change Log  version                            (2.1-0) Fri, 15 Dec 2017 12:20:11 +0000
20 > 6. TIBSQLStatementType: SQLSavePoint added to end of enumeration.
21  
22 < 1. IBCustomDataset: Minor change of PChar to PByte for compatibility with fbintf
23 <   changes.
22 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-4 Build 11515)  Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:19 +0000
23  
24 < 2. IBCustomDataset: Fixed use of incorrect datasize in TIBStringField.SetAsString.
25 <   Bug could result in truncated multi-byte character set values.
24 > 1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
25 >   where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
26  
27 < 3. Changes consequential on moving fbintf character set utility functions from
28 <   IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment.
27 > 2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
28 >   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
29 >   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
30  
31 < 4. Avoid "Object is nil" error when opening a database with DefaultSystemCodePage = true
31 > 3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
32 >   is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
33 >   compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
34  
35 < 5. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition when autocompleting text that occasionally
34 <   results in autocomplete ignoring prefix text.
35 > 4. IColumnMetaData: new method.
36  
37 < 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that cursor is not reset to start of text when
38 <   entering a new name into the text box.
37 >   TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
38 >                        dfDateTime,   {SQL DATETIME}
39 >                        dfTime);
40  
41 < 7. IBCustomDataset: ensure that TIBStringField uses the field size reported by
40 <   Firebird rather than recomputing it.
41 >   function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
42  
43 < 8. Property Editor positioning tidy up: All IBX Property editors should now be
44 <   screen centre. Previously some were "poDesigned" which may be inappropriate
44 <   for multi monitor desktops.
43 >   This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
44 >   when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
45  
46 < 10. TIBTreeView.FindNode: protect against error if zero length path or empty tree node.
46 > 5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
47 >     CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
48  
49 < 11. TIBTransaction: On Force Disconnect do not raise an exception when problem ending
50 <    a transaction and always reset the object.
49 >   If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
50 >   sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
51 >   sensitive name.
52  
53 < 12. TIBQuery tidyup: remove unnecessary call to GetAffectedRows.
53 > 6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
54 >   is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
55 >   .AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
56 >   using .AsString.
57  
53 13. TIBXScript: Allow for override of database filename in Create Database statements.
58  
55 14. IBLocaldb: Support initialisation of the database from an SQL script in addition
56    to a gbak format archive.
59  
60 < 15. IBLocaldb: fix problem that stopped the OnSharedDataDir event from being recognised.
60 > FBINTF Change Log  version                  (1.1-3) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:28:10 +0000
61  
62 < 16. IBLocaldb: Drop database if error creating an empty database.
62 > 1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
63  
64 < 17. TIBTreeView: improve performance when selecting node - avoid refreshing dataset
65 <    unless selected node not in current dataset.
64 > 2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
65 >   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
66  
67 < 18. IBServices: SetDBParams method moved from TCustomIBLocalDBSupport (in IBLocalDB package)
68 <    to TIBCustomService, and IBlocalDB code tidy up.
67 > 3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
68 >   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
69 >   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
70  
71 < 19. IBTreeView: Initialise TIBTreeNode KeyValue to null to avoid unpredictable
72 <    behaviour due to uninitialised variable.
71 > 4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
72 >   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
73  
74 < 20. IBServices: Correct encoding of isc_spb_prp_write_mode in TIBConfigService from
72 <    integer to byte. Ditto isc_spb_prp_reserve_space and isc_spb_prp_access_mode.
74 > 5. New function added to IB.pas
75  
76 < 21. IBSQL: When Database changed ensure that all resources are freed.
76 >   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
77  
78 < 22. IBCustomDataset: When database changed ensure that queries an unprepared.
78 >   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
79 >   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
80 >   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
81 >   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.
82  
83 < 23. SQL Property Editors now use SynEdit with SQL Highlighter. New features include:
79 <    * Line Wrap on SQL Token boundaries (on user command)
80 <    * auto-complete table names in drop down list of table names
81 <    * Double click on tablename or field name adds to SQL text
83 > FBINTF Change Log  version               (1.1-2) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:30:32 +0100
84  
85 < 24. IBDataOutput: print statistics using float (%f) format instead of decimal (%d).
85 > 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
86 >   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
87  
88 < 25. IBTreeView: Call to FindNode: param type change from "array of Variant" to
89 <    TVariantArray. Seems to avoid memory corruption in Windows (probably a
90 <    workaround for a problem in fpc 3.0.4 win64).
88 > 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
89 >    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
90 >    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
91  
92 < 26. IBDatabaseInfo: Code tidy up. Add check for database not assigned or not open.
92 > 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
93 >    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
94 >    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
95 >    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
96  
97 < 27. IBDatabaseInfo: Remove memory leak when accessing database operation counts.
97 > 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
98 >    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
99  
100 < IBX Change Log  version                   (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000
100 > 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
101 >   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
102 >   up to the last fetch.
103  
104 < 1. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to
105 <   include remote system name.
104 > 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
105 >   the problem.
106  
107 < 2. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty
108 <   tables when data included in output.
107 > 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
108 >   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
109  
110 < 3. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance
102 <   and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate
103 <   performance bottlenecks.
110 > 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
111  
112 < 4. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different.
112 > 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
113  
114 < 5. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit
114 > 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
115  
116 < 6. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures
110 <   that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName
111 <   not found error.
116 > 13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.
117  
113 7. IBUpdate: This is a new IBX component similar to TIBUpdateSQL. It is more general
114   purpose and allows the programmer to define any action they want for Update, Insert
115   or Delete. This may be complex SQL (similar to a Trigger), application specific
116   filtering of updates, or use of statements such as Grant or Revoke instead of
117   normal DML. See User Manual for more information.
118  
119 < IBX Change Log  version                  (2.0-1) Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:31:49 +0000
119 > FBINTF Change Log  version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
120  
121 < 1. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events.
121 > 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
122  
123 < 2. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege.
123 > 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
124 >     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
125 >     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
126  
127 < 3. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using
128 <   hexadecimal notation.
127 >   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
128 >   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
129 >   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
130 >   require a database lookup.
131  
132 < 4. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements
129 <   using a simple XML format.
132 > 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
133  
134 < 5. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include
132 <   grants to these objects.
134 > 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
135  
136 < 6. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid
137 <   dependency problems restoring complex databases.
136 > 5. IAttachment: add
137 >      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
138 >      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
139 >      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
140 >      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
141  
142 < 7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of
143 <   embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition
139 <   to non-interactive data sources such as files.
142 >   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
143 >   require a database lookup.
144  
145 < 8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported.
145 > 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
146 >   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
147  
148 < 9. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported:
149 <   SET SQL DIALECT
150 <   SET TERM
151 <   SET AUTODDL
152 <   SET BAIL
148 <   SET ECHO
149 <   SET COUNT
150 <   SET STATS
151 <   SET NAMES <character set>
148 > 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
149 >   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
150 >   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
151 >   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
152 >   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
153  
154 < 10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information.
154 > 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
155  
156 < 11. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments.,
156 <    and domain definitions.
156 > 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
157  
158 < 12. TIBExtract: Triggers now use SQL2003 syntax and database and transaction triggers
159 <    fully supported.
158 > 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
159 >   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
160 >   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
161 >   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
162  
163 < 13. TIBExtract: when a database dump includes data, the generator values are now also set.
163 > 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
164  
165 < 14: IBSQLEdit: Unit LCLPlatformDef added to uses clauses for lazarus 1.7 and later.
165 > 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
166 >    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
167 >    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
168 >    a string with code page CP_NONE.
169  
170 < IBX Change Log  version     (2.0-0) Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:33:44 +0000
170 > 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
171 >    test suite updated.
172  
173 < See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on
174 < upgrading to IBX2.
173 > 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
174 >    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
175  
176 < 1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field
177 <   and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such
178 <   as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField
173 <   code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour.
174 <   The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0.
176 > 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
177 >    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
178 >    default connection port to be specified.
179  
180 < 2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When
177 <   true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is
178 <   always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear
179 <   why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false.
180 > FBINTF Change Log  version                             (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
181  
182 < 3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure
183 <   block.
182 > 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
183 >   Scale is no longer ignored.
184  
185 < 4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not
186 <   exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt
187 <   is made to create the database.
185 > 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
186 >   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
187 >   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
188 >   to Firebird as Text Strings.
189  
190 < 5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database
191 <   has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when
190 <   creating a database after it was found not to exist.
190 > 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
191 >   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
192  
193 < 6.  DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being
194 <    written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message
195 <    loop before rendering the row image.
193 > 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
194 >   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
195 >   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
196 >   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
197  
198 < 7.  DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for
199 <    a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is
200 <    known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first
201 <    displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening
200 <    of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created.
198 > 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
199 >   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
200 >   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
201 >   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
202  
203 < 8.  DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with
204 <    a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel.
203 > 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
204 >   set supported by Firebird with the API.
205  
206 < 9.  TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes.
206 > 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
207 >   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
208  
209 < 10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows.
209 > 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
210  
211 < 11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade.
211 > 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
212 >   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
213 >   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
214 >   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
215  
216 < IBX Change Log  version                                           (1.4-3) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:15 +0100
216 > 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
217  
218 < 1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration
214 <   when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for
215 <   http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622.
218 > 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
219  
220 < 2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server
218 <   since Firebird 1.5.
220 > 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
221  
222 < 3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or
223 <   similar.
222 > 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
223 >    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
224 >    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
225 >    an SQLDA error.
226  
227 < 4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id.
227 > 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
228  
229 < 5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in
230 <   Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16.
229 > 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
230 >    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
231  
232 < 6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8
233 <   regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
230 <   is for compatibility with the LCL.
232 > 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
233 >    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
234  
232 IBX Change Log  version  (1.4-2) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:25:27 +0100
235  
236 < 1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
235 <   read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
236 <   improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
236 > FBINTF Change Log  version             (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
237  
238 < 2. Clearing a  Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
238 > 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi

254  
255 < 1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the

256  
257 < 2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
258 <   for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
257 > 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
258 >   large blobs and the FB3 API.
259  
260 < 3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name

260 > 2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
261 >   event block.
262  
263 < 4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
269 <   column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
270 <   Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
263 > 3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
264  
265 < 5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
266 <   column width.
265 > 4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
266 >   DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
267 >   Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
268 >   though it is not required for character set none.
269  
270 < 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
276 <   and a case insensitive search is requested.
270 > 5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
271  
272 < 7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
279 <   or column ListSource.
272 > 6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
273  
274 < 8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an

274 > 7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
275 >   CREATE DATABASE statement.
276  
277 < 9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
278 <   Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
277 > 8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
278 >   an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
279  
280 < 10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
281 <   Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
280 > 9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
281 >   when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
282  
283 < 11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
283 > 10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
284 >    statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
285 >    to enable stats gathering.
286  
287 < 12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
293 <    string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
294 <    Firebird driver transliteration, if any.  FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
295 <    earlier versions.
287 > 11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
288  
289 < 13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
298 <    will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
299 <    if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
289 > 12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
290  
291 < 14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
302 <    is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
303 <    the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
304 <    platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
305 <    3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
306 <    the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
291 > 13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
292  
293 < 15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set

316
317 1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
318   path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
319   temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
320   prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
321   be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
322
323 2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
324     i.   The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
325     ii.  If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
326          points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
327          "bin" directory.
328     iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
329          is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
330          "bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
331     iv.  The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
332          are searched for the FB Client DLL.
333     v.   The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
334     vi.  Finally the  PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
335
336 3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
337   See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
338
339 4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
340   simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
341   See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
342
343 5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
344   dynamic columns.
345
346 6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
347   between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.
348
349 IBX Change Log  version           (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
350
351 1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
352
353 1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
354
355 2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
356
357 3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
358
359 4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
360   i.e. when it is a calculated field
361
362 5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
363   This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
364   determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
365   is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
366   be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
367   calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
368
369 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
370   Windows.
371
372 7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
373   These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
374   to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
375
376 8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
377   TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
378
379 9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
380   TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
381   1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
382
383   Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
384   from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
385   implies no truncation.
386
387 10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
388
389 11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
390   (avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
391
392 12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
393
394 13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
395    DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
396
397 14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
398
399 15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
400
401 16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
402
403 17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.
404
405 IBX Change Log  version        (1.3-1) Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:30:50 +0100
406
407 1.   OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties
408
409 2.   IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids
410     problem with row size when exception is called.
411
412 3.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit.
413
414 4.   IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if
415     in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo
416
417 5.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text
418     keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed
419
420 6.   Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support
421     console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and
422     cursor management) centralised in the  IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is
423     not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program.
424     See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a
425     console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your
426     application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package.
427
428     IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order
429     to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is
430     included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause.
431     This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why
432     you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The
433     ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs
434     to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the
435     unit search paths set up correctly.
436
437     Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in
438     each project's source file (*.lpr).
439
440     You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode
441     exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This
442     adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently
443     available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file.
444
445         Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode.
446
447 7.   SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines
448
449 8.   IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end
450     of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a
451     column and then inserting text.
452
453 9.   New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor.
454
455 10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer
456    write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the
457    IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write
458    of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could
459        not be automatically recognised.
460
461 11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor
462    already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical.
463
464 12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error
465    when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the
466    table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix.
467
468 13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead
469    of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing
470    users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications.
471
472 IBX Change Log  version  (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
473
474 1.  Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
475    empty Params property.
476
477 2.  IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3.
478    Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply
479    SQL markup on initial open.
480
481 3.  "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling.
482
483 4.  DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a
484    TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a
485    random image cached).
486
487 5.  DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time.
488
489 6.  IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid  
490    even when further rows exist.
491
492 7.  DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should
493    always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion.
494    Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time,
495    each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE
496    in order to remove the property value from the lfm.
497
498
499 IBX Change Log  version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100
500
501 1.  TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
502    call Prepare before setting parameter values.
503
504 2.  Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter.
505
506 3.  Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector.
507
508 4.  Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction
509    has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost"
510    and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called
511    for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called
512    after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events
513    enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be
514    handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs
515    an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes,
516    the transaction should be committed.  Rather than doing this per dataset, this
517    can now be done per transaction.
518
519 5.  TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when
520    the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default,
521    discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now
522    have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes
523    on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the
524    behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges
525    then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed
526    (and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the
527    dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case,
528    no action is taken and any unsaved  changes are discarded. This avoids both
529    unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post
530    raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback.
531
532 6.  String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets.
533    In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character
534    width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character.
535    For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be
536    the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined
537    dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
538    system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766).
539
540 7.  SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string.
541
542 8.  IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the
543    control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms.
544
545 9.  DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even
546    when dataset rows are less than visible rows.
547
548 10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource
549    does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event
550    OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row.
551
552 11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset
553    while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors.
554
555 12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to
556    avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables.
557
558 13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes.
559
560 14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced
561    to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by
562    a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset
563    always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate
564    to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the
565    "MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called
566    as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post
567    into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is
568    achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be
569    raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal
570    a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml)
571
572 15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon
573    separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right
574    order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux,
575    the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be
576    overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function.
577
578    Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:"
579    then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will
580    require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username
581    and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant
582    access.
583
584 IBX Change Log  version  (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
585
586 1.  A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
587    rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
588    that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
589    corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
590    replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
591
592 2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.
593   When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change
594   takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with
595   the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor.
596
597 3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery
598   and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to
599   Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of
600   making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly
601   committed.
602
603 4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still

610 IBX Change Log  version   (1.2-0) Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:34:04 +0000
611
612 1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
613   This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
614   "Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
615   complexity.
616
617 2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
618   three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
619   These are:
620
621   - TIBLookupComboEditBox
622   - TIBDynamicGrid
623   - TIBTreeview
624
625   TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
626   of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
627   to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
628   typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a
629   newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
630   list items.
631
632   TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
633   - automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
634   - automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
635     column footer, on a per column basis.
636   - DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
637     A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
638   - Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
639     is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
640     number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
641     as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
642   - Reselection of the same row following resorting.
643   - A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
644     Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
645     columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
646     Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
647     is unaffected by the extension.
648
649   TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
650
651 3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
652   zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
653
654 4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
655   "GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
656
657 5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
658   repeated multiple times.
659
660 6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
661   check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
662   statements.
663
664 7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
665   Stored Procedures.
666
667 8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls
668

670 IBX Change Log  version  (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100
671
672 1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
673   setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
674   Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
675
676 2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
677   See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
678
679 3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
680   dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
681
682 4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
683
684 5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
685   actions.
686
687 6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
688   thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
689
690 7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
691
692 8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
693   for both fields and parameter setting.
694
695 9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
696   visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
697
698 10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
699    when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
700
701 11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
702
703 12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
704    GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
705
706 13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
707    of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.
708

710 IBX Change Log  version                 (1.0-5) Sat, 28 Dec 2013 19:22:23 +0000
711
712 1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to >= 2.7.0 to match revised availability of change.
713
714 IBX Change Log  version          (1.0-4) Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:56:13 +0000
715
716 1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
717   it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
718
719   Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
720
721 2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
722   and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.
723
724 IBX Change Log  version         (1.0-3) Thu, 22 Nov 2012 22:53:39 +0000
725
726 1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
727   Lazarus versions less than 1.1
728
729 2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
730   to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
731   1250 to 1254.
732
733
734 IBX Change Log  version     (1.0-2) Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:10:30 +0100
735
736 1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to > 2.6.2 to match expected availability of change.
737
738
739 IBX Change Log  version    (1.0-1) Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:00:04 +0100
740
741 1. In IBCustomDataset. Changed CurBookmark from string to TBookmark for compiler versions > 2.6.0
742   Necessary because of TBookmark type and TDataSet.Bookmark property change in fpc 2.7.1
743
744 2. IBX now registers TIntegerField as a "No Icon" component. This may be removed if the fpc DB
745   package is changed to do this (which it should do).
746
747 IBX Change Log  version (1.0-0)  Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:43:00 +0100
748
749 1. Add "if active then active := false" to TIBCustomDataset destructor. (Avoid error on database close).
750
751 2. Make use of $STATIC conditional in IBSQLMonitor (Needed for FPC 2.6.0 compliance)
752
753 3. Database Property Editor: Character Set drop down box now uses "OnChange" rather than "OnCloseUp" to react to changes
754
755 4. Property editors should now correctly resize.
756
757 5. In IBDatabaseEdit.TestClick, the LoginPrompt is now set to the state of the LoginPrompt Checkbox
758   (restored original functionality)
759
760 6. Under OSX, if IBX fails to load libfbclient.dylib, it will now try and load the firebird
761   library using the absolute path /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Firebird.
