2 >
3 > 1.  A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
4 >    rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
5 >    that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
6 >    correspondes to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
7 >    replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
8 >
9 > 2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.
10 >   When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is surpressed and no cursor change
11 >   takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with
12 >   the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor.
13 >
14 > 3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery
15 >   and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to
16 >   Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of
17 >   making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly
18 >   committed.
19 >
20 > 4. Experiental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
21 >   using the legacy Firebird API.

24 >
25 > 1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
26 >   This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
27 >   "Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
28 >   complexity.
29 >
30 > 2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
31 >   three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
32 >   These are:
33 >
34 >   - TIBLookupComboEditBox
35 >   - TIBDynamicGrid
36 >   - TIBTreeview
37 >
38 >   TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
39 >   of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
40 >   to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
41 >   typed text (either case sensitive or case insenstive). Autoinsert allows a
42 >   newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
43 >   list items.
44 >
45 >   TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
46 >   - automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
47 >   - automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
48 >     column footer, on a per column basis.
49 >   - DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
50 >     A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
51 >   - Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
52 >     is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
53 >     number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
54 >     as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
55 >   - Reselection of the same row following resorting.
56 >   - A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
57 >     Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
58 >     columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
59 >     Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
60 >     is unaffected by the extension.
61 >
62 >   TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
63 >
64 > 3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
65 >   zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
66 >
67 > 4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
68 >   "GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
69 >
70 > 5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
71 >   repeated multiple times.
72 >
73 > 6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
74 >   check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
75 >   statements.
76 >
77 > 7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
78 >   Stored Procedures.
79 >
80 > 8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls
81 >
82 >
83 > IBX Change Log  version                      (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100
84 >
85 > 1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
86 >   setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
87 >   Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
88 >
89 > 2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
90 >   See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
91 >
92 > 3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
93 >   dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
94 >
95 > 4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
96 >
97 > 5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
98 >   actions.
99 >
100 > 6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
101 >   thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
102 >
103 > 7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
104 >
105 > 8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
106 >   for both fields and parameter setting.
107 >
108 > 9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
109 >   visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
110 >
111 > 10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
112 >    when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
113 >
114 > 11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
115 >
116 > 12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
117 >    GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
118 >
119 > 13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
120 >    of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.
121 >

123 > IBX Change Log  version                 (1.0-5) Sat, 28 Dec 2013 19:22:23 +0000
124 >
125 > 1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to >= 2.7.0 to match revised availability of change.

127 > IBX Change Log  version          (1.0-4) Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:56:13 +0000
128 >
129 > 1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
130 >   it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
131 >
132 >   Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
133 >
134 > 2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
135 >   and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.
136 >
137 > IBX Change Log  version         (1.0-3) Thu, 22 Nov 2012 22:53:39 +0000
138 >
139 > 1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
140 >   Lazarus versions less than 1.1
141 >
142 > 2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
143 >   to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
144 >   1250 to 1254.
145 >
146 >

153  
154   1. In IBCustomDataset. Changed CurBookmark from string to TBookmark for compiler versions > 2.6.0
155     Necessary because of TBookmark type and TDataSet.Bookmark property change in fpc 2.7.1
