1	+	IBX Change Log  version                                                    (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
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 supcpressed 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. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
21	+	using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to this feature.

28	+
29	+	1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
30	+	This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
31	+	"Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
32	+	complexity.
33	+
34	+	2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
35	+	three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
36	+	These are:
37	+
38	+	- TIBLookupComboEditBox
39	+	- TIBDynamicGrid
40	+	- TIBTreeview
41	+
42	+	TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
43	+	of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
44	+	to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
45	+	typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a
46	+	newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
47	+	list items.
48	+
49	+	TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
50	+	- automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
51	+	- automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
52	+	column footer, on a per column basis.
53	+	- DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
54	+	A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
55	+	- Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
56	+	is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
57	+	number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
58	+	as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
59	+	- Reselection of the same row following resorting.
60	+	- A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
61	+	Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
62	+	columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
63	+	Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
64	+	is unaffected by the extension.
65	+
66	+	TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
67	+
68	+	3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
69	+	zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
70	+
71	+	4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
72	+	"GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
73	+
74	+	5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
75	+	repeated multiple times.
76	+
77	+	6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
78	+	check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
79	+	statements.
80	+
81	+	7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
82	+	Stored Procedures.
83	+
84	+	8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls
85	+
86	+
87	+	IBX Change Log  version                      (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100
88	+
89	+	1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
90	+	setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
91	+	Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
92	+
93	+	2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
94	+	See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
95	+
96	+	3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
97	+	dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
98	+
99	+	4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
100	+
101	+	5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
102	+	actions.
103	+
104	+	6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
105	+	thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
106	+
107	+	7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
108	+
109	+	8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
110	+	for both fields and parameter setting.
111	+
112	+	9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
113	+	visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
114	+
115	+	10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
116	+	when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
117	+
118	+	11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
119	+
120	+	12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
121	+	GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
122	+
123	+	13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
124	+	of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.
125	+
126	+
127	+	IBX Change Log  version                 (1.0-5) Sat, 28 Dec 2013 19:22:23 +0000
128	+
129	+	1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to >= 2.7.0 to match revised availability of change.
130	+
131	+	IBX Change Log  version          (1.0-4) Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:56:13 +0000
132	+
133	+	1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
134	+	it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
135	+
136	+	Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
137	+
138	+	2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
139	+	and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.
140	+
