1 < IBX Change Log  version                                                    (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
1 > IBX Change Log  version                   (2.0.3) tba, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000
2 >
3 > 1. IBCustomDataset: Minor change of PChar to PByte for compatibility with fbintf
4 >   changes.
5 >
6 > 2. IBCustomDataset: Fixed use of incorrect datasize in TIBStringField.SetAsString.
7 >   Bug could result in truncated multi-byte character set values.
8 >
9 > 3. Changes consequential on moving fbintf character set utility functions from
10 >   IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment.
11 >
12 > 4. Avoid "Object is nil" error when opening a database with DefaultSystemCodePage = true
13 >
14 > 5. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition when autocompleting text that occasionally
15 >   results in autocomplete ignoring prefix text.
16 >
17 > 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that cursor is not reset to start of text when
18 >   entering a new name into the text box.
19 >
20 > 7. IBCustomDataset: ensure that TIBStringField uses the field size reported by
21 >   Firebird rather than recomputing it.
22 >
23 > 8. Property Editor positioning tidy up: All IBX Property editors should now be
24 >   screen centre. Previously some were "poDesigned" which may be inappropriate
25 >   for multi monitor desktops.
26 >
27 > IBX Change Log  version                   (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000
28 >
29 > 1. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to
30 >   include remote system name.
31 >
32 > 2. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty
33 >   tables when data included in output.
34 >
35 > 3. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance
36 >   and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate
37 >   performance bottlenecks.
38 >
39 > 4. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different.
40 >
41 > 5. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit
42 >
43 > 6. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures
44 >   that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName
45 >   not found error.
46 >
47 > IBX Change Log  version                  (2.0-1) Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:31:49 +0000
48 >
49 > 1. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events.
50 >
51 > 2. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege.
52 >
53 > 3. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using
54 >   hexadecimal notation.
55 >
56 > 4. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements
57 >   using a simple XML format.
58 >
59 > 5. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include
60 >   grants to these objects.
61 >
62 > 6. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid
63 >   dependency problems restoring complex databases.
64 >
65 > 7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of
66 >   embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition
67 >   to non-interactive data sources such as files.
68 >
69 > 8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported.
70 >
71 > 9. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported:

77 >   SET COUNT
78 >   SET STATS
79 >   SET NAMES <character set>
80 >
81 > 10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information.
82 >
83 > 11. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments.,
84 >    and domain definitions.
85 >
86 > 12. TIBExtract: Triggers now use SQL2003 syntax and database and transaction triggers
87 >    fully supported.
88 >
89 > 13. TIBExtract: when a database dump includes data, the generator values are now also set.
90 >
91 > 14: IBSQLEdit: Unit LCLPlatformDef added to uses clauses for lazarus 1.7 and later.
92 >
93 > IBX Change Log  version     (2.0-0) Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:33:44 +0000
94 >
95 > See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on
96 > upgrading to IBX2.
97 >
98 > 1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field
99 >   and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such
100 >   as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField
101 >   code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour.
102 >   The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0.
103 >
104 > 2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When
105 >   true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is
106 >   always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear
107 >   why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false.
108 >
109 > 3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure
110 >   block.
111 >
112 > 4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not
113 >   exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt
114 >   is made to create the database.
115 >
116 > 5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database
117 >   has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when
118 >   creating a database after it was found not to exist.
119 >
120 > 6.  DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being
121 >    written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message
122 >    loop before rendering the row image.
123 >
124 > 7.  DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for
125 >    a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is
126 >    known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first
127 >    displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening
128 >    of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created.
129 >
130 > 8.  DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with
131 >    a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel.
132 >
133 > 9.  TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes.
134 >
135 > 10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows.
136 >
137 > 11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade.
138 >
139 > IBX Change Log  version                                           (1.4-3) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:15 +0100
140 >
141 > 1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration
142 >   when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for
143 >   http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622.
144 >
145 > 2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server
146 >   since Firebird 1.5.
147 >
148 > 3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or
149 >   similar.
150 >
151 > 4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id.
152 >
153 > 5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in
154 >   Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16.
155 >
156 > 6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8
157 >   regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
158 >   is for compatibility with the LCL.
159 >
160 > IBX Change Log  version  (1.4-2) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:25:27 +0100
161 >
162 > 1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
163 >   read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
164 >   improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
165 >
166 > 2. Clearing a  Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
167 >
168 > 3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
169 >   is now used.
170 >
171 > 4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
172 >   determined.
173 >
174 > 5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
175 >
176 > 6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post
177 >   lazarus 1.6.0
178 >
179 > 7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages"
180 >   compilation error.
181 >
182 > IBX Change Log  version                                 (1.4-1) Tue, 17 May 2016 09:14:51 +0100
183 >
184 > 1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
185 >  character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
186 >  Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
187 >  set as the connection.
188 >
189 > 2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
190 >   for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
191 >
192 > 3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
193 >   to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
194 >   entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
195 >
196 > 4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
197 >   column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
198 >   Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
199 >
200 > 5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
201 >   column width.
202 >
203 > 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
204 >   and a case insensitive search is requested.
205 >
206 > 7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
207 >   or column ListSource.
208 >
209 > 8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
210 >   unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
211 >
212 > 9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
213 >   Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
214 >
215 > 10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
216 >   Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
217 >
218 > 11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
219 >
220 > 12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
221 >    string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
222 >    Firebird driver transliteration, if any.  FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
223 >    earlier versions.
224 >
225 > 13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
226 >    will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
227 >    if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
228 >
229 > 14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
230 >    is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
231 >    the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
232 >    platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
233 >    3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
234 >    the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
235 >
236 > 15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
237 >    name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
238 >    Database is connected.
239 >
240 > 16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
241 >    id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.
242 >
243 > IBX Change Log  version                          (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000
244 >
245 > 1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
246 >   path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
247 >   temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
248 >   prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
249 >   be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
250 >
251 > 2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
252 >     i.   The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
253 >     ii.  If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
254 >          points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
255 >          "bin" directory.
256 >     iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
257 >          is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
258 >          "bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
259 >     iv.  The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
260 >          are searched for the FB Client DLL.
261 >     v.   The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
262 >     vi.  Finally the  PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
263 >
264 > 3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
265 >   See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
266 >
267 > 4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
268 >   simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
269 >   See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
270 >
271 > 5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
272 >   dynamic columns.
273 >
274 > 6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
275 >   between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.
276 >
277 > IBX Change Log  version           (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
278 >
279 > 1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
280 >
281 > 1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
282 >
283 > 2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
284 >
285 > 3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
286 >
287 > 4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
288 >   i.e. when it is a calculated field
289 >
290 > 5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
291 >   This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
292 >   determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
293 >   is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
294 >   be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
295 >   calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
296 >
297 > 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
298 >   Windows.
299 >
300 > 7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
301 >   These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
302 >   to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
303 >
304 > 8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
305 >   TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
306 >
307 > 9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
308 >   TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
309 >   1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
310 >
311 >   Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
312 >   from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
313 >   implies no truncation.
314 >
315 > 10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
316 >
317 > 11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
318 >   (avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
319 >
320 > 12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
321 >
322 > 13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
323 >    DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
324 >
325 > 14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
326 >
327 > 15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
328 >
329 > 16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
330 >
331 > 17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.
332 >
333 > IBX Change Log  version        (1.3-1) Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:30:50 +0100
334 >
335 > 1.   OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties
336 >
337 > 2.   IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids
338 >     problem with row size when exception is called.
339 >
340 > 3.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit.
341 >
342 > 4.   IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if
343 >     in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo
344 >
345 > 5.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text
346 >     keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed
347 >
348 > 6.   Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support
349 >     console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and
350 >     cursor management) centralised in the  IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is
351 >     not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program.
352 >     See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a
353 >     console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your
354 >     application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package.
355 >
356 >     IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order
357 >     to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is
358 >     included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause.
359 >     This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why
360 >     you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The
361 >     ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs
362 >     to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the
363 >     unit search paths set up correctly.
364 >
365 >     Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in
366 >     each project's source file (*.lpr).
367 >
368 >     You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode
369 >     exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This
370 >     adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently
371 >     available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file.
372 >
373 >         Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode.
374 >
375 > 7.   SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines
376 >
377 > 8.   IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end
378 >     of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a
379 >     column and then inserting text.
380 >
381 > 9.   New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor.
382 >
383 > 10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer
384 >    write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the
385 >    IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write
386 >    of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could
387 >        not be automatically recognised.
388 >
389 > 11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor
390 >    already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical.
391 >
392 > 12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error
393 >    when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the
394 >    table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix.
395 >
396 > 13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead
397 >    of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing
398 >    users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications.
399 >
400 > IBX Change Log  version  (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
401 >
402 > 1.  Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
403 >    empty Params property.
404 >
405 > 2.  IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3.
406 >    Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply
407 >    SQL markup on initial open.
408 >
409 > 3.  "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling.
410 >
411 > 4.  DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a
412 >    TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a
413 >    random image cached).
414 >
415 > 5.  DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time.
416 >
417 > 6.  IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid  
418 >    even when further rows exist.

429 > 1.  TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
430 >    call Prepare before setting parameter values.
431 >
432 > 2.  Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter.
433 >
434 > 3.  Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector.
435 >
436 > 4.  Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction
437 >    has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost"
438 >    and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called
439 >    for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called
440 >    after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events
441 >    enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be
442 >    handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs
443 >    an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes,
444 >    the transaction should be committed.  Rather than doing this per dataset, this
445 >    can now be done per transaction.
446 >
447 > 5.  TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when
448 >    the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default,
449 >    discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now
450 >    have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes
451 >    on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the
452 >    behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges
453 >    then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed
454 >    (and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the
455 >    dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case,
456 >    no action is taken and any unsaved  changes are discarded. This avoids both
457 >    unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post
458 >    raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback.
459 >
460 > 6.  String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets.
461 >    In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character
462 >    width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character.
463 >    For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be
464 >    the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined
465 >    dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
466 >    system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766).
467 >
468 > 7.  SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string.
469 >
470 > 8.  IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the
471 >    control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms.
472 >
473 > 9.  DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even
474 >    when dataset rows are less than visible rows.
475 >
476 > 10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource
477 >    does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event
478 >    OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row.
479 >
480 > 11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset
481 >    while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors.
482 >
483 > 12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to
484 >    avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables.
485 >
486 > 13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes.
487 >
488 > 14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced
489 >    to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by
490 >    a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset
491 >    always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate
492 >    to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the
493 >    "MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called
494 >    as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post
495 >    into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is
496 >    achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be
497 >    raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal
498 >    a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml)
499 >
500 > 15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon
501 >    separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right
502 >    order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux,
503 >    the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be
504 >    overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function.
505 >
506 >    Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:"
507 >    then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will
508 >    require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username
509 >    and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant
510 >    access.

514   1.  A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
515      rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
516      that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
517 <    correspondes to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
517 >    corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
518      replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
519  
520   2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.

540   1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
541     This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
