2 >
3 > 1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
4 >
5 > 2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
6 >
7 > 3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
8 >
9 > 4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
10 >   i.e. when it is a calculated field
11 >
12 > 5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
13 >   This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
14 >   determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
15 >   is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
16 >   be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
17 >   calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
18 >
19 > 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
20 >   Windows.
21 >
22 > 7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
23 >   These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
24 >   to be determined at runtime.
25 >
26 > 8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
27 >   TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two.
28 >
29 > 9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
30 >   TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
31 >   1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField).
32 >
33 >   Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
34 >   from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
35 >   implies no truncation.
36 >
37 > 10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
38 >
39 > 11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
40 >   (avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
41 >
42 > 12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
43 >
44 > 13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
45 >    DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
46 >
47 > 14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
48 >
49 > 15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
50 >
51 > 16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
52 >
53 > 17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.
54 >
55 > IBX Change Log  version        (1.3-1) Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:30:50 +0100
56 >
57 > 1.   OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties
58 >
59 > 2.   IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids
60 >     problem with row size when exception is called.
61 >
62 > 3.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit.
63 >
64 > 4.   IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if
65 >     in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo
66 >
67 > 5.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text
68 >     keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed
69 >
70 > 6.   Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support
71 >     console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and
72 >     cursor management) centralised in the  IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is
73 >     not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program.
74 >     See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a
75 >     console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your
76 >     application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package.
77 >
78 >     IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order
79 >     to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is
80 >     included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause.
81 >     This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why
82 >     you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The
83 >     ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs
84 >     to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the
85 >     unit search paths set up correctly.
86 >
87 >     Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in
88 >     each project's source file (*.lpr).
89 >
90 >     You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode
91 >     exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This
92 >     adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently
93 >     available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file.
94 >
95 >         Thanks to Julio JimĂ©nez for suggesting support of console mode.
96 >
97 > 7.   SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines
98 >
99 > 8.   IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end
100 >     of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a
101 >     column and then inserting text.
102 >
103 > 9.   New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor.
104 >
105 > 10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer
106 >    write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the
107 >    IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write
108 >    of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could
109 >        not be automatically recognised.
110 >
111 > 11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor
112 >    already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical.
113 >
114 > 12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error
115 >    when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the
116 >    table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix.
117 >
118 > 13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead
119 >    of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing
120 >    users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications.
121 >
122 > IBX Change Log  version  (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
123 >
124 > 1.  Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
125 >    empty Params property.
126 >
127 > 2.  IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3.
128 >    Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply
129 >    SQL markup on initial open.
130 >
131 > 3.  "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling.
132 >
133 > 4.  DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a
134 >    TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a
135 >    random image cached).
136 >
137 > 5.  DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time.
138 >
139 > 6.  IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid  
140 >    even when further rows exist.
141 >
142 > 7.  DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should
143 >    always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion.
144 >    Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time,
145 >    each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE
146 >    in order to remove the property value from the lfm.

151   1.  TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
152      call Prepare before setting parameter values.

236   1.  A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
237      rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid

253   4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
254     using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature.

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