1 + IBX Change Log  version                           (2.1-0) Fri, 15 Dec 2017 12:20:11 +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 + 10. TIBTreeView.FindNode: protect against error if zero length path or empty tree node.
28 +
29 + 11. TIBTransaction: On Force Disconnect do not raise an exception when problem ending
30 +    a transaction and always reset the object.
31 +
32 + 12. TIBQuery tidyup: remove unnecessary call to GetAffectedRows.
33 +
34 + 13. TIBXScript: Allow for override of database filename in Create Database statements.
35 +
36 + 14. IBLocaldb: Support initialisation of the database from an SQL script in addition
37 +    to a gbak format archive.
38 +
39 + 15. IBLocaldb: fix problem that stopped the OnSharedDataDir event from being recognised.
40 +
41 + 16. IBLocaldb: Drop database if error creating an empty database.
42 +
43 + 17. TIBTreeView: improve performance when selecting node - avoid refreshing dataset
44 +    unless selected node not in current dataset.
45 +
46 + 18. IBServices: SetDBParams method moved from TCustomIBLocalDBSupport (in IBLocalDB package)
47 +    to TIBCustomService, and IBlocalDB code tidy up.
48 +
49 + 19. IBTreeView: Initialise TIBTreeNode KeyValue to null to avoid unpredictable
50 +    behaviour due to uninitialised variable.
51 +
52 + 20. IBServices: Correct encoding of isc_spb_prp_write_mode in TIBConfigService from
53 +    integer to byte. Ditto isc_spb_prp_reserve_space and isc_spb_prp_access_mode.
54 +
55 + 21. IBSQL: When Database changed ensure that all resources are freed.
56 +
57 + 22. IBCustomDataset: When database changed ensure that queries an unprepared.
58 +
59 + 23. SQL Property Editors now use SynEdit with SQL Highlighter.
60 +
61 + 24. IBDataOutput: print statistics using float (%f) format instead of decimal (%d).
62 +
63 + 25. IBTreeView: Call to FindNode: param type change from "array of Variant" to
64 +    TVariantArray. Seems to avoid memory corruption in Windows (probably a
65 +    workaround for a problem in fpc 3.0.4 win64).
66 +
67 + 26. IBDatabaseInfo: Code tidy up. Add check for database not assigned or not open.
68 +
69 + IBX Change Log  version                   (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000
70 +
71 + 1. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to
72 +   include remote system name.
73 +
74 + 2. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty
75 +   tables when data included in output.
76 +
77 + 3. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance
78 +   and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate
79 +   performance bottlenecks.
80 +
81 + 4. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different.
82 +
83 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit
84 +
85 + 6. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures
86 +   that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName
87 +   not found error.
88 +
89 + 7. IBUpdate: This is a new IBX component similar to TIBUpdateSQL. It is more general
90 +   purpose and allows the programmer to define any action they want for Update, Insert
91 +   or Delete. This may be complex SQL (similar to a Trigger), application specific
92 +   filtering of updates, or use of statements such as Grant or Revoke instead of
93 +   normal DML. See User Manual for more information.
94 +
95 + IBX Change Log  version                  (2.0-1) Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:31:49 +0000
96 +
97 + 1. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events.
98 +
99 + 2. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege.
100 +
101 + 3. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using
102 +   hexadecimal notation.
103 +
104 + 4. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements
105 +   using a simple XML format.
106 +
107 + 5. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include
108 +   grants to these objects.
109 +
110 + 6. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid
111 +   dependency problems restoring complex databases.
112 +
113 + 7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of
114 +   embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition
115 +   to non-interactive data sources such as files.
116 +
117 + 8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported.
118 +
119 + 9. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported:
120 +   SET SQL DIALECT
121 +   SET TERM
122 +   SET AUTODDL
123 +   SET BAIL
124 +   SET ECHO
125 +   SET COUNT
126 +   SET STATS
127 +   SET NAMES <character set>
128 +
129 + 10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information.
130 +
131 + 11. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments.,
132 +    and domain definitions.
133 +
134 + 12. TIBExtract: Triggers now use SQL2003 syntax and database and transaction triggers
135 +    fully supported.
136 +
137 + 13. TIBExtract: when a database dump includes data, the generator values are now also set.
138 +
139 + 14: IBSQLEdit: Unit LCLPlatformDef added to uses clauses for lazarus 1.7 and later.
140 +
141 + IBX Change Log  version     (2.0-0) Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:33:44 +0000
142 +
143 + See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on
144 + upgrading to IBX2.
145 +
146 + 1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field
147 +   and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such
148 +   as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField
149 +   code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour.
150 +   The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0.
151 +
152 + 2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When
153 +   true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is
154 +   always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear
155 +   why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false.
156 +
157 + 3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure
158 +   block.
159 +
160 + 4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not
161 +   exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt
162 +   is made to create the database.
163 +
164 + 5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database
165 +   has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when
166 +   creating a database after it was found not to exist.
167 +
168 + 6.  DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being
169 +    written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message
170 +    loop before rendering the row image.
171 +
172 + 7.  DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for
173 +    a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is
174 +    known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first
175 +    displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening
176 +    of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created.
177 +
178 + 8.  DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with
179 +    a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel.
180 +
181 + 9.  TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes.
182 +
183 + 10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows.
184 +
185 + 11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade.
186 +
187 + IBX Change Log  version                                           (1.4-3) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:15 +0100
188 +
189 + 1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration
190 +   when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for
191 +   http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622.
192 +
193 + 2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server
194 +   since Firebird 1.5.
195 +
196 + 3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or
197 +   similar.
198 +
199 + 4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id.
200 +
201 + 5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in
202 +   Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16.
203 +
204 + 6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8
205 +   regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
206 +   is for compatibility with the LCL.
207 +
208 + IBX Change Log  version  (1.4-2) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:25:27 +0100
209 +
210 + 1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
211 +   read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
212 +   improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
213 +
214 + 2. Clearing a  Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
215 +
216 + 3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
217 +   is now used.
218 +
219 + 4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
220 +   determined.
221 +
222 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
223 +
224 + 6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post
225 +   lazarus 1.6.0
226 +
227 + 7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages"
228 +   compilation error.
229 +
230 + IBX Change Log  version                                 (1.4-1) Tue, 17 May 2016 09:14:51 +0100
231 +
232 + 1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
233 +  character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
234 +  Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
235 +  set as the connection.
236 +
237 + 2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
238 +   for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
239 +
240 + 3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
241 +   to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
242 +   entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
243 +
244 + 4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
245 +   column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
246 +   Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
247 +
248 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
249 +   column width.
250 +
251 + 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
252 +   and a case insensitive search is requested.
253 +
254 + 7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
255 +   or column ListSource.
256 +
257 + 8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
258 +   unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
259 +
260 + 9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
261 +   Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
262 +
263 + 10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
264 +   Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
265 +
266 + 11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
267 +
268 + 12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
269 +    string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
270 +    Firebird driver transliteration, if any.  FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
271 +    earlier versions.
272 +
273 + 13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
274 +    will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
275 +    if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
276 +
277 + 14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
278 +    is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
279 +    the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
280 +    platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
281 +    3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
282 +    the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
283 +
284 + 15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
285 +    name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
286 +    Database is connected.
287 +
288 + 16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
289 +    id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.
290 +
291 + IBX Change Log  version                          (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000
292 +
293 + 1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
294 +   path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
295 +   temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
296 +   prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
297 +   be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
298 +
299 + 2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
300 +     i.   The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
301 +     ii.  If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
302 +          points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
303 +          "bin" directory.
304 +     iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
305 +          is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
306 +          "bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
307 +     iv.  The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
308 +          are searched for the FB Client DLL.
309 +     v.   The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
310 +     vi.  Finally the  PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
311 +
312 + 3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
313 +   See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
314 +
315 + 4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
316 +   simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
317 +   See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
318 +
319 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
320 +   dynamic columns.
321 +
322 + 6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
323 +   between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.
324 +
325   IBX Change Log  version           (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
326  
327 + 1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
328 +
329   1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
330  
331   2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
# Line 21 | Line 347 | IBX Change Log  version           (1.3-2
347  
348   7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
349     These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
350 <   to be determined at runtime.
350 >   to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
351  
352   8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
353 <   TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two.
353 >   TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
354  
355   9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
356     TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
357 <   1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField).
357 >   1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
358  
359     Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
360     from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
