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 + IBX Change Log  version                   (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000
21 +
22 + 1. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to
23 +   include remote system name.
24 +
25 + 2. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty
26 +   tables when data included in output.
27 +
28 + 3. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance
29 +   and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate
30 +   performance bottlenecks.
31 +
32 + 4. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different.
33 +
34 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit
35 +
36 + 6. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures
37 +   that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName
38 +   not found error.
39 +
40 + IBX Change Log  version                  (2.0-1) Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:31:49 +0000
41 +
42 + 1. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events.
43 +
44 + 2. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege.
45 +
46 + 3. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using
47 +   hexadecimal notation.
48 +
49 + 4. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements
50 +   using a simple XML format.
51 +
52 + 5. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include
53 +   grants to these objects.
54 +
55 + 6. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid
56 +   dependency problems restoring complex databases.
57 +
58 + 7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of
59 +   embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition
60 +   to non-interactive data sources such as files.
61 +
62 + 8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported.
63 +
64 + 9. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported:
65 +   SET SQL DIALECT
66 +   SET TERM
67 +   SET AUTODDL
68 +   SET BAIL
69 +   SET ECHO
70 +   SET COUNT
71 +   SET STATS
72 +   SET NAMES <character set>
73 +
74 + 10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information.
75 +
76 + 11. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments.,
77 +    and domain definitions.
78 +
79 + 12. TIBExtract: Triggers now use SQL2003 syntax and database and transaction triggers
80 +    fully supported.
81 +
82 + 13. TIBExtract: when a database dump includes data, the generator values are now also set.
83 +
84 + 14: IBSQLEdit: Unit LCLPlatformDef added to uses clauses for lazarus 1.7 and later.
85 +
86 + IBX Change Log  version     (2.0-0) Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:33:44 +0000
87 +
88 + See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on
89 + upgrading to IBX2.
90 +
91 + 1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field
92 +   and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such
93 +   as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField
94 +   code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour.
95 +   The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0.
96 +
97 + 2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When
98 +   true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is
99 +   always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear
100 +   why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false.
101 +
102 + 3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure
103 +   block.
104 +
105 + 4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not
106 +   exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt
107 +   is made to create the database.
108 +
109 + 5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database
110 +   has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when
111 +   creating a database after it was found not to exist.
112 +
113 + 6.  DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being
114 +    written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message
115 +    loop before rendering the row image.
116 +
117 + 7.  DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for
118 +    a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is
119 +    known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first
120 +    displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening
121 +    of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created.
122 +
123 + 8.  DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with
124 +    a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel.
125 +
126 + 9.  TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes.
127 +
128 + 10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows.
129 +
130 + 11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade.
131 +
132 + IBX Change Log  version                                           (1.4-3) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:15 +0100
133 +
134 + 1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration
135 +   when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for
136 +   http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622.
137 +
138 + 2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server
139 +   since Firebird 1.5.
140 +
141 + 3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or
142 +   similar.
143 +
144 + 4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id.
145 +
146 + 5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in
147 +   Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16.
148 +
149 + 6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8
150 +   regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
151 +   is for compatibility with the LCL.
152 +
153 + IBX Change Log  version  (1.4-2) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:25:27 +0100
154 +
155 + 1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
156 +   read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
157 +   improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
158 +
159 + 2. Clearing a  Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
160 +
161 + 3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
162 +   is now used.
163 +
164 + 4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
165 +   determined.
166 +
167 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
168 +
169 + 6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post
170 +   lazarus 1.6.0
171 +
172 + 7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages"
173 +   compilation error.
174 +
175 + IBX Change Log  version                                 (1.4-1) Tue, 17 May 2016 09:14:51 +0100
176 +
177 + 1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
178 +  character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
179 +  Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
180 +  set as the connection.
181 +
182 + 2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
183 +   for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
184 +
185 + 3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
186 +   to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
187 +   entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
188 +
189 + 4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
190 +   column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
191 +   Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
192 +
193 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
194 +   column width.
195 +
196 + 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
197 +   and a case insensitive search is requested.
198 +
199 + 7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
200 +   or column ListSource.
201 +
202 + 8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
203 +   unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
204 +
205 + 9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
206 +   Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
207 +
208 + 10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
209 +   Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
210 +
211 + 11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
212 +
213 + 12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
214 +    string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
215 +    Firebird driver transliteration, if any.  FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
216 +    earlier versions.
217 +
218 + 13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
219 +    will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
220 +    if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
221 +
222 + 14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
223 +    is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
224 +    the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
225 +    platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
226 +    3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
227 +    the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
228 +
229 + 15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
230 +    name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
231 +    Database is connected.
232 +
233 + 16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
234 +    id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.
235 +
