2 >
3 > 1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
4 >   This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
5 >   "Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
6 >   complexity.
7 >
8 > 2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
9 >   three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
10 >   These are:
11 >
12 >   - TIBLookupComboEditBox
13 >   - TIBDynamicGrid
14 >   - TIBTreeview
15 >
16 >   TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
17 >   of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
18 >   to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
19 >   typed text (either case sensitive or case insenstive). Autoinsert allows a
20 >   newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
21 >   list items.
22 >
23 >   TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
24 >   - automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
25 >   - automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
26 >     column footer, on a per column basis.
27 >   - DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
28 >     A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
29 >   - Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
30 >     is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
31 >     number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
32 >     as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
33 >   - Reselection of the same row following resorting.
34 >   - A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
35 >     Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
36 >     columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
37 >     Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
38 >     is unaffected by the extension.
39 >
40 >   TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
41 >
42 > 3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
43 >   zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
44 >
45 > 4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
46 >   "GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
47 >
48 > 5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
49 >   repeated multiple times.
50 >
51 > 6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
52 >   check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
53 >   statements.
54 >
55 > 7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
56 >   Stored Procedures.
57 >
58 > 8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls
59 >

61 > IBX Change Log  version                      (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100
62 >
63 > 1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
64 >   setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
65 >   Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
66 >
67 > 2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
68 >   See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
69 >
70 > 3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
71 >   dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
72 >
73 > 4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
74 >
75 > 5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
76 >   actions.
77 >
78 > 6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
79 >   thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
80 >
81 > 7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
82 >
83 > 8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
84 >   for both fields and parameter setting.
85 >
86 > 9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
87 >   visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
88 >
89 > 10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
90 >    when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
91 >
92 > 11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
93 >
94 > 12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
95 >    GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
96 >
97 > 13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
98 >    of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.
99 >

106 >
107 > 1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
108 >   it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
109 >
110 >   Many thanks to Julio JimĂ©nez for this fix
111 >
112 > 2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
113 >   and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.

115 > IBX Change Log  version         (1.0-3) Thu, 22 Nov 2012 22:53:39 +0000
116 >
117 > 1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
118 >   Lazarus versions less than 1.1
119 >
120 > 2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
121 >   to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
122 >   1250 to 1254.
