1 IBX Change Log version (1.4-3) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:15 +0100
2
3 1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration
4 when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for
5 http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622.
6
7 2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server
8 since Firebird 1.5.
9
10 3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or
11 similar.
12
13 4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id.
14
15 5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in
16 Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16.
17
18 6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8
19 regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
20 is for compatibility with the LCL.
21
22 IBX Change Log version (1.4-2) Sat, 16 Jul 2016 13:25:48 +0100
23
24 1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
25 read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
26 improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
27
28 2. Clearing a Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
29
30 3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
31 is now used.
32
33 4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
34 determined.
35
36 5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
37
38 6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post
39 lazarus 1.6.0
40
41 7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages"
42 compilation error.
43
44 IBX Change Log version (1.4-1) Tue, 17 May 2016 09:14:51 +0100
45
46 1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
47 character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
48 Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
49 set as the connection.
50
51 2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
52 for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
53
54 3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
55 to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
56 entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
57
58 4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
59 column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
60 Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
61
62 5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
63 column width.
64
65 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
66 and a case insensitive search is requested.
67
68 7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
69 or column ListSource.
70
71 8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
72 unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
73
74 9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
75 Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
76
77 10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
78 Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
79
80 11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
81
82 12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
83 string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
84 Firebird driver transliteration, if any. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
85 earlier versions.
86
87 13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
88 will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
89 if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
90
91 14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
92 is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
93 the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
94 platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
95 3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
96 the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
97
98 15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
99 name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
100 Database is connected.
101
102 16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
103 id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.
104
105 IBX Change Log version (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000
106
107 1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
108 path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
109 temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
110 prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
111 be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
112
113 2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
114 i. The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
115 ii. If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
116 points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
117 "bin" directory.
118 iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
119 is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
120 "bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
121 iv. The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
122 are searched for the FB Client DLL.
123 v. The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
124 vi. Finally the PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
125
126 3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
127 See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
128
129 4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
130 simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
131 See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
132
133 5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
134 dynamic columns.
135
136 6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
137 between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.
138
139 IBX Change Log version (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
140
141 1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
142
143 1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
144
145 2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
146
147 3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
148
149 4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
150 i.e. when it is a calculated field
151
152 5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
153 This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
154 determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
155 is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
156 be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
157 calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
158
159 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
160 Windows.
161
162 7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
163 These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
164 to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
165
166 8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
167 TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
168
169 9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
170 TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
171 1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
172
173 Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
174 from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
175 implies no truncation.
176
177 10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
178
179 11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
180 (avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
181
182 12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
183
184 13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
185 DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
186
187 14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
188
189 15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
190
191 16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
192
193 17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.
194
195 IBX Change Log version (1.3-1) Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:30:50 +0100
196
197 1. OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties
198
199 2. IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids
200 problem with row size when exception is called.
201
202 3. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit.
203
204 4. IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if
205 in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo
206
207 5. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text
208 keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed
209
210 6. Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support
211 console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and
212 cursor management) centralised in the IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is
213 not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program.
214 See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a
215 console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your
216 application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package.
217
218 IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order
219 to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is
220 included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause.
221 This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why
222 you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The
223 ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs
224 to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the
225 unit search paths set up correctly.
226
227 Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in
228 each project's source file (*.lpr).
229
230 You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode
231 exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This
232 adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently
233 available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file.
234
235 Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode.
236
237 7. SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines
238
239 8. IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end
240 of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a
241 column and then inserting text.
242
243 9. New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor.
244
245 10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer
246 write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the
247 IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write
248 of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could
249 not be automatically recognised.
250
251 11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor
252 already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical.
253
254 12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error
255 when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the
256 table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix.
257
258 13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead
259 of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing
260 users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications.
261
262 IBX Change Log version (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
263
264 1. Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
265 empty Params property.
266
267 2. IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3.
268 Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply
269 SQL markup on initial open.
270
271 3. "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling.
272
273 4. DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a
274 TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a
275 random image cached).
276
277 5. DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time.
278
279 6. IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid
280 even when further rows exist.
281
282 7. DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should
283 always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion.
284 Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time,
285 each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE
286 in order to remove the property value from the lfm.
287
288
289 IBX Change Log version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100
290
291 1. TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
292 call Prepare before setting parameter values.
293
294 2. Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter.
295
296 3. Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector.
297
298 4. Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction
299 has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost"
300 and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called
301 for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called
302 after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events
303 enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be
304 handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs
305 an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes,
306 the transaction should be committed. Rather than doing this per dataset, this
307 can now be done per transaction.
308
309 5. TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when
310 the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default,
311 discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now
312 have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes
313 on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the
314 behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges
315 then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed
316 (and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the
317 dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case,
318 no action is taken and any unsaved changes are discarded. This avoids both
319 unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post
320 raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback.
321
322 6. String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets.
323 In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character
324 width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character.
325 For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be
326 the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined
327 dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
328 system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766).
329
330 7. SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string.
331
332 8. IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the
333 control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms.
334
335 9. DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even
336 when dataset rows are less than visible rows.
337
338 10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource
339 does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event
340 OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row.
341
342 11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset
343 while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors.
344
345 12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to
346 avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables.
347
348 13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes.
349
350 14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced
351 to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by
352 a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset
353 always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate
354 to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the
355 "MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called
356 as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post
357 into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is
358 achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be
359 raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal
360 a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml)
361
362 15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon
363 separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right
364 order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux,
365 the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be
366 overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function.
367
368 Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:"
369 then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will
370 require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username
371 and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant
372 access.
373
374 IBX Change Log version (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
375
376 1. A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
377 rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
378 that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
379 corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
380 replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
381
382 2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.
383 When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change
384 takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with
385 the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor.
386
387 3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery
388 and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to
389 Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of
390 making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly
391 committed.
392
393 4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
394 using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature.
395
396 IBX Change Log version (1.2-1) Fri, 13 Mar 2015 11:14:15 +0000
397
398 Development version only.
399
400 IBX Change Log version (1.2-0) Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:34:04 +0000
401
402 1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
403 This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
404 "Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
405 complexity.
406
407 2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
408 three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
409 These are:
410
411 - TIBLookupComboEditBox
412 - TIBDynamicGrid
413 - TIBTreeview
414
415 TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
416 of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
417 to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
418 typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a
419 newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
420 list items.
421
422 TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
423 - automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
424 - automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
425 column footer, on a per column basis.
426 - DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
427 A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
428 - Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
429 is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
430 number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
431 as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
432 - Reselection of the same row following resorting.
433 - A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
434 Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
435 columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
436 Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
437 is unaffected by the extension.
438
439 TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
440
441 3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
442 zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
443
444 4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
445 "GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
446
447 5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
448 repeated multiple times.
449
450 6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
451 check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
452 statements.
453
454 7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
455 Stored Procedures.
456
457 8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls

460 IBX Change Log version (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100
461
462 1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
463 setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
464 Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
465
466 2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
467 See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
468
469 3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
470 dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
471
472 4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
473
474 5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
475 actions.
476
477 6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
478 thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
479
480 7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
481
482 8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
483 for both fields and parameter setting.
484
485 9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
486 visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
487
488 10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
489 when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
490
491 11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
492
493 12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
494 GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
495
496 13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
497 of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.

505
506 1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
507 it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
508
509 Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
510
511 2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
512 and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.
513
514 IBX Change Log version (1.0-3) Thu, 22 Nov 2012 22:53:39 +0000
515
516 1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
517 Lazarus versions less than 1.1
518
519 2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
520 to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
521 1250 to 1254.
522

524 IBX Change Log version (1.0-2) Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:10:30 +0100
525
526 1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to > 2.6.2 to match expected availability of change.
527
528
529 IBX Change Log version (1.0-1) Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:00:04 +0100
530
531 1. In IBCustomDataset. Changed CurBookmark from string to TBookmark for compiler versions > 2.6.0
532 Necessary because of TBookmark type and TDataSet.Bookmark property change in fpc 2.7.1
533
534 2. IBX now registers TIntegerField as a "No Icon" component. This may be removed if the fpc DB
535 package is changed to do this (which it should do).
536
537 IBX Change Log version (1.0-0) Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:43:00 +0100
538
539 1. Add "if active then active := false" to TIBCustomDataset destructor. (Avoid error on database close).
540
541 2. Make use of $STATIC conditional in IBSQLMonitor (Needed for FPC 2.6.0 compliance)
542
543 3. Database Property Editor: Character Set drop down box now uses "OnChange" rather than "OnCloseUp" to react to changes
544
545 4. Property editors should now correctly resize.
546
547 5. In IBDatabaseEdit.TestClick, the LoginPrompt is now set to the state of the LoginPrompt Checkbox
548 (restored original functionality)
549
550 6. Under OSX, if IBX fails to load libfbclient.dylib, it will now try and load the firebird
551 library using the absolute path /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Firebird.
