1 IBX Change Log version (2.3-0) Tue, 03 Apr 2018 10:03:02 +0100
2
3 IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
4 all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
5
6 The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
7 IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
8 to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
9 to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
10 Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
11 packages.
12
13 1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
14 the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
15 use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
16 more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
17 As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
18 provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
19 using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
20
21 2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
22 finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
23 not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
24 new set of IBX packages.
25
26 3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
27 updated to use the new Services API components.
28
29 4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
30
31 5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
32 TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
33 as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
34 correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
35 the setting has moved to the mappings page.
36
37 6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
38 are ignored.
39
40 7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
41 closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
42 are also fired.
43
44 8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
45 is started and not just the first time.
46
47 9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
48 depenendency with comp type.
49
50 10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
51
52 11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
53 then this is recognised and not ignored.
54
55 12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
56 function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
57 function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
58 property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
59
60 GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
61 if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
62 counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
63 the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
64 and then GetPerfStatistics.
65
66 See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
67
68 13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
69 in parenthesises.
70
71 14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
72 SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
73 only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
74 characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
75
76 15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
77 are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
78
79 16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
80 property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
81
82 When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
83 through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
84 then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
85 row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
86 is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
87 to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
88
89 Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
90 chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
91 to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
92
93 17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
94 with Extract Option eoDatabase.
95
96 18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
97 When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
98 combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
99 relationship with the control's datasource (master).
100
101 19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
102
103 20. Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
104 stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
105
106 21. TIBExtact: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
107 DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
108
109 22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
110 i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
111 ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
112 iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
113 iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
114 before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
115 no DataSource assigned.
116
117 23. Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
118 between SQL statements.
119
120 24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
121 ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
122 names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
123 double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
124 against the metadata object name.
125
126 If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
127 against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
128
129 IBX Change Log version (2.2-0) Wed, 28 Feb 2018 10:57:45 +0000
130
131 NOTE: THE LOCATIONS OF SOME OF THE UNIT DIRECTORIES HAS CHANGED FROM IBX 2.1. THIS IS TO
132 AVOID DUPLICATE PPU WARNINGS. PLEASE REMOVE EARLIER VERSIONS OF IBX BEFORE INSTALLING THIS
133 RELEASE.
134
135 NOTE: THE DBADMIN DEMO REQUIRES THAT THE MemDSLaz PACKAGE IS INSTALLED IN THE LAZARUS IDE.
136
137 1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name.
138
139 2. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses.
140 The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further
141 information). However, this is also a very useful mechanism for returning updated computed by
142 column values. Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement
143 replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column.
144
145 Previously, if a dataset's select query included read only (computed by) fields then
146 an automatic row refresh was performed after an insert or update query had been processed,
147 irrespective of the setting of the "ForcedUpdates" property. This has changed such
148 that an automatic refresh is no longer performed if an insert or update query contains
149 a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row
150 refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any
151 field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update
152 returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query.
153
154 This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change
155 existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability.
156
157 3. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as
158 they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in
159 updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler
160 "OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and
161 an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned
162 by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and
163 perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user,
164 the deletion of a row with the returned values.
165
166 4. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for
167 any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to
168 illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update.
169
170 5. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published.
171
172 6. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List.
173 When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to
174 be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of
175 each Identity column after the insert is executed.
176
177 7. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause.
178 Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in
179 Insert..Returning clause.
180
181 8. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time
182 a new value is generated.
183
184 9. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used.
185
186 10. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System
187 Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table.
188
189 11. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field
190 values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again
191 to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach).
192
193 12. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures.
194 * Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and
195 which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select
196 query).
197 * Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2).
198
199 13. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName
200 can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is
201 expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the
202 generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package.
203
204 14. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include
205 a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from
206 which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package
207 stored procedures are listed.
208
209 15. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting
210 for password on reconnect.
211
212 16. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page
213 and character set name.
214
215 17. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise
216 DB info lookups"
217
218 18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects.
219
220 19. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL.
221
222 20. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input
223 parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be
224 located in the record buffer.
225
226 21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table
227 is a System Table.
228
229 22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception.
230 This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query.
231
232 23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to
233 add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using
234 an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a
235 database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db".
236
237 24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout.
238 This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response.
239
240 25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase.
241
242 26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local
243 databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory
244 (including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including
245 trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory
246 in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned
247 from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'.
248 Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed
249 above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be
250 used to improve application portability for Personal Databases.
251
252 27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef
253 this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be
254 managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields
255 editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor
256 is then displayed.
257
258 28. TIBDatabaseInfo: new properties/function
259 * DateDBCreated (returns date/time database created)
260 * TransactionCount (returns no. of active transactions)
261 * GetDatabasePage(PageNo: integer) (returns contents of specified database page - SYSDBA only).
262 * PagesFree (Firebird 3 or later)
263 * PagesUsed (Firebird 3 or later)
264 * Encrypted (returns true if database encrypted. (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only)
265 * EncryptionKeyName (returns the name of the encryption key if any (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only)
266
267 29. IBServices classes now provided the decoded release number in the (array) property ServerVersionNo.
268
269 30. TIBSecurityService now supports display/modification of the User Admin Role (Firebird 2.5 and later).
270
271 31. TIBConfigService now has a procedure SetAutoAdmin(Value: boolean) to enable/disable
272 the automtic mapping of privileged OS users to the RDB$ADMIN role (Firebird 2.5 and later).
273
274 32. TIBBackupService: New Option - NoDBTriggers equivalent to -nodbtriggers switch introduced
275 in the gbak utility at V.2.1 to prevent database-level and transaction-level triggers from
276 firing during backup and restore.
277
278 33. Both TIBBackupService and TIBRestoreService now support backup/restore statistics options
279 for verbose output using the new property "StatisticsRequested".
280 see https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-util-gbak.html#rnfb25-util-gbakstats
281
282 34. TIBRestoreService: now supports new options RestoreMetaDataOnly (Firebird 2.5 and later).
283
284 35. TIBOnlineValidationService component added to the IBServices and the "Firebird Admin"
285 palette. This uses the online validation feature added in Firebird 2.5. The
286 services's properties enable inclusion/exclusion of tables and indexes using
287 regular expressions. See.
288 https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-apiods-api.html#rnfb25-apiods-api-onlinevalidation
289
290 36. IBServices: procedure TIBConfigService.SetNoLinger added to set no linger
291 option on a database.
292
293 37. TIBCustomService: Assign method implemented to allow copying of service login
294 context between service API components. "Detach" method now only detaches
295 service when last reference to the service interface detaches. Tidy up of
296 code for SetActive and Attach methods including password hiding.
297
298 38. TIBDatabase: new properties: AuthenticationMethod and RemoteProtocol. Read only
299 and used to determine the auth method and protocol used for the connection.
300
301 39. TIBDatabase: ensure that SQLDialect setting is used when creating a database using
302 a Create Database Statement generated by IBX.
303
304 40. All IBServices now have an additional published property "PortNo". This may
305 be set to a non-standard port number when necessary. If zero then the default
306 port number is used.
307
308 41: TIBLookupComboeditBox: Ensure dataset updated when change selected with the keyboard
309 and not just the mouse.
310
311 42. TIBCustomDataset: reopen query if already active when a TIBControlLink is added.
312
313 43. TIBTreeview: new ImageIndexField and SelectedIndexField Property allows the
314 image index and selected image index for each node to be set from a database field.
315
316 44. TIBExtract: new extract type (etGrantsToUser) for use with eoDatabase. If included
317 then database schema includes grants to all users. If not present then the
318 only user grants included are those to User PUBLIC.
319
320 45. TIBTreeView: performance improvement. When expanding include both expanded node
321 and child nodes in dataset.
322
323
324 IBX Change Log version (2.1-0) Fri, 15 Dec 2017 12:20:11 +0000
325
326 1. IBCustomDataset: Minor change of PChar to PByte for compatibility with fbintf
327 changes.
328
329 2. IBCustomDataset: Fixed use of incorrect datasize in TIBStringField.SetAsString.
330 Bug could result in truncated multi-byte character set values.
331
332 3. Changes consequential on moving fbintf character set utility functions from
333 IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment.
334
335 4. Avoid "Object is nil" error when opening a database with DefaultSystemCodePage = true
336
337 5. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition when autocompleting text that occasionally
338 results in autocomplete ignoring prefix text.
339
340 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that cursor is not reset to start of text when
341 entering a new name into the text box.
342
343 7. IBCustomDataset: ensure that TIBStringField uses the field size reported by
344 Firebird rather than recomputing it.
345
346 8. Property Editor positioning tidy up: All IBX Property editors should now be
347 screen centre. Previously some were "poDesigned" which may be inappropriate
348 for multi monitor desktops.
349
350 10. TIBTreeView.FindNode: protect against error if zero length path or empty tree node.
351
352 11. TIBTransaction: On Force Disconnect do not raise an exception when problem ending
353 a transaction and always reset the object.
354
355 12. TIBQuery tidyup: remove unnecessary call to GetAffectedRows.
356
357 13. TIBXScript: Allow for override of database filename in Create Database statements.
358
359 14. IBLocaldb: Support initialisation of the database from an SQL script in addition
360 to a gbak format archive.
361
362 15. IBLocaldb: fix problem that stopped the OnSharedDataDir event from being recognised.
363
364 16. IBLocaldb: Drop database if error creating an empty database.
365
366 17. TIBTreeView: improve performance when selecting node - avoid refreshing dataset
367 unless selected node not in current dataset.
368
369 18. IBServices: SetDBParams method moved from TCustomIBLocalDBSupport (in IBLocalDB package)
370 to TIBCustomService, and IBlocalDB code tidy up.
371
372 19. IBTreeView: Initialise TIBTreeNode KeyValue to null to avoid unpredictable
373 behaviour due to uninitialised variable.
374
375 20. IBServices: Correct encoding of isc_spb_prp_write_mode in TIBConfigService from
376 integer to byte. Ditto isc_spb_prp_reserve_space and isc_spb_prp_access_mode.
377
378 21. IBSQL: When Database changed ensure that all resources are freed.
379
380 22. IBCustomDataset: When database changed ensure that queries an unprepared.
381
382 23. SQL Property Editors now use SynEdit with SQL Highlighter. New features include:
383 * Line Wrap on SQL Token boundaries (on user command)
384 * auto-complete table names in drop down list of table names
385 * Double click on tablename or field name adds to SQL text
386
387 24. IBDataOutput: print statistics using float (%f) format instead of decimal (%d).
388
389 25. IBTreeView: Call to FindNode: param type change from "array of Variant" to
390 TVariantArray. Seems to avoid memory corruption in Windows (probably a
391 workaround for a problem in fpc 3.0.4 win64).
392
393 26. IBDatabaseInfo: Code tidy up. Add check for database not assigned or not open.
394
395 27. IBDatabaseInfo: Remove memory leak when accessing database operation counts.
396
397 IBX Change Log version (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000
398
399 1. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to
400 include remote system name.
401
402 2. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty
403 tables when data included in output.
404
405 3. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance
406 and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate
407 performance bottlenecks.
408
409 4. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different.
410
411 5. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit
412
413 6. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures
414 that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName
415 not found error.
416
417 7. IBUpdate: This is a new IBX component similar to TIBUpdateSQL. It is more general
418 purpose and allows the programmer to define any action they want for Update, Insert
419 or Delete. This may be complex SQL (similar to a Trigger), application specific
420 filtering of updates, or use of statements such as Grant or Revoke instead of
421 normal DML. See User Manual for more information.
422
423 IBX Change Log version (2.0-1) Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:31:49 +0000
424
425 1. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events.
426
427 2. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege.
428
429 3. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using
430 hexadecimal notation.
431
432 4. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements
433 using a simple XML format.
434
435 5. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include
436 grants to these objects.
437
438 6. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid
439 dependency problems restoring complex databases.
440
441 7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of
442 embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition
443 to non-interactive data sources such as files.
444
445 8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported.
446
447 9. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported:
448 SET SQL DIALECT
449 SET TERM
450 SET AUTODDL
451 SET BAIL
452 SET ECHO
453 SET COUNT
454 SET STATS
455 SET NAMES <character set>
456
457 10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information.
458
459 11. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments.,
460 and domain definitions.
461
462 12. TIBExtract: Triggers now use SQL2003 syntax and database and transaction triggers
463 fully supported.
464
465 13. TIBExtract: when a database dump includes data, the generator values are now also set.
466
467 14: IBSQLEdit: Unit LCLPlatformDef added to uses clauses for lazarus 1.7 and later.
468

470
471 See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on
472 upgrading to IBX2.
473
474 1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field
475 and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such
476 as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField
477 code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour.
478 The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0.
479
480 2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When
481 true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is
482 always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear
483 why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false.
484
485 3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure
486 block.
487
488 4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not
489 exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt
490 is made to create the database.
491
492 5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database
493 has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when
494 creating a database after it was found not to exist.
495
496 6. DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being
497 written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message
498 loop before rendering the row image.
499
500 7. DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for
501 a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is
502 known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first
503 displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening
504 of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created.
505
506 8. DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with
507 a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel.
508
509 9. TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes.
510
511 10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows.
512
513 11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade.
514
515 IBX Change Log version (1.4-3) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:15 +0100
516
517 1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration
518 when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for
519 http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622.
520
521 2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server
522 since Firebird 1.5.
523
524 3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or
525 similar.
526
527 4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id.
528
529 5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in
530 Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16.
531
532 6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8
533 regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
534 is for compatibility with the LCL.
535
536 IBX Change Log version (1.4-2) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:25:27 +0100
537
538 1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
539 read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
540 improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
541
542 2. Clearing a Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
543
544 3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
545 is now used.
546
547 4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
548 determined.
549
550 5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
551
552 6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post
553 lazarus 1.6.0
554
555 7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages"
556 compilation error.
557
558 IBX Change Log version (1.4-1) Tue, 17 May 2016 09:14:51 +0100
559
560 1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
561 character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
562 Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
563 set as the connection.
564
565 2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
566 for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
567
568 3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
569 to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
570 entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
571
572 4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
573 column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
574 Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
575
576 5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
577 column width.
578
579 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
580 and a case insensitive search is requested.
581
582 7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
583 or column ListSource.
584
585 8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
586 unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
587
588 9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
589 Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
590
591 10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
592 Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
593
594 11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
595
596 12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
597 string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
598 Firebird driver transliteration, if any. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
599 earlier versions.
600
601 13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
602 will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
603 if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
604
605 14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
606 is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
607 the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
608 platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
609 3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
610 the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
611
612 15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
613 name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
614 Database is connected.
615
616 16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
617 id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.
618
619 IBX Change Log version (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000
620
621 1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
622 path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
623 temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
624 prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
625 be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
626
627 2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
628 i. The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
629 ii. If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
630 points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
631 "bin" directory.
632 iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
633 is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
634 "bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
635 iv. The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
636 are searched for the FB Client DLL.
637 v. The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
638 vi. Finally the PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
639
640 3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
641 See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
642
643 4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
644 simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
645 See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
646
647 5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
648 dynamic columns.
649
650 6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
651 between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.
652
653 IBX Change Log version (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
654
655 1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
656
657 1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
658
659 2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
660
661 3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
662
663 4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
664 i.e. when it is a calculated field
665
666 5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
667 This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
668 determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
669 is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
670 be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
671 calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
672
673 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
674 Windows.
675
676 7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
677 These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
678 to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
679
680 8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
681 TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
682
683 9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
684 TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
685 1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
686
687 Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
688 from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
689 implies no truncation.
690
691 10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
692
693 11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
694 (avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
695
696 12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
697
698 13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
699 DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
700
701 14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
702
703 15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
704
705 16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
706
707 17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.
708
709 IBX Change Log version (1.3-1) Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:30:50 +0100
710
711 1. OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties
712
713 2. IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids
714 problem with row size when exception is called.
715
716 3. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit.
717
718 4. IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if
719 in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo
720
721 5. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text
722 keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed
723
724 6. Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support
725 console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and
726 cursor management) centralised in the IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is
727 not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program.
728 See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a
729 console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your
730 application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package.
731
732 IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order
733 to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is
734 included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause.
735 This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why
736 you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The
737 ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs
738 to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the
739 unit search paths set up correctly.
740
741 Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in
742 each project's source file (*.lpr).
743
744 You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode
745 exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This
746 adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently
747 available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file.
748
749 Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode.
750
751 7. SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines
752
753 8. IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end
754 of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a
755 column and then inserting text.
756
757 9. New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor.
758
759 10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer
760 write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the
761 IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write
762 of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could
763 not be automatically recognised.
764
765 11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor
766 already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical.
767
768 12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error
769 when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the
770 table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix.
771
772 13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead
773 of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing
774 users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications.
775
776 IBX Change Log version (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
777
778 1. Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
779 empty Params property.
780
781 2. IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3.
782 Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply
783 SQL markup on initial open.
784
785 3. "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling.
786
787 4. DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a
788 TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a
789 random image cached).
790
791 5. DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time.
792
793 6. IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid
794 even when further rows exist.
795
796 7. DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should
797 always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion.
798 Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time,
799 each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE
800 in order to remove the property value from the lfm.
801
802
803 IBX Change Log version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100
804
805 1. TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
806 call Prepare before setting parameter values.
807
808 2. Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter.
809
810 3. Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector.
811
812 4. Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction
813 has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost"
814 and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called
815 for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called
816 after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events
817 enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be
818 handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs
819 an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes,
820 the transaction should be committed. Rather than doing this per dataset, this
821 can now be done per transaction.
822
823 5. TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when
824 the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default,
825 discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now
826 have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes
827 on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the
828 behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges
829 then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed
830 (and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the
831 dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case,
832 no action is taken and any unsaved changes are discarded. This avoids both
833 unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post
834 raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback.
835
836 6. String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets.
837 In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character
838 width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character.
839 For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be
840 the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined
841 dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
842 system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766).
843
844 7. SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string.
845
846 8. IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the
847 control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms.
848
849 9. DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even
850 when dataset rows are less than visible rows.
851
852 10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource
853 does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event
854 OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row.
855
856 11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset
857 while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors.
858
859 12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to
860 avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables.
861
862 13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes.
863
864 14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced
865 to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by
866 a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset
867 always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate
868 to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the
869 "MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called
870 as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post
871 into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is
872 achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be
873 raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal
874 a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml)
875
876 15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon
877 separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right
878 order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux,
879 the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be
880 overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function.
881
882 Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:"
883 then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will
884 require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username
885 and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant
886 access.
887
888 IBX Change Log version (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
889
890 1. A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
891 rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
892 that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
893 corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
894 replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
895
896 2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.
897 When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change
898 takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with
899 the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor.
900
901 3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery
902 and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to
903 Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of
904 making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly
905 committed.
906
907 4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
908 using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature.

915
916 1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
917 This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
918 "Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
919 complexity.
920
921 2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
922 three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
923 These are:
924
925 - TIBLookupComboEditBox
926 - TIBDynamicGrid
927 - TIBTreeview
928
929 TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
930 of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
931 to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
932 typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a
933 newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
934 list items.
935
936 TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
937 - automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
938 - automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
939 column footer, on a per column basis.
940 - DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
941 A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
942 - Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
943 is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
944 number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
945 as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
946 - Reselection of the same row following resorting.
947 - A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
948 Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
949 columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
950 Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
951 is unaffected by the extension.
952
953 TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
954
955 3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
956 zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
957
958 4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
959 "GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
960
961 5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
962 repeated multiple times.
963
964 6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
965 check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
966 statements.
967
968 7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
969 Stored Procedures.
970
971 8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls

974 IBX Change Log version (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100
975
976 1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
977 setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
978 Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
979
980 2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
981 See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
982
983 3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
984 dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
985
986 4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
987
988 5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
989 actions.
990
991 6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
992 thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
993
994 7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
995
996 8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
997 for both fields and parameter setting.
998
999 9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
1000 visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
1001
1002 10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
1003 when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
1004
1005 11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
1006
1007 12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
1008 GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
1009
1010 13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
1011 of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.

1015
1016 1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to >= 2.7.0 to match revised availability of change.
1017
1018 IBX Change Log version (1.0-4) Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:56:13 +0000
1019
1020 1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
1021 it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
1022
1023 Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
1024
1025 2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
1026 and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.
1027
1028 IBX Change Log version (1.0-3) Thu, 22 Nov 2012 22:53:39 +0000
1029
1030 1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
1031 Lazarus versions less than 1.1
1032
1033 2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
1034 to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
1035 1250 to 1254.
1036

1038 IBX Change Log version (1.0-2) Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:10:30 +0100
1039
1040 1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to > 2.6.2 to match expected availability of change.
1041
1042
1043 IBX Change Log version (1.0-1) Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:00:04 +0100
1044
1045 1. In IBCustomDataset. Changed CurBookmark from string to TBookmark for compiler versions > 2.6.0
1046 Necessary because of TBookmark type and TDataSet.Bookmark property change in fpc 2.7.1
1047
1048 2. IBX now registers TIntegerField as a "No Icon" component. This may be removed if the fpc DB
1049 package is changed to do this (which it should do).
1050
1051 IBX Change Log version (1.0-0) Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:43:00 +0100
1052
1053 1. Add "if active then active := false" to TIBCustomDataset destructor. (Avoid error on database close).
1054
1055 2. Make use of $STATIC conditional in IBSQLMonitor (Needed for FPC 2.6.0 compliance)
1056
1057 3. Database Property Editor: Character Set drop down box now uses "OnChange" rather than "OnCloseUp" to react to changes
1058
1059 4. Property editors should now correctly resize.
1060
1061 5. In IBDatabaseEdit.TestClick, the LoginPrompt is now set to the state of the LoginPrompt Checkbox
1062 (restored original functionality)
1063
1064 6. Under OSX, if IBX fails to load libfbclient.dylib, it will now try and load the firebird
1065 library using the absolute path /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Firebird.
