1 + IBX Change Log  version                                     (1.4-2) Sat, 16 Jul 2016 13:25:48 +0100
2 +
3 + 1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
4 +   read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
5 +   improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
6 +
7 + 2. Clearing a  Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
8 +
9 + 3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
10 +   is now used.
11 +
12 + 4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
13 +   determined.
14 +
15 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
16 +
17 + 6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post
18 +   lazarus 1.6.0
19 +
20 + 7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages"
21 +   compilation error.
22 +
23 + IBX Change Log  version                                 (1.4-1) Tue, 17 May 2016 09:14:51 +0100
24 +
25 + 1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
26 +  character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
27 +  Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
28 +  set as the connection.
29 +
30 + 2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
31 +   for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
32 +
33 + 3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
34 +   to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
35 +   entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
36 +
37 + 4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
38 +   column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
39 +   Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
40 +
41 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
42 +   column width.
43 +
44 + 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
45 +   and a case insensitive search is requested.
46 +
47 + 7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
48 +   or column ListSource.
49 +
50 + 8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
51 +   unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
52 +
53 + 9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
54 +   Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
55 +
56 + 10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
57 +   Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
58 +
59 + 11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
60 +
61 + 12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
62 +    string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
63 +    Firebird driver transliteration, if any.  FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
64 +    earlier versions.
65 +
66 + 13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
67 +    will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
68 +    if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
69 +
70 + 14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
71 +    is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
72 +    the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
73 +    platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
74 +    3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
75 +    the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
76 +
77 + 15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
78 +    name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
79 +    Database is connected.
80 +
81 + 16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
82 +    id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.
83 +
84 + IBX Change Log  version                          (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000
85 +
86 + 1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
87 +   path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
88 +   temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
89 +   prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
90 +   be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
91 +
92 + 2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
93 +     i.   The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
94 +     ii.  If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
95 +          points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
96 +          "bin" directory.
97 +     iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
98 +          is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
99 +          "bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
100 +     iv.  The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
101 +          are searched for the FB Client DLL.
102 +     v.   The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
103 +     vi.  Finally the  PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
104 +
105 + 3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
106 +   See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
107 +
108 + 4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
109 +   simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
110 +   See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
111 +
112 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
113 +   dynamic columns.
114 +
115 + 6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
116 +   between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.
117 +
118 + IBX Change Log  version           (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
119 +
120 + 1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
121 +
122 + 1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
123 +
124 + 2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
125 +
126 + 3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
127 +
128 + 4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
129 +   i.e. when it is a calculated field
130 +
131 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
132 +   This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
133 +   determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
134 +   is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
135 +   be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
136 +   calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
137 +
138 + 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
139 +   Windows.
140 +
141 + 7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
142 +   These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
143 +   to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
144 +
145 + 8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
146 +   TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
147 +
148 + 9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
149 +   TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
150 +   1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
151 +
152 +   Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
153 +   from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
154 +   implies no truncation.
155 +
156 + 10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
157 +
158 + 11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
159 +   (avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
160 +
161 + 12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
162 +
163 + 13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
164 +    DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
165 +
166 + 14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
167 +
168 + 15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
169 +
170 + 16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
171 +
172 + 17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.
173 +
174 + IBX Change Log  version        (1.3-1) Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:30:50 +0100
175 +
176 + 1.   OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties
177 +
178 + 2.   IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids
179 +     problem with row size when exception is called.
180 +
181 + 3.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit.
182 +
183 + 4.   IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if
184 +     in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo
185 +
186 + 5.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text
187 +     keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed
188 +
189 + 6.   Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support
190 +     console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and
191 +     cursor management) centralised in the  IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is
192 +     not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program.
193 +     See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a
194 +     console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your
195 +     application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package.
196 +
197 +     IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order
198 +     to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is
199 +     included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause.
200 +     This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why
201 +     you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The
202 +     ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs
203 +     to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the
204 +     unit search paths set up correctly.
205 +
206 +     Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in
207 +     each project's source file (*.lpr).
208 +
209 +     You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode
210 +     exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This
211 +     adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently
212 +     available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file.
213 +
214 +         Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode.
215 +
216 + 7.   SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines
217 +
218 + 8.   IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end
219 +     of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a
220 +     column and then inserting text.
221 +
222 + 9.   New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor.
223 +
224 + 10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer
225 +    write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the
226 +    IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write
227 +    of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could
228 +        not be automatically recognised.
229 +
230 + 11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor
231 +    already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical.
232 +
233 + 12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error
234 +    when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the
235 +    table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix.
236 +
237 + 13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead
238 +    of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing
239 +    users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications.
240 +
241 + IBX Change Log  version  (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
242 +
243 + 1.  Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
244 +    empty Params property.
245 +
246 + 2.  IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3.
247 +    Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply
248 +    SQL markup on initial open.
249 +
250 + 3.  "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling.
251 +
252 + 4.  DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a
253 +    TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a
254 +    random image cached).
255 +
256 + 5.  DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time.
257 +
258 + 6.  IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid  
259 +    even when further rows exist.
260 +
261 + 7.  DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should
262 +    always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion.
263 +    Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time,
264 +    each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE
265 +    in order to remove the property value from the lfm.
266 +
267 +
268 + IBX Change Log  version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100
269 +
270 + 1.  TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
271 +    call Prepare before setting parameter values.
272 +
273 + 2.  Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter.
274 +
275 + 3.  Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector.
276 +
277 + 4.  Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction
278 +    has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost"
279 +    and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called
280 +    for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called
281 +    after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events
282 +    enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be
283 +    handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs
284 +    an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes,
285 +    the transaction should be committed.  Rather than doing this per dataset, this
286 +    can now be done per transaction.
287 +
288 + 5.  TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when
289 +    the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default,
290 +    discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now
291 +    have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes
292 +    on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the
293 +    behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges
294 +    then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed
295 +    (and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the
296 +    dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case,
297 +    no action is taken and any unsaved  changes are discarded. This avoids both
298 +    unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post
299 +    raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback.
300 +
301 + 6.  String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets.
302 +    In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character
303 +    width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character.
304 +    For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be
305 +    the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined
306 +    dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
307 +    system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766).
308 +
309 + 7.  SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string.
310 +
311 + 8.  IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the
312 +    control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms.
313 +
314 + 9.  DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even
315 +    when dataset rows are less than visible rows.
316 +
317 + 10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource
318 +    does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event
319 +    OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row.
320 +
321 + 11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset
322 +    while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors.
323 +
324 + 12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to
325 +    avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables.
326 +
327 + 13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes.
328 +
329 + 14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced
330 +    to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by
331 +    a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset
332 +    always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate
333 +    to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the
334 +    "MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called
335 +    as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post
336 +    into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is
337 +    achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be
338 +    raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal
339 +    a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml)
340 +
341 + 15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon
342 +    separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right
343 +    order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux,
344 +    the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be
345 +    overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function.
346 +
347 +    Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:"
348 +    then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will
349 +    require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username
350 +    and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant
351 +    access.
352 +
353 + IBX Change Log  version  (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
354 +
355 + 1.  A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
356 +    rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
357 +    that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
358 +    corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
359 +    replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
360 +
361 + 2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.
362 +   When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change
363 +   takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with
364 +   the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor.
365 +
366 + 3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery
367 +   and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to
368 +   Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of
369 +   making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly
370 +   committed.
371 +
372 + 4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
373 +   using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature.
374 +
375 + IBX Change Log  version      (1.2-1) Fri, 13 Mar 2015 11:14:15 +0000
376 +
377 + Development version only.
378 +
379 + IBX Change Log  version   (1.2-0) Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:34:04 +0000
380 +
381 + 1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
382 +   This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
383 +   "Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
384 +   complexity.
385 +
386 + 2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
387 +   three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
388 +   These are:
389 +
390 +   - TIBLookupComboEditBox
391 +   - TIBDynamicGrid
392 +   - TIBTreeview
393 +
394 +   TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
395 +   of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
396 +   to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
397 +   typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a
398 +   newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
399 +   list items.
400 +
401 +   TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
402 +   - automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
403 +   - automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
404 +     column footer, on a per column basis.
405 +   - DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
406 +     A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
407 +   - Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
408 +     is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
409 +     number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
410 +     as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
411 +   - Reselection of the same row following resorting.
412 +   - A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
413 +     Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
414 +     columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
415 +     Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
416 +     is unaffected by the extension.
417 +
418 +   TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
419 +
420 + 3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
421 +   zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
422 +
423 + 4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
424 +   "GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
425 +
426 + 5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
427 +   repeated multiple times.
428 +
429 + 6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
430 +   check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
431 +   statements.
432 +
433 + 7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
434 +   Stored Procedures.
435 +
436 + 8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls
437 +
438 +
439 + IBX Change Log  version  (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100
440 +
441 + 1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
442 +   setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
443 +   Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
444 +
445 + 2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
446 +   See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
447 +
448 + 3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
449 +   dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
450 +
451 + 4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
452 +
453 + 5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
454 +   actions.
455 +
456 + 6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
457 +   thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
458 +
459 + 7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
460 +
461 + 8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
462 +   for both fields and parameter setting.
463 +
464 + 9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
465 +   visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
466 +
467 + 10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
468 +    when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
469 +
470 + 11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
471 +
472 + 12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
473 +    GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
474 +
475 + 13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
476 +    of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.
477 +

479 + IBX Change Log  version                 (1.0-5) Sat, 28 Dec 2013 19:22:23 +0000
480 +
481 + 1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to >= 2.7.0 to match revised availability of change.
482 +
483 + IBX Change Log  version          (1.0-4) Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:56:13 +0000
484 +
485 + 1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
486 +   it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
487 +
488 +   Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
489 +
490 + 2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
491 +   and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.
492 +
493 + IBX Change Log  version         (1.0-3) Thu, 22 Nov 2012 22:53:39 +0000
494 +
495 + 1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
496 +   Lazarus versions less than 1.1
497 +
498 + 2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
499 +   to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
500 +   1250 to 1254.
501 +
502 +
