1 + IBX Change Log  version (2.3-4 Build 12031) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 11:21:22 +0100
2 +
3 + 1.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
4 +    not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
5 +
6 + 2.  TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is
7 +    passed to the Firebird engine for execution.
8 +
9 + 3.  TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt
10 +    is made to scroll back.
11 +
12 + 4.  New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
13 +
14 + 5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
15 +   only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
16 +
17 + 6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
18 +   validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
19 +   been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
20 +   if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.
21 +
22 + 7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance
23 +   with fpc 3.2.
24 +
25 + IBX Change Log  version (2.3-3 Build 11512) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000
26 +
27 +
28 + 1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
29 +   and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
30 +   includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
31 +   Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
32 +   For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
33 +
34 +   Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
35 +   over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
36 +   also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
37 +   "WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
38 +   compression to be used.
39 +
40 +   Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
41 +   returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
42 +   ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
43 +
44 + 2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
45 +   is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
46 +   ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
47 +
48 + 3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
49 +   not "INT64".
50 +
51 + 4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
52 +   These are:
53 +    property TimestampFormat: string;
54 +    property DateFormat: string;
55 +    property TimeFormat: string;
56 +
57 +   Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
58 +   DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
59 +   characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
60 +
61 +   If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
62 +   is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
63 +   locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
64 +
65 +   TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
66 +   two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
67 +
68 + 5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
69 +     property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
70 +
71 +   If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
72 +   used to delimit each and every string in the output.
73 +
74 + 6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
75 +    property FieldSeparator: string;
76 +    property HeaderSeparator: string;
77 +
78 +   Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
79 +   in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
80 +
81 + 7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
82 +    TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
83 +    property OnFormatTextString;
84 +
85 +   This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
86 +   in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
87 +   This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
88 +
89 + 8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
90 +   Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
91 +   and without raising and exception if it does not.
92 +
93 + 9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
94 +   consistency with SQL queries.
95 +
96 + 10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
97 +    When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
98 +    TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
99 +
100 + 11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
101 +    an IDE exception.
102 +
103 + 12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
104 +    when the schema source is an sql file.
105 +
106 + 13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
107 +    when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
108 +    initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
109 +    to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
110 +
111 + 14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
112 +    to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
113 +    Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
114 +    when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
115 +
116 + 15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
117 +    are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
118 +    the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
119 +    IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
120 +    completely ignored if this property is true.
121 +
122 + 16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
123 +    to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
124 +    ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
125 +
126 + 17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
127 +    read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
128 +    the same database connection.
129 +
130 + 18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
131 +    if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
132 +    including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
133 +    "Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
134 +    the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
135 +    in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
136 +
137 +    If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
138 +    and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
139 +
140 +    The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
141 +    value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
142 +
143 +    This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
144 +    use at run time.
145 +
146 +    Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
147 +    is unaffected by this change.
148 +
149 + IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
150 +
151 + 1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
152 +   IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
153 +   mode apps.
154 +
155 + 2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
156 +   statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
157 +
158 + 3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
159 +   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
160 +
161 + 4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
162 +   as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
163 +
164 + 5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
165 +
166 + 6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
167 +   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
168 +
169 + 7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
170 +    being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
171 +
172 + 8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
173 +   FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
174 +   the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
175 +
176 + 9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
177 +   is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
178 +   services connection.
179 +
180 + 10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
181 +   or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
182 +
183 + 11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
184 +    view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
185 +    TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
186 +    ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
187 +
188 + 12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
189 +    the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
190 +    must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
191 +    this setting.
192 +
193 + IBX Change Log  version                 (2.3-1) Thu, 25 Oct 2018 14:39:45 +0100
194 +
195 + 1. IBCustomDataset: replace deprecated function ValidUTF8String with call to
196 +   Utf8EscapeControlChars
197 +
