1 < IBX Change Log  version                                                              (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
1 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-5 Build 12044) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 12:30:01 +0100
2  
3 < 1.  Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
4 <    empty Params property.
3 > 1. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are
4 >   case sensitive
5  
6 < 2.  IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3.
7 <    Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply
8 <    SQL markup on initial open.
6 > 2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser.
7  
8 < 3.  "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling.
8 > 3. New API Calls:
9 >        IColumnMetaData.GetStatement
10 >        IColumnMetaData.GetTransaction
11 >        ISQLData.GetStrLength
12 >        IResults.GetStatement
13 >        IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata)
14 >        IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata)
15  
16 < 4.  DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a
13 <    TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a
14 <    random image cached).
16 > 4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages
17  
18 < 5.  DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time.
18 > 5. TFBArray.Create (2nd case): ensure that FFirebirdClientAPI is correctly set.
19  
20 < 6.  IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid  
19 <    even when further rows exist.
20 > 6. TIBSQLStatementType: SQLSavePoint added to end of enumeration.
21  
22 < 7.  DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should
22 <    always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion.
23 <    Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time,
24 <    each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE
25 <    in order to remove the property value from the lfm.
22 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-4 Build 11515)  Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:19 +0000
23  
24 + 1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
25 +   where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
26  
27 < IBX Change Log  version                                                          (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100
27 > 2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
28 >   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
29 >   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
30  
31 < 1.  TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
32 <    call Prepare before setting parameter values.
31 > 3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
32 >   is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
33 >   compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
34  
35 < 2.  Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter.
35 > 4. IColumnMetaData: new method.
36  
37 < 3.  Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector.
37 >   TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
38 >                        dfDateTime,   {SQL DATETIME}
39 >                        dfTime);
40  
41 < 4.  Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction
38 <    has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost"
39 <    and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called
40 <    for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called
41 <    after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events
42 <    enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be
43 <    handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs
44 <    an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes,
45 <    the transaction should be committed.  Rather than doing this per dataset, this
46 <    can now be done per transaction.
41 >   function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
42  
43 < 5.  TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when
44 <    the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default,
50 <    discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now
51 <    have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes
52 <    on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the
53 <    behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges
54 <    then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed
55 <    (and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the
56 <    dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case,
57 <    no action is taken and any unsaved  changes are discarded. This avoids both
58 <    unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post
59 <    raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback.
43 >   This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
44 >   when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
45  
46 < 6.  String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets.
47 <    In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character
63 <    width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character.
64 <    For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be
65 <    the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined
66 <    dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
67 <    system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766).
46 > 5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
47 >     CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
48  
49 < 7.  SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string.
49 >   If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
50 >   sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
51 >   sensitive name.
52  
53 < 8.  IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the
54 <    control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms.
53 > 6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
54 >   is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
55 >   .AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
56 >   using .AsString.
57  
74 9.  DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even
75    when dataset rows are less than visible rows.
58  
77 10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource
78    does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event
79    OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row.
59  
60 < 11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset
82 <    while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors.
60 > FBINTF Change Log  version                  (1.1-3) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:28:10 +0000
61  
62 < 12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to
85 <    avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables.
62 > 1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
63  
64 < 13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes.
64 > 2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
65 >   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
66  
67 < 14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced
68 <    to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by
69 <    a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset
92 <    always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate
93 <    to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the
94 <    "MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called
95 <    as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post
96 <    into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is
97 <    achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be
98 <    raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal
99 <    a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml)
67 > 3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
68 >   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
69 >   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
70  
71 < 15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon
72 <    separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right
103 <    order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux,
104 <    the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be
105 <    overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function.
71 > 4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
72 >   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
73  
74 <    Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:"
108 <    then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will
109 <    require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username
110 <    and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant
111 <    access.
74 > 5. New function added to IB.pas
75  
76 < IBX Change Log  version                                                    (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
76 >   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
77  
78 < 1.  A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
79 <    rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
80 <    that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
81 <    corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
119 <    replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
78 >   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
79 >   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
80 >   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
81 >   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.
82  
83 < 2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.
122 <   When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change
123 <   takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with
124 <   the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor.
83 > FBINTF Change Log  version               (1.1-2) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:30:32 +0100
84  
85 < 3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery
86 <   and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to
128 <   Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of
129 <   making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly
130 <   committed.
85 > 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
86 >   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
87  
88 < 4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
89 <   using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature.
88 > 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
89 >    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
90 >    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
91  
92 < IBX Change Log  version                                                   (1.2-1) Fri, 13 Mar 2015 11:14:15 +0000
92 > 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
93 >    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
94 >    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
95 >    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
96  
97 < Development version only.
97 > 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
98 >    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
99  
100 < IBX Change Log  version                                      (1.2-0) Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:34:04 +0000
100 > 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
101 >   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
102 >   up to the last fetch.
103  
104 < 1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
105 <   This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
143 <   "Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
144 <   complexity.
104 > 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
105 >   the problem.
106  
107 < 2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
108 <   three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
148 <   These are:
107 > 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
108 >   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
109  
110 <   - TIBLookupComboEditBox
151 <   - TIBDynamicGrid
152 <   - TIBTreeview
110 > 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
111  
112 <   TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
155 <   of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
156 <   to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
157 <   typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a
158 <   newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
159 <   list items.
112 > 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
113  
114 <   TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
162 <   - automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
163 <   - automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
164 <     column footer, on a per column basis.
165 <   - DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
166 <     A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
167 <   - Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
168 <     is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
169 <     number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
170 <     as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
171 <   - Reselection of the same row following resorting.
172 <   - A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
173 <     Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
174 <     columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
175 <     Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
176 <     is unaffected by the extension.
114 > 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
115  
116 <   TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
116 > 13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.
117  
180 3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
181   zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
118  
119 < 4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
184 <   "GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
119 > FBINTF Change Log  version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
120  
121 < 5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
187 <   repeated multiple times.
121 > 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
122  
123 < 6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
124 <   check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
125 <   statements.
123 > 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
124 >     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
125 >     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
126  
127 < 7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
128 <   Stored Procedures.
127 >   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
128 >   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
129 >   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
130 >   require a database lookup.
131  
132 < 8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls
132 > 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
133  
134 + 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
135  
136 < IBX Change Log  version                      (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100
136 > 5. IAttachment: add
137 >      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
138 >      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
139 >      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
140 >      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
141  
142 < 1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
143 <   setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
203 <   Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
142 >   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
143 >   require a database lookup.
144  
145 < 2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
146 <   See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
145 > 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
146 >   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
147  
148 < 3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
149 <   dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
148 > 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
149 >   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
150 >   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
151 >   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
152 >   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
153  
154 < 4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
154 > 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
155  
156 < 5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
214 <   actions.
156 > 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
157  
158 < 6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
159 <   thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
158 > 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
159 >   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
160 >   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
161 >   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
162  
163 < 7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
163 > 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
164  
165 < 8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
166 <   for both fields and parameter setting.
165 > 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
166 >    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
167 >    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
168 >    a string with code page CP_NONE.
169  
170 < 9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
171 <   visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
170 > 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
171 >    test suite updated.
172  
173 < 10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
174 <    when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
173 > 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
174 >    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
175  
176 < 11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
176 > 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
177 >    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
178 >    default connection port to be specified.
179  
180 < 12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
233 <    GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
180 > FBINTF Change Log  version                             (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
181  
182 < 13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
183 <    of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.
237 <  
182 > 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
183 >   Scale is no longer ignored.
184  
185 < IBX Change Log  version                 (1.0-5) Sat, 28 Dec 2013 19:22:23 +0000
185 > 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
186 >   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
187 >   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
188 >   to Firebird as Text Strings.
189  
190 < 1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to >= 2.7.0 to match revised availability of change.
190 > 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
191 >   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
192  
193 < IBX Change Log  version          (1.0-4) Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:56:13 +0000

194 >   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
195 >   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when

197  
198 < 1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
199 <   it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
198 > 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
199 >   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
200 >   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is

202  
203 <   Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
203 > 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
204 >   set supported by Firebird with the API.
205  
206 < 2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
207 <   and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.
206 > 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
207 >   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.

209 > 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
210  
211 < 1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
212 <   Lazarus versions less than 1.1
211 > 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
212 >   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
213 >   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
214 >   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
215  
216 < 2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
259 <   to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
260 <   1250 to 1254.
216 > 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
217  
218 + 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.

220 < IBX Change Log  version     (1.0-2) Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:10:30 +0100
220 > 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
221  
222 < 1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to > 2.6.2 to match expected availability of change.
222 > 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
223 >    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
224 >    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
225 >    an SQLDA error.
226  
227 + 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
228  
229 < IBX Change Log  version    (1.0-1) Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:00:04 +0100
229 > 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
230 >    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
231  
232 < 1. In IBCustomDataset. Changed CurBookmark from string to TBookmark for compiler versions > 2.6.0
233 <   Necessary because of TBookmark type and TDataSet.Bookmark property change in fpc 2.7.1
232 > 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
233 >    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
234  
273 2. IBX now registers TIntegerField as a "No Icon" component. This may be removed if the fpc DB
274   package is changed to do this (which it should do).

237  
238 < 1. Add "if active then active := false" to TIBCustomDataset destructor. (Avoid error on database close).
238 > 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
239  
240 < 2. Make use of $STATIC conditional in IBSQLMonitor (Needed for FPC 2.6.0 compliance)
240 > 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
241 >   compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
242  
243 < 3. Database Property Editor: Character Set drop down box now uses "OnChange" rather than "OnCloseUp" to react to changes
243 > 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
244 >   defined for each interface.
245  
246 < 4. Property editors should now correctly resize.
246 > 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
247  
248 < 5. In IBDatabaseEdit.TestClick, the LoginPrompt is now set to the state of the LoginPrompt Checkbox
249 <   (restored original functionality)
248 > 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
249 >   where PAnsiChar is used instead.
250 >
251 > 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
252 >

257 > 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
258 >   large blobs and the FB3 API.
259 >
260 > 2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
261 >   event block.
262 >
263 > 3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
264 >
265 > 4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
266 >   DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
267 >   Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
268 >   though it is not required for character set none.
269 >
270 > 5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
271 >
272 > 6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
273 >
274 > 7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
275 >   CREATE DATABASE statement.
276 >
277 > 8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
278 >   an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
279 >
280 > 9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
281 >   when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
282 >
283 > 10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
284 >    statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
285 >    to enable stats gathering.
286 >
287 > 11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
288 >
289 > 12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
