3 > 1. TIBTransaction: new properties
4 >    property TransactionID: integer read GetTransactionID;
5 >    property IsReadOnly: boolean read GetIsReadOnly;
6 >    {published}
7 >    property TransactionName: string read FTransactionName write SetTransactionName;
8 >
9 > 2. IBCustomDataset: per row blob and array buffer cached clear before processing
10 >   Insert or Update...Returning. This allows blobs and arrays to be returned
11 >   by the statement.
12 >
13 > 3. TXMLReader moved from IBXScript to package fbintf unit IBUtils.
14 >
15 > 4.  TransactionName initialised to a newly generated GUID if empty.
16 >
17 > 5. New unit: IBJournal. This provides the TIBJournal component which is a wrapper
18 >   for the fbintf package's journaling capability. TIBJournal is used to set the
19 >   file path and filename for the journal file and to Enabled (start journaling) and
20 >   disable (stop journaling). See fbintf/doc/README.ClientSideJournaling.pdf for
21 >   more information, and comments in IBJournal.pas.
22 >
23 > 6. TIBDatabase.InternalTransaction is now a read only transaction.

27 > 1. IBCustomDataset: Modify TISQL component now defaults to GoToFirstRecordOnExecute := true.
28 >   This is for compatibility with Firebird 5 where Update...Returning can return
29 >   a cursor.

33 > 1. Add try-..except check when initially loading library in IDE. This should
34 > ensure that IDE continues to load even when a failure occurs in IBX load
35 > library.
36 >
37 > 2. IBXScript: now recognises a CASE...END block within a stored procedure and
38 >   hence will correctly detect end of the outer containing block when the block
39 >   contains a SELECT ... CASE ... END construct.
40 >
41 > 3. IBExtract: some further tidying up to remove extraneous white space.
42 >
43 > 4. IBCustomDataSet: DefaultFieldClasses array declaration updated to avoid compile time
44 >   errors when extra elements are added to DB.TFieldType.
45 >
46 > 5. IBUpdate: updated to reflect changes to ISQLParam.
47 >
48 > 6. IBXScript: now correctly parses a DECLARE statement which includes a quoted string.
49 >
50 > 7. IBExtract: for ODS >=13, increment generator value by one for ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
51 >
52 > 8. IBSQL: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
53 >

55 >
56 > 1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the
57 >   exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo.
58 >
59 > 2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added.
60 >
61 > 3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property
62 >   is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a
63 >   SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g.
64 >   as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE".
65 >
66 >   There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered
67 >   manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the
68 >   StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as
69 >   CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should
70 >   ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was
71 >   declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double
72 >   quotes).
73 >
74 >   Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes,
75 >   as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not
76 >   include the delimiters (double quotes).
77 >
78 > 4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in
79 >   upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem.
80 >
81 > 5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to
82 >   'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given
83 >   version no.) in the upgrade.conf file.
84 >

86 >
87 > 1. -c command line option added to fbsql example program. Used to set connection
88 >   character set.

90 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-0 Build 12543) Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:00:08 +0000
91 >
92 > 1. Firebird 4 support added.
93 >
94 > 2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
95 >   extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
96 >
97 > 3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
98 >
99 > 4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
100 >   and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
101 >
102 > 5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
103 >   - new data types as above
104 >   - Identity column extensions
105 >   - Default user role
106 >   - SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
107 >   - Internal Functions
108 >
109 > 6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
110 >
111 > 7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
112 >
113 > 8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
114 >   and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
115 >
116 > 9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
117 >   format for rendering a time zone.
118 >
119 > 10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
120 >     to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
121 >
122 > 11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
123 >    IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
124 >
125 > 12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
126 >    now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
127 >
128 > 13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
129 >    truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
130 >    white space to the maximum data size.
131 >
132 > 14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
133 >    table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
134 >    also empty.
135 >
136 > 15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
137 >
138 > 16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
139 >    connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
140 >
141 > 17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
142 >
143 > 18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
144 >
145 > 19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
146 >    not being present as required.
147 >
148 > 20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
149 >    version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
150 >
151 > 21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
152 >    unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
153 >
154 > 22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
155 >    seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
156 >
157 > 23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
158 >      property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
159 >      IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
160 >
161 > 24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.

164  
165   1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
166      number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
# Line 10 | Line 172 | IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 123
172      SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
173      ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
174      dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
175 <    on the dataset. (Not yet tested)
175 >    on the dataset.
176  
177   3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
178      side filters).
# Line 35 | Line 197 | IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 123
197     value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
198     for the field.
199  
200 < 10. IBExtact: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
200 > 10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
201  
202   11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
203      and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
# Line 44 | Line 206 | IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 123
206      In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
207      added back in.
208  
209 + 12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
210 +    false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
211 +
212   12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
213      should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
214      is cancelled.
215  
216 + 13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
217 +    called on a null field.
218 +
219 + 14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
220 +    results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
221 + set.
222 +
223 + 15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
224 +    a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
225 +
226 + 16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
227 +
228 + 17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
229 +
230 + 18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
231 +    possible and an exception raised.
232 +
233 + 19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
234 +    below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
