IBX Change Log version (1.4-1) Tue, 17 May 2016 09:14:51 +0100 |
| 2 |
+ |
|
| 3 |
+ |
1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the |
| 4 |
+ |
character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then |
| 5 |
+ |
Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character |
| 6 |
+ |
set as the connection. |
| 7 |
+ |
|
| 8 |
+ |
2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow |
| 9 |
+ |
for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path. |
| 10 |
+ |
|
| 11 |
+ |
3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name |
| 12 |
+ |
to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the |
| 13 |
+ |
entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only). |
| 14 |
+ |
|
| 15 |
+ |
4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the |
| 16 |
+ |
column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue |
| 17 |
+ |
Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value. |
| 18 |
+ |
|
| 19 |
+ |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating |
| 20 |
+ |
column width. |
| 21 |
+ |
|
| 22 |
+ |
6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given |
| 23 |
+ |
and a case insensitive search is requested. |
| 24 |
+ |
|
| 25 |
+ |
7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls |
| 26 |
+ |
or column ListSource. |
| 27 |
+ |
|
| 28 |
+ |
8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an |
| 29 |
+ |
unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed. |
| 30 |
+ |
|
| 31 |
+ |
9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer. |
| 32 |
+ |
Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows. |
| 33 |
+ |
|
| 34 |
+ |
10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin. |
| 35 |
+ |
Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0. |
| 36 |
+ |
|
| 37 |
+ |
11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed |
| 38 |
+ |
|
| 39 |
+ |
12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a |
| 40 |
+ |
string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after |
| 41 |
+ |
Firebird driver transliteration, if any. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for |
| 42 |
+ |
earlier versions. |
| 43 |
+ |
|
| 44 |
+ |
13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString |
| 45 |
+ |
will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver |
| 46 |
+ |
if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. |
| 47 |
+ |
|
| 48 |
+ |
14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter |
| 49 |
+ |
is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with |
| 50 |
+ |
the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure |
| 51 |
+ |
platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC |
| 52 |
+ |
3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when |
| 53 |
+ |
the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page. |
| 54 |
+ |
|
| 55 |
+ |
15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set |
| 56 |
+ |
name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the |
| 57 |
+ |
Database is connected. |
| 58 |
+ |
|
| 59 |
+ |
16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage |
| 60 |
+ |
id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName. |
| 61 |
+ |

| 63 |
+ |
|
| 64 |
+ |
1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database |
| 65 |
+ |
path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the |
| 66 |
+ |
temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:" |
| 67 |
+ |
prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to |
| 68 |
+ |
be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used. |
| 69 |
+ |
|
| 70 |
+ |
2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL: |
| 71 |
+ |
i. The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory. |
| 72 |
+ |
ii. If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this |
| 73 |
+ |
points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying |
| 74 |
+ |
"bin" directory. |
| 75 |
+ |
iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances |
| 76 |
+ |
is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying |
| 77 |
+ |
"bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL. |
| 78 |
+ |
iv. The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x |
| 79 |
+ |
are searched for the FB Client DLL. |
| 80 |
+ |
v. The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL. |
| 81 |
+ |
vi. Finally the PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL. |
| 82 |
+ |
|
| 83 |
+ |
3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine. |
| 84 |
+ |
See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications. |
| 85 |
+ |
|
| 86 |
+ |
4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to |
| 87 |
+ |
simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms. |
| 88 |
+ |
See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications. |
| 89 |
+ |
|
| 90 |
+ |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for |
| 91 |
+ |
dynamic columns. |
| 92 |
+ |
|
| 93 |
+ |
6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition |
| 94 |
+ |
between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event. |
| 95 |
+ |
|

1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies. |

|
1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo |
| 101 |
|
|
| 102 |
|
2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column |
| 118 |
|
|
| 119 |
|
7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer; |
| 120 |
|
These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character |
| 121 |
< |
to be determined at runtime. |
| 121 |
> |
to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html. |
| 122 |
|
|
| 123 |
|
8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from |
| 124 |
< |
TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. |
| 124 |
> |
TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html. |
| 125 |
|
|
| 126 |
|
9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from |
| 127 |
|
TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of |
| 128 |
< |
1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). |
| 128 |
> |
1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html. |
| 129 |
|
|
| 130 |
|
Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated |
| 131 |
|
from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero |
