->
+. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events.
->
->
+. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege.
->
->

+IBX Change Log  version     (2.0-0) Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:33:44 +0000
->
->
+See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on
->
+upgrading to IBX2.
->
->
+. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field
->
+   and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such
->
+   as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField
->
+   code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour.
->
+   The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0.
->
->
+. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When
->
+   true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is
->
+   always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear
->
+   why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false.
->
->
+. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure
->
+   block.
->
->
+. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not
->
+   exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt
->
+   is made to create the database.
->
->
+. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database
->
+   has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when
->
+   creating a database after it was found not to exist.
->
->
+.  DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being
->
+    written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message
->
+    loop before rendering the row image.
->
->
+.  DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for
->
+    a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is
->
+    known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first
->
+    displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening
->
+    of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created.
->
->
+.  DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with
->
+    a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel.
->
->
+.  TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes.
->
->
+. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows.
->
->
+. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade.
->
->
+IBX Change Log  version                                           (1.4-3) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:15 +0100
->
->
+. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration
->
+   when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for
->
+   http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622.
->
->
+. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server
->
+   since Firebird 1.5.
->
->
+. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or
->
+   similar.
->
->
+. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id.
->
->
+. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in
->
+   Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16.
->
->
+. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8
->
+   regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
->
+   is for compatibility with the LCL.
->
->
+IBX Change Log  version  (1.4-2) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:25:27 +0100
->
->
+. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
->
+   read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
->
+   improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
->
->
+. Clearing a  Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
->
->
+. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
->
+   is now used.
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
->
+   determined.
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
->
->
+. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post
->
+   lazarus 1.6.0
->
->
+. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages"
->
+   compilation error.
->
->
+IBX Change Log  version                                 (1.4-1) Tue, 17 May 2016 09:14:51 +0100
->
->
+. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
->
+  character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
->
+  Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
->
+  set as the connection.
->
->
+. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
->
+   for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
->
->
+. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
->
+   to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
->
+   entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
->
+   column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
->
+   Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
->
+   column width.
->
->
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
->
+   and a case insensitive search is requested.
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
->
+   or column ListSource.
->
->
+. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
->
+   unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
->
->
+. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
->
+   Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
->
->
+.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
->
+   Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
->
->
+. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
->
->
+. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
->
+    string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
->
+    Firebird driver transliteration, if any.  FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
->
+    earlier versions.
->
->
+. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
->
+    will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
->
+    if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
->
->
+. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
->
+    is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
->
+    the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
->
+    platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
->
+.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
->
+    the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
->
->
+. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
->
+    name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
->
+    Database is connected.
->
->
+. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
->
+    id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.
->
->
+IBX Change Log  version                          (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000
->
->
+. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
->
+   path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
->
+   temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
->
+   prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
->
+   be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
->
->
+. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
->
+     i.   The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
->
+     ii.  If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
->
+          points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
->
+          "bin" directory.
->
+     iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
->
+          is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
->
+          "bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
->
+     iv.  The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
->
+          are searched for the FB Client DLL.
->
+     v.   The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
->
+     vi.  Finally the  PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
->
->
+. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
->
+   See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
->
->
+. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
->
+   simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
->
+   See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
->
+   dynamic columns.
->
->
+. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
->
+   between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.
->
->
+IBX Change Log  version           (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
->
->
+.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
->
->
+. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
->
->
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
->
+   i.e. when it is a calculated field
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
->
+   This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
->
+   determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
->
+   is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
->
+   be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
->
+   calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
->
->
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
->
+   Windows.
->
->
+. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
->
+   These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
->
+   to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
->
->
+. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
->
+   TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
->
->
+. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
->
+   TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
->
+, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
->
->
+   Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
->
+   from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
->
+   implies no truncation.
->
->
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
->
+   (avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
->
+    DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
->
->
+. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
->
->
+. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
->
->
+. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
->
->
+. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.
->
->
+IBX Change Log  version        (1.3-1) Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:30:50 +0100
->
->
+.   OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties
->
->
+.   IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids
->
+     problem with row size when exception is called.
->
->
+.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit.
->
->
+.   IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if
->
+     in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo
->
->
+.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text
->
+     keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed
->
->
+.   Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support
->
+     console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and
->
+     cursor management) centralised in the  IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is
->
+     not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program.
->
+     See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a
->
+     console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your
->
+     application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package.
->
->
+     IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order
->
+     to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is
->
+     included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause.
->
+     This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why
->
+     you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The
->
+     ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs
->
+     to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the
->
+     unit search paths set up correctly.
->
->
+     Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in
->
+     each project's source file (*.lpr).
->
->
+     You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode
->
+     exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This
->
+     adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently
->
+     available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file.
->
->
+         Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode.
->
->
+.   SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines
->
->
+.   IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end
->
+     of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a
->
+     column and then inserting text.
->
->
+.   New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor.
->
->
+. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer
->
+    write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the
->
+    IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write
->
+    of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could
->
+        not be automatically recognised.
->
->
+. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor
->
+    already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical.
->
->
+. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error
->
+    when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the
->
+    table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix.
->
->
+. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead
->
+    of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing
->
+    users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications.
->
->
+IBX Change Log  version  (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
+.  Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
+    empty Params property.
+    in order to remove the property value from the lfm.

->
+IBX Change Log  version  (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
+.  A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
+    rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
+. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
+   using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature.
