85 > 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.

104   1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
105     Scale is no longer ignored.
# Line 8 | Line 109 | FBINTF Change Log  version             (
109     cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
110     to Firebird as Text Strings.
111  
112 + 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
113 +   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
114 +
115 + 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
116 +   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
117 +   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
118 +   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
119 +
120 + 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
121 +   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
122 +   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
123 +   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
124 +
125 + 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
126 +   set supported by Firebird with the API.
127 +
128 + 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
129 +   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
130 +
131 + 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
132 +
133 + 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
134 +   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
135 +   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
136 +   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
137 +
138 + 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
139 +
140 + 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
141 +
142 + 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
143 +
144 + 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
145 +    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
146 +    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
147 +    an SQLDA error.
148 +
149 + 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
150 +
151 + 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
152 +    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
153 +
154 + 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
155 +    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
156 +
