53  
54   1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
55     where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
56  
57 + 2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
58 +   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
59 +   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
60 +
61 + 3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
62 +   is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
63 +   compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
64 +
65 + 4. IColumnMetaData: new method.
66 +
67 +   TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
68 +                        dfDateTime,   {SQL DATETIME}
69 +                        dfTime);
70 +
71 +   function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
72 +
73 +   This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
74 +   when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
75 +
76 + 5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
77 +     CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
78 +
79 +   If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
80 +   sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
81 +   sensitive name.
82 +
83 + 6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
84 +   is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
85 +   .AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
86 +   using .AsString.
87 +
88 +
