63 >
64 > 9. IStatement, IColumnMetaData and ISQLParam all now consistently provide:
65 >    function GetStatement: IStatement;
66 >    function GetTransaction: ITransaction;
67 >    function GetAttachment: IAttachment;
68 >
69 > 10. Internal: a more disciplined approach to the handling of Firebird.IReferenceCounted
70 >    interfaces.
71 >
72 > 11. New interface type: IFBNumeric. IFBNumeric is implemented in the unit FBNumeric
73 >    and concentrates all handling of Fixed Point numbers. New ISQLItem and ISQLParam
74 >    functions getAsNumeric and setAsNumeric allow for direct retrival and manipulation
75 >    of numerics without loss of precision.
76 >
77 > 12. TryStrToNumeric and NumericToDouble moved from IBUtils to FBNumeric.
78 >
79 > 13. ISQLParams new method "Clear"
80 >
81 > 14. Connection Info (e.g. ODS Version, Remote Protocol) now retrieved on first
82 >    request rather than on attachment connect.
83 >
84 > 15. IStatus.IBDataBaseErrorMessages now defaults to [ShowIBMessage]. This reflects the
85 >    fact that SQLCodes are soon to be deprecated. In the future, the other options
86 >    will be silently ignored if SQLCode support is not present in the Firebird
87 >    Client library.
88 >

90 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-3 Build 12935) Mon, 06 Dec 2021 23:17:13 +0000
91 >
92 > 1. Fix compile error with fpc trunk (3.3.1 and later), due to type change to tzname in "unix" unit.
93 >
94 > 2. Remove constraint in IAttachment.HasScollableCursors that returned false when
95 >   using remote protocol. Scrollable cursors with remote database expected to
96 >   be support for Firebird 4.0.1 onwards. Note: Firebird 4.0.0 will return
97 >   a not supported error.
98 >
99 > 3. IStatement: new function;
100 >    TStatementFlag = (stHasCursor,stRepeatExecute,stScrollable);
101 >    TStatementFlags = set of TStatementFlag;
102 >    function GetFlags: TStatementFlags;
103 >
104 > 4. Revised behaviour for IStatement.ExecuteQuery in order to preserve backwards
105 >   compatibility.
106 >   In Firebird 5, Update..Returning may returns multiple rows and hence the statemen
107 >   type changes from ExecProcedure to Select. So that ExecuteQuery can continue
108 >   to be used with Update...Retruning statements that return a singleton row,
109 >   instead of raising an exception when ExecuteQuery is used with a (SELECT) statement,
110 >   it will open the cursor and return the first row only.
111 >
112 > 5. ITransaction: new functions:
113 >    function GetIsReadOnly: boolean;
114 >    function GetTransactionID: integer;
115 >    function GetTrInformation(Requests: array of byte): ITrInformation; overload;
116 >    function GetTrInformation(Request: byte): ITrInformation; overload;
117 >
118 >   The latter two return the Transaction Information block. The first two extract
119 >   information the Transaction Information block
120 >
121 > 6. New function TSQLTokeniser.ReadCharacters
122 >   Used internally.
123 >
124 > 7. IStatement: GetProcessedSQL bug fix. No longer raises and error if SQL contains
125 >   parameter placeholders instead of named parameters.
126 >
127 > 8. ITransaction (Firebird 3 and later): An exception raised when freeing an underlying
128 >   transaction handle is now ignored if Rollback/Commit is called with Force=true
129 >
130 > 9. Tidy up of exception handling code. Under the legacy API, fb_interpret is now
131 >   used to get an IBError Message instead of isc_interprete.
132 >
133 > 10. Internal tidyup. Native code now used for decoding integers and the events
134 >    buffer. Avoids dependencies on fbclient functions isc_portable_integer,
135 >    isc_event_block and isc_event_counts.
136 >
137 > 11. New IAttachment function
138 >     function GetAttachmentID: integer;
139 >
140 > 12. Internal changes to TFBClientAPI, TFBAttachment and TFBTransaction and TFB30
141 >    subclasses to enable UDR support.
142 >
143 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-2 Build 12889) Sun, 24 Oct 2021 13:49:28 +0100
144 >
145 > 1. TFBClientAPI.GetProcAddr. Add check for nil reference.
146 >
147 > 2. IStatement: new methods:
148 >    procedure SetStaleReferenceChecks(Enable:boolean); {default true}
149 >    function GetStaleReferenceChecks: boolean;
150 >
151 >   In previous versions, stale reference checks were always enabled. This allows the
152 >   user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date
153 >   statement BLR. See User Guide.
154 >
155 > 3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a
156 >   stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing
157 >   BEGIN..END block.
158 >
159 > 4. ISQLParam: using a string value to set an integer field with a scale factor of
160 >   zero is now treated as a special case to avoid the risk of floating point
161 >   rounding errors affecting pure integers.
162 >
163 > 5. ISQLParam:  Review and tidy-up of SetAsString for numeric types.
164 >
165 > 6. ISQLParam is now subclassed from IParamMetaData, which provides access to the mutable
166 >   SQL Parameter metadata (methods moved from ISQLParam).
167 >
168 > 7. ISQLParam: new method
169 >     function getColMetadata: IParamMetaData;
170 >   This instance of IParamMetaData returns the original column metadata which is unmutable.
171 >   Note: ISQLParam metadata can change after a parameter value has been set e.g when
172 >   setting a VARCHAR column to an integer value.
173 >
174 > 8. IStatement: can now set cursor name when opening a cursor. New overloaded method:
175 >    procedure Prepare(CursorName: AnsiString; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil); overload;
176 >   also IAttachment:
177 >    function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
178 >    function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
179 >    function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString;
180 >                       aSQLDialect: integer; GenerateParamNames: boolean=false;
181 >                       CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
182 >    function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString;
183 >                       GenerateParamNames: boolean=false;
184 >                       CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
185 >
186 > 9. Support for scrollable cursors added. New/updated methods:
187 >   IAttachment:
188 >    function HasScollableCursors: boolean;
189 >    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer;
190 >                             Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
191 >    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
192 >    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean;
193 >                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
194 >    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false;
195 >                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
196 >    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean;
197 >                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
198 >    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer;
199 >                             Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
200 >    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
201 >    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean;
202 >                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
203 >    function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
204 >    function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean;
205 >                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
206 >   IStatement:
207 >     function OpenCursor(Scrollable: boolean; CursorName: AnsiString =''; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IResultSet; overload;
208 >   IResultSet:
209 >    function FetchPrior: boolean; {fetch previous record}
210 >    function FetchFirst:boolean; {fetch first record}
211 >    function FetchLast: boolean; {fetch last record}
212 >    function FetchAbsolute(position: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by its absolute position in result set}
213 >    function FetchRelative(offset: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by position relative to current}
214 >    function IsBof: boolean;
215 >
216 > 10. IArray: tidyup of SetAsString method to ensure correct handling of fixed point numbers.
217 >
218 > 11. IBUtils: TSQLTokeniser. CRLF now combined by low level parser into sqltEOL token. This
219 >    may be noticeable when a line separator occurs inside quoted text. The quoted text
220 >    output by the tokeniser will now use the platform specific lineEnding regardless
221 >    of whether the input uses the CRLF or LF as a line separator.
222 >
223 > 12. IStatement, IResultsSet: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
224 >
225 >
226 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-1 Build 12776) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:09:33 +0100
227 >
228 > 1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers.
229 >
230 > 2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method
231 >   will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are
232 >   shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a
233 >   separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation.
234 >
235 >   The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new
236 >   IAttachment interface functions:
237 >
238 >    function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer;
239 >    procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer);
240 >
241 > 3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API
242 >   user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement
243 >   interface. Three new functions are defined:
244 >
245 >    procedure AddToBatch;
246 >    function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion;
247 >    procedure CancelBatch;
248 >    function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion;
249 >    function GetBatchRowLimit: integer;
250 >    procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer);
251 >
252 >   Also
253 >
254 >    function IsInBatchMode: boolean;        {true after call to execute(eaDefer)}
255 >    function HasBatchMode: boolean;         {true if and only if IBatch Supported}
256 >
257 >   For more information see the User Guide.
258 >
259 > 4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages
260 >   provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts.
261 >
262 > 5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0
263 >
264 > 6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString;
265 >   Returns SQL Statement type as a text string;
266 >
267 > 7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to
268 >   an integer instead of "trunc". This is for compatibility with TFloatField.AsInteger.
269 >
270 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-1 Build 12552) Wed, 09 Jun 2021 13:05:40 +0100
271 >
272 > 1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a
273 >   typo in FB30Statement.pas that caused an unknown parameter error.
274 >
275 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-0 Build 12520) Fri, 19 Feb 2021 13:27:23 +0000
276 >
277 > 1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4.
278 >
279 > 2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree.
280 >
281 > 3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types.
282 >
283 > 4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision.
284 >
285 > 5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider.
286 >   QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The
287 >   interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides
288 >   type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn
289 >   off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster.
290 >
291 > 6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
292 >    function HasLocalTZDB: boolean;
293 >    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
294 >    function HasExtendedTZSupport: boolean;
295 >    procedure SQLDecFloatEncode(aValue: tBCD; SQLType: cardinal; bufptr: PByte);
296 >    function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD;
297 >
298 > 7. New IAttachment Calls:
299 >    function HasDecFloatSupport: boolean;
300 >    function GetTimeZoneServices: ITimeZoneServices;
301 >    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
302 >
303 > 8. New Interface ITimeZoneServices.
304 >
305 > 9. New ISQLData API Calls:
306 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
307 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
308 >    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
309 >    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
310 >    function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
311 >    function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
312 >
313 > 10. New ISQLParam API Calls
314 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
315 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;

325 >    procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
326 >    procedure SetAsUTCDateTime(aUTCTime: TDateTime);
327 >    procedure SetAsBcd(aValue: tBCD);
328 >
329 > 11. New IArray API Calls
330 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
331 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;

338 >    procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
339 >
340 > 12. Utility functions in IBUtils
341 >    function ParseDateTimeTZString(aDateTimeStr: Ansistring; var aDateTime: TDateTime;
342 >              var aTimezone: AnsiString; aFormatSettings: TFormatSettings; TimeOnly: boolean=false): boolean;
343 >    procedure FBDecodeTime(aTime: TDateTime; var Hour, Minute, Second: word; var DeciMillisecond: cardinal);

347 >    function DecodeTimeZoneOffset(TZOffset: AnsiString; var dstOffset: integer): boolean;
348 >
349 > 13. IDPB, ITPB and ISPB: new interface method
350 >      function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem;
351 >    This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its
352 >    symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...'
353 >
354 > 14. IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem: new interface method:
355 >      function getParamTypeName: AnsiString;
356 >
357 > 15. fb_shutdown now called before unloading Firebird library. This can avoid a
358 >     SIGEVENT error when a programme using the embeded server is unloaded.
359 >
360 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-6 Build 12237) Tue, 21 Jul 2020 08:54:21 +0100
361 >
362 > 1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API
363 >   with a Firebrid 3 client library.
364 >
365 > 2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library.
366 >    If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment
367 >    variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory
368 >    are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default
369 >    client library used.
370 >
371 > 3.  IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API
372 >
373 > 4.  Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer.
374 >
375 > 5.  SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is

412 > 1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
413 >   where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
414 >
415 > 2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
416 >   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
417 >   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.

457 >   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
458 >
459 > 4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
460 >   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
461 >
462 > 5. New function added to IB.pas
463 >
464 >   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
465 >
466 >   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
467 >   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using

509   1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
510  
# Line 19 | Line 525 | FBINTF Change Log  version
525        function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
526        function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
527        function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
528 +      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
529  
530     These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
531     require a database lookup.
# Line 36 | Line 543 | FBINTF Change Log  version
543  
544   9. IBUtils code tidy up.
545  
546 + 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
547 +   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
548 +   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
549 +   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
550 +
551 + 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
552 +
553 + 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
554 +    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
555 +    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
556 +    a string with code page CP_NONE.
557 +
558 + 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
559 +    test suite updated.
560 +
561 + 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
562 +    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
563 +
564 + 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
565 +    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
566 +    default connection port to be specified.
