2 >
3 > 1. TFBClientAPI.GetProcAddr. Add check for nil reference.
4 >
5 > 2. IStatement: new methods:
6 >    procedure SetStaleReferenceChecks(Enable:boolean); {default true}
7 >    function GetStaleReferenceChecks: boolean;
8 >
9 >   In previous versions, stale reference checks were always enabled. This allows the
10 >   user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date
11 >   statement BLR. See User Guide.
12 >
13 > 3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a
14 >   stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing
15 >   BEGIN..END block.
16 >

18 >
19 > 1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers.
20 >
21 > 2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method
22 >   will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are
23 >   shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a
24 >   separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation.
25 >
26 >   The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new
27 >   IAttachment interface functions:
28 >
29 >    function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer;
30 >    procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer);
31 >
32 > 3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API
33 >   user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement
34 >   interface. Three new functions are defined:
35 >
36 >    procedure AddToBatch;
37 >    function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion;
38 >    procedure CancelBatch;
39 >    function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion;
40 >    function GetBatchRowLimit: integer;
41 >    procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer);
42 >
43 >   Also
44 >
45 >    function IsInBatchMode: boolean;        {true after call to execute(eaDefer)}
46 >    function HasBatchMode: boolean;         {true if and only if IBatch Supported}
47 >
48 >   For more information see the User Guide.
49 >
50 > 4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages
51 >   provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts.
52 >
53 > 5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0
54 >
55 > 6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString;
56 >   Returns SQL Statement type as a text string;
57 >
58 > 7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to
59 >   an integer instead of "trunc". This is for compatibility with TFloatField.AsInteger.
60 >
61 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-1 Build 12552) Wed, 09 Jun 2021 13:05:40 +0100
62 >
63 > 1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a
64 >   typo in FB30Statement.pas that caused an unknown parameter error.
65 >
66 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-0 Build 12520) Fri, 19 Feb 2021 13:27:23 +0000
67 >
68 > 1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4.
69 >
70 > 2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree.
71 >
72 > 3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types.
73 >
74 > 4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision.
75 >
76 > 5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider.
77 >   QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The
78 >   interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides
79 >   type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn
80 >   off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster.
81 >
82 > 6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
83 >    function HasLocalTZDB: boolean;
84 >    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
85 >    function HasExtendedTZSupport: boolean;
86 >    procedure SQLDecFloatEncode(aValue: tBCD; SQLType: cardinal; bufptr: PByte);
87 >    function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD;
88 >
89 > 7. New IAttachment Calls:
90 >    function HasDecFloatSupport: boolean;
91 >    function GetTimeZoneServices: ITimeZoneServices;
92 >    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
93 >
94 > 8. New Interface ITimeZoneServices.
95 >
96 > 9. New ISQLData API Calls:
97 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
98 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
99 >    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
100 >    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
101 >    function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
102 >    function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
