58 >    function GetAttachment: IAttachment;
59 >
60 > 7. Internal: a more disciplined approach to the handling of Firebird.IReferenceCounted
61 >   interfaces.
62 >
63 > 8. New interface type: IFBNumeric. IFBNumeric is implemented in the unit FBNumeric
64 >   and concentrates all handling of Fixed Point numbers. New ISQLItem and ISQLParam
65 >   functions getAsNumeric and setAsNumeric allow for direct retrival and manipulation
66 >   of numerics without loss of precision.
67 >
68 > 9. TryStrToNumeric and NumericToDouble moved from IBUtils to FBNumeric.

73 >
74 > 12. Package layout changed with introduction of udr support. IB*.pas files moved from
75 >    root directory to "client". IBHeader move to "Client".
76 >
77 > 13. Connection Info (e.g. ODS Version, Remote Protocol) now retrieved on first
78 >    request rather than on attachment connect.
79 >
80 >
81 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-3 Build 12935) Mon, 06 Dec 2021 23:17:13 +0000
82 >
83 > 1. Fix compile error with fpc trunk (3.3.1 and later), due to type change to tzname in "unix" unit.
84 >
85 > 2. Remove constraint in IAttachment.HasScollableCursors that returned false when
86 >   using remote protocol. Scrollable cursors with remote database expected to
87 >   be support for Firebird 4.0.1 onwards. Note: Firebird 4.0.0 will return
88 >   a not supported error.
89 >
90 > 3. IStatement: new function;
91 >    TStatementFlag = (stHasCursor,stRepeatExecute,stScrollable);
92 >    TStatementFlags = set of TStatementFlag;
93 >    function GetFlags: TStatementFlags;
94 >
95 > 4. Revised behaviour for IStatement.ExecuteQuery in order to preserve backwards
96 >   compatibility.
97 >   In Firebird 5, Update..Returning may returns multiple rows and hence the statemen
98 >   type changes from ExecProcedure to Select. So that ExecuteQuery can continue
99 >   to be used with Update...Retruning statements that return a singleton row,
100 >   instead of raising an exception when ExecuteQuery is used with a (SELECT) statement,
101 >   it will open the cursor and return the first row only.
102 >
103 > 5. ITransaction: new functions:
104 >    function GetIsReadOnly: boolean;
105 >    function GetTransactionID: integer;
106 >    function GetTrInformation(Requests: array of byte): ITrInformation; overload;
107 >    function GetTrInformation(Request: byte): ITrInformation; overload;
108 >
109 >   The latter two return the Transaction Information block. The first two extract
110 >   information the Transaction Information block
111 >
112 > 6. New function TSQLTokeniser.ReadCharacters
113 >   Used internally.
114 >
115 > 7. IStatement: GetProcessedSQL bug fix. No longer raises and error if SQL contains
116 >   parameter placeholders instead of named parameters.
117 >
118 > 8. ITransaction (Firebird 3 and later): An exception raised when freeing an underlying
119 >   transaction handle is now ignored if Rollback/Commit is called with Force=true
120 >
121 > 9. Tidy up of exception handling code. Under the legacy API, fb_interpret is now
122 >   used to get an IBError Message instead of isc_interprete.
123 >
124 > 10. Internal tidyup. Native code now used for decoding integers and the events
125 >    buffer. Avoids dependencies on fbclient functions isc_portable_integer,
126 >    isc_event_block and isc_event_counts.
127 >
128 > 11. New IAttachment function
129 >     function GetAttachmentID: integer;
130 >
131 > 12. Internal changes to TFBClientAPI, TFBAttachment and TFBTransaction and TFB30
132 >    subclasses to enable UDR support.
133 >
134 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-2 Build 12889) Sun, 24 Oct 2021 13:49:28 +0100
135 >
136 > 1. TFBClientAPI.GetProcAddr. Add check for nil reference.
137 >
138 > 2. IStatement: new methods:
139 >    procedure SetStaleReferenceChecks(Enable:boolean); {default true}
140 >    function GetStaleReferenceChecks: boolean;
141 >
142 >   In previous versions, stale reference checks were always enabled. This allows the
143 >   user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date
144 >   statement BLR. See User Guide.
145 >
146 > 3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a
147 >   stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing
148 >   BEGIN..END block.
149 >
150 > 4. ISQLParam: using a string value to set an integer field with a scale factor of
151 >   zero is now treated as a special case to avoid the risk of floating point
152 >   rounding errors affecting pure integers.
153 >
154 > 5. ISQLParam:  Review and tidy-up of SetAsString for numeric types.
155 >
156 > 6. ISQLParam is now subclassed from IParamMetaData, which provides access to the mutable
157 >   SQL Parameter metadata (methods moved from ISQLParam).
158 >
159 > 7. ISQLParam: new method
160 >     function getColMetadata: IParamMetaData;
161 >   This instance of IParamMetaData returns the original column metadata which is unmutable.
162 >   Note: ISQLParam metadata can change after a parameter value has been set e.g when
163 >   setting a VARCHAR column to an integer value.
164 >
165 > 8. IStatement: can now set cursor name when opening a cursor. New overloaded method:
166 >    procedure Prepare(CursorName: AnsiString; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil); overload;
167 >   also IAttachment:
168 >    function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
169 >    function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
170 >    function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString;
171 >                       aSQLDialect: integer; GenerateParamNames: boolean=false;
172 >                       CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
173 >    function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString;
174 >                       GenerateParamNames: boolean=false;
175 >                       CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
176 >
177 > 9. Support for scrollable cursors added. New/updated methods:
178 >   IAttachment:
179 >    function HasScollableCursors: boolean;
180 >    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer;
181 >                             Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
182 >    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
183 >    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean;
184 >                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
185 >    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false;
186 >                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
187 >    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean;
188 >                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
189 >    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer;
190 >                             Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
191 >    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
192 >    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean;
193 >                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
194 >    function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
195 >    function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean;
196 >                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
197 >   IStatement:
198 >     function OpenCursor(Scrollable: boolean; CursorName: AnsiString =''; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IResultSet; overload;
199 >   IResultSet:
200 >    function FetchPrior: boolean; {fetch previous record}
201 >    function FetchFirst:boolean; {fetch first record}
202 >    function FetchLast: boolean; {fetch last record}
203 >    function FetchAbsolute(position: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by its absolute position in result set}
204 >    function FetchRelative(offset: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by position relative to current}
205 >    function IsBof: boolean;
206 >
207 > 10. IArray: tidyup of SetAsString method to ensure correct handling of fixed point numbers.
208 >
209 > 11. IBUtils: TSQLTokeniser. CRLF now combined by low level parser into sqltEOL token. This
210 >    may be noticeable when a line separator occurs inside quoted text. The quoted text
211 >    output by the tokeniser will now use the platform specific lineEnding regardless
212 >    of whether the input uses the CRLF or LF as a line separator.
213 >
214 > 12. IStatement, IResultsSet: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
215 >
216 >
217 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-1 Build 12776) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:09:33 +0100
218 >
219 > 1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers.
220 >
221 > 2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method
222 >   will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are
223 >   shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a
224 >   separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation.
225 >
226 >   The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new
227 >   IAttachment interface functions:
228 >
229 >    function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer;
230 >    procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer);
231 >
232 > 3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API
233 >   user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement
234 >   interface. Three new functions are defined:
235 >
236 >    procedure AddToBatch;
237 >    function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion;
238 >    procedure CancelBatch;
239 >    function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion;
240 >    function GetBatchRowLimit: integer;
241 >    procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer);
242 >
243 >   Also
244 >
245 >    function IsInBatchMode: boolean;        {true after call to execute(eaDefer)}
246 >    function HasBatchMode: boolean;         {true if and only if IBatch Supported}
247 >
248 >   For more information see the User Guide.
249 >
250 > 4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages
251 >   provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts.
252 >
253 > 5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0
254 >
255 > 6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString;
256 >   Returns SQL Statement type as a text string;
257 >
258 > 7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to
259 >   an integer instead of "trunc". This is for compatibility with TFloatField.AsInteger.
260 >
261 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-1 Build 12552) Wed, 09 Jun 2021 13:05:40 +0100
262 >
263 > 1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a
264 >   typo in FB30Statement.pas that caused an unknown parameter error.
265 >
266 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-0 Build 12520) Fri, 19 Feb 2021 13:27:23 +0000
267 >
268 > 1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4.
269 >
270 > 2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree.
271 >
272 > 3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types.
273 >
274 > 4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision.
275 >
276 > 5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider.
277 >   QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The
278 >   interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides
279 >   type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn
280 >   off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster.
281 >
282 > 6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
283 >    function HasLocalTZDB: boolean;
284 >    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
285 >    function HasExtendedTZSupport: boolean;
286 >    procedure SQLDecFloatEncode(aValue: tBCD; SQLType: cardinal; bufptr: PByte);
287 >    function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD;
288 >
289 > 7. New IAttachment Calls:
290 >    function HasDecFloatSupport: boolean;
291 >    function GetTimeZoneServices: ITimeZoneServices;
292 >    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
293 >
294 > 8. New Interface ITimeZoneServices.
295 >
296 > 9. New ISQLData API Calls:
297 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
298 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
299 >    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
300 >    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
301 >    function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
302 >    function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
303 >
304 > 10. New ISQLParam API Calls
305 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
306 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
307 >    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
308 >    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
309 >    function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
310 >    function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
311 >    function GetStatement: IStatement;
312 >    function GetTransaction: ITransaction;
313 >    procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
314 >    procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
315 >    procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
316 >    procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
317 >    procedure SetAsUTCDateTime(aUTCTime: TDateTime);
318 >    procedure SetAsBcd(aValue: tBCD);
319 >
320 > 11. New IArray API Calls
321 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
322 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
323 >    procedure GetAsTime(index: array of integer; var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;

325 >    function GetAsUTCDateTime(index: array of integer): TDateTime;
326 >    procedure SetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
327 >    procedure SetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
328 >    procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
329 >    procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
330 >
331 > 12. Utility functions in IBUtils
332 >    function ParseDateTimeTZString(aDateTimeStr: Ansistring; var aDateTime: TDateTime;
333 >              var aTimezone: AnsiString; aFormatSettings: TFormatSettings; TimeOnly: boolean=false): boolean;
334 >    procedure FBDecodeTime(aTime: TDateTime; var Hour, Minute, Second: word; var DeciMillisecond: cardinal);
335 >    function FBEncodeTime(Hour, Minute, Second, DeciMillisecond: cardinal): TDateTime;
336 >    function FBFormatDateTime(fmt: AnsiString; aDateTime: TDateTime): AnsiString;
337 >    function FormatTimeZoneOffset(EffectiveTimeOffsetMins: integer): AnsiString;
338 >    function DecodeTimeZoneOffset(TZOffset: AnsiString; var dstOffset: integer): boolean;
339 >
340 > 13. IDPB, ITPB and ISPB: new interface method
341 >      function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem;
342 >    This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its
343 >    symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...'
344 >
345 > 14. IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem: new interface method:
346 >      function getParamTypeName: AnsiString;
347 >
348 > 15. fb_shutdown now called before unloading Firebird library. This can avoid a
349 >     SIGEVENT error when a programme using the embeded server is unloaded.
350 >
351 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-6 Build 12237) Tue, 21 Jul 2020 08:54:21 +0100
352 >
353 > 1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API
354 >   with a Firebrid 3 client library.
355 >
356 > 2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library.
357 >    If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment
358 >    variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory
359 >    are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default
360 >    client library used.
361 >
362 > 3.  IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API
363 >
364 > 4.  Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer.
365 >
366 > 5.  SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is
367 >    returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so
368 >    that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column.
369 >    SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is
370 >    correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic
371 >    trimming of trailing white space.
372 >
373 > 6.  New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
374 >      function GetClientMajor: integer;
375 >      function GetClientMinor: integer;
376 >
377 > 7.  IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method

402 >
403 > 1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
404 >   where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
405 >
406 > 2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
407 >   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
408 >   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
409 >
410 > 3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
411 >   is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
412 >   compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
413 >
414 > 4. IColumnMetaData: new method.
415 >
416 >   TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
417 >                        dfDateTime,   {SQL DATETIME}
418 >                        dfTime);
419 >
420 >   function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
421 >
422 >   This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
423 >   when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
424 >
425 > 5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
426 >     CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
427 >
428 >   If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
429 >   sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
430 >   sensitive name.
431 >
432 > 6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
433 >   is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
434 >   .AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
435 >   using .AsString.

439 > FBINTF Change Log  version                  (1.1-3) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:28:10 +0000
440 >
441 > 1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
442 >
443 > 2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
444 >   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
445 >
446 > 3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
447 >   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
448 >   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
449 >
450 > 4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
451 >   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
452 >
453 > 5. New function added to IB.pas
454 >
455 >   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
456 >
457 >   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
458 >   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
459 >   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
460 >   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.
461 >
462 > FBINTF Change Log  version               (1.1-2) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:30:32 +0100
463 >
464 > 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
465 >   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
466 >
467 > 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
468 >    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
469 >    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
470 >
471 > 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
472 >    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
473 >    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
474 >    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
475 >
476 > 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
477 >    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
478 >
479 > 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
480 >   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
481 >   up to the last fetch.
482 >
483 > 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
484 >   the problem.
485 >
486 > 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
487 >   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
488 >
489 > 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
490 >
491 > 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
492 >
493 > 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
494 >
495 > 13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.
496 >
497 >
498 > FBINTF Change Log  version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
499 >
500 > 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
501 >
502 > 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
503 >     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
504 >     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
505 >
506 >   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
507 >   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
508 >   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
509 >   require a database lookup.
510 >
511 > 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
512 >
513 > 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
514 >
515 > 5. IAttachment: add
516 >      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
517 >      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
518 >      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
519 >      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
520 >
521 >   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
522 >   require a database lookup.
523 >
524 > 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
525 >   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
526 >
527 > 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
528 >   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
529 >   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
530 >   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
531 >   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
532 >
533 > 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
534 >
535 > 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
536 >
537 > 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
538 >   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
539 >   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
540 >   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
541 >
542 > 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
543 >
544 > 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
545 >    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
546 >    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
547 >    a string with code page CP_NONE.
548 >
549 > 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
550 >    test suite updated.
551 >
552 > 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
553 >    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
554 >
555 > 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
556 >    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
557 >    default connection port to be specified.
558 >
559 > FBINTF Change Log  version                             (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
560 >
561 > 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
562 >   Scale is no longer ignored.
563 >
564 > 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
565 >   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
566 >   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
567 >   to Firebird as Text Strings.
568 >
569 > 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
570 >   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
571 >
572 > 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
573 >   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
574 >   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
575 >   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
576 >
577 > 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
578 >   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
579 >   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
580 >   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
581 >
582 > 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
583 >   set supported by Firebird with the API.
584 >
585 > 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
586 >   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
587 >
588 > 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
589 >
590 > 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
591 >   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
592 >   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
593 >   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
594 >
595 > 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
596 >
597 > 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
598 >
599 > 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
600 >
601 > 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
602 >    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
603 >    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
604 >    an SQLDA error.
605 >
606 > 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
607 >
608 > 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
609 >    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
610 >
611 > 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
612 >    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
613 >

615 > FBINTF Change Log  version             (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
616 >
617 > 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
618 >
619 > 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
620 >   compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
621 >
622 > 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
623 >   defined for each interface.
624 >
625 > 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
626 >
627 > 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
628 >   where PAnsiChar is used instead.
629 >
630 > 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
631 >
632 > 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
633 >
