->
->
+. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name.
->
->
+. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses.
->
+   The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further
->
+   information). However, this is also a very useful mechanism for returning updated computed by
->
+   column values. Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement
->
+   replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column.
->
->
+   Previously, if a dataset's select query included read only (computed by) fields then
->
+   an automatic row refresh was performed after an insert or update query had been processed,
->
+   irrespective of the setting of the "ForcedUpdates" property. This has changed such
->
+   that an automatic refresh is no longer performed if an insert or update query contains
->
+   a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row
->
+   refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any
->
+   field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update
->
+   returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query.
->
->
+   This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change
->
+   existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability.
->
->
+. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as
->
+   they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in
->
+   updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler
->
+   "OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and
->
+   an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned
->
+   by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and
->
+   perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user,
->
+   the deletion of a row with the returned values.
->
->
+. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for
->
+   any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to
->
+   illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update.
->
->
+. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published.
->
->
+. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List.
->
+   When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to
->
+   be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of
->
+   each Identity column after the insert is executed.
->
->
+. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause.
->
+   Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in
->
+   Insert..Returning clause.
->
->
+. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time
->
+   a new value is generated.
->
->
+. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used.
->
->
+. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System
->
+    Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table.
->
->
+. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field
->
+    values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again
->
+    to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach).
->
->
+. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures.
->
+    * Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and
->
+      which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select
->
+      query).
->
+    * Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2).
->
->
+. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName
->
+    can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is
->
+    expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the
->
+    generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package.
->
->
+. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include
->
+    a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from
->
+    which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package
->
+    stored procedures are listed.
->
->
+. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting
->
+    for password on reconnect.
->
->
+. IBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page
->
+    and character set name.
->
->
+. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise
->
+    DB info lookups"
->
->
+. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers.
->
->
+. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL.
->
->
+. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input
->
+    parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be
->
+    located in the record buffer.
->
->
+. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table
->
+    is a System Table.
->
->
+. FB3UserManager example added to illustrate use if IBX for managing user logins, passwords
->
+    and connections using IBX and with single or multiple security databases.

+IBX Change Log  version                            (2.1-0) Fri, 15 Dec 2017 12:20:11 +0000
+. IBCustomDataset: Minor change of PChar to PByte for compatibility with fbintf
+   changes.
+   screen centre. Previously some were "poDesigned" which may be inappropriate
+   for multi monitor desktops.
-+
+. TIBTreeView.FindNode: protect against error if zero length path or empty tree node.
-+
-+
+. TIBTransaction: On Force Disconnect do not raise an exception when problem ending
-+
+    a transaction and always reset the object.
-+
-+
+. TIBQuery tidyup: remove unnecessary call to GetAffectedRows.
-+
-+
+. TIBXScript: Allow for override of database filename in Create Database statements.
-+
-+
+. IBLocaldb: Support initialisation of the database from an SQL script in addition
-+
+    to a gbak format archive.
-+
-+
+. IBLocaldb: fix problem that stopped the OnSharedDataDir event from being recognised.
-+
-+
+. IBLocaldb: Drop database if error creating an empty database.
-+
-+
+. TIBTreeView: improve performance when selecting node - avoid refreshing dataset
-+
+    unless selected node not in current dataset.
-+
-+
+. IBServices: SetDBParams method moved from TCustomIBLocalDBSupport (in IBLocalDB package)
-+
+    to TIBCustomService, and IBlocalDB code tidy up.
-+
-+
+. IBTreeView: Initialise TIBTreeNode KeyValue to null to avoid unpredictable
-+
+    behaviour due to uninitialised variable.
-+
-+
+. IBServices: Correct encoding of isc_spb_prp_write_mode in TIBConfigService from
-+
+    integer to byte. Ditto isc_spb_prp_reserve_space and isc_spb_prp_access_mode.
-+
-+
+. IBSQL: When Database changed ensure that all resources are freed.
-+
-+
+. IBCustomDataset: When database changed ensure that queries an unprepared.
-+
-+
+. SQL Property Editors now use SynEdit with SQL Highlighter. New features include:
-+
+    * Line Wrap on SQL Token boundaries (on user command)
-+
+    * auto-complete table names in drop down list of table names
-+
+    * Double click on tablename or field name adds to SQL text
-+
-+
+. IBDataOutput: print statistics using float (%f) format instead of decimal (%d).
-+
-+
+. IBTreeView: Call to FindNode: param type change from "array of Variant" to
-+
+    TVariantArray. Seems to avoid memory corruption in Windows (probably a
-+
+    workaround for a problem in fpc 3.0.4 win64).
-+
-+
+. IBDatabaseInfo: Code tidy up. Add check for database not assigned or not open.
-+
-+
+. IBDatabaseInfo: Remove memory leak when accessing database operation counts.
-+
+IBX Change Log  version                   (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000
+. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to
+   that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName
+   not found error.
-+
+. IBUpdate: This is a new IBX component similar to TIBUpdateSQL. It is more general
-+
+   purpose and allows the programmer to define any action they want for Update, Insert
-+
+   or Delete. This may be complex SQL (similar to a Trigger), application specific
-+
+   filtering of updates, or use of statements such as Grant or Revoke instead of
-+
+   normal DML. See User Manual for more information.
-+
+IBX Change Log  version                  (2.0-1) Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:31:49 +0000
+. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events.
