9	>	IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
10	>	all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
11	>
12	>	The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
13	>	IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
14	>	to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
15	>	to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
16	>	Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
17	>	packages.
18	>
19	>	1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
20	>	the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
21	>	use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
22	>	more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
23	>	As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
24	>	provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
25	>	using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
26	>
27	>	2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
28	>	finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
29	>	not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
30	>	new set of IBX packages.
31	>
32	>	3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
33	>	updated to use the new Services API components.
34	>
35	>	4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
36	>
37	>	5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
38	>	TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
39	>	as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
40	>	correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
41	>	the setting has moved to the mappings page.
42	>
43	>	6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
44	>	are ignored.
45	>
46	>	7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
47	>	closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
48	>	are also fired.
49	>
50	>	8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
51	>	is started and not just the first time.
52	>
53	>	9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
54	>	depenendency with comp type.
55	>
56	>	10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
57	>
58	>	11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
59	>	then this is recognised and not ignored.
60	>
61	>	12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
62	>	function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
63	>	function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
64	>	property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
65	>
66	>	GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
67	>	if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
68	>	counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
69	>	the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
70	>	and then GetPerfStatistics.
71	>
72	>	See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
73	>
74	>	13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
75	>	in parenthesises.
76	>
77	>	14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
78	>	SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
79	>	only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
80	>	characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
81	>
82	>	15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
83	>	are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
84	>
85	>	16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
86	>	property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
87	>
88	>	When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
89	>	through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
90	>	then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
91	>	row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
92	>	is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
93	>	to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
94	>
95	>	Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
96	>	chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
97	>	to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
98	>
99	>	17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
100	>	with Extract Option eoDatabase.
101	>
102	>	18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
103	>	When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
104	>	combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
105	>	relationship with the control's datasource (master).
106	>
107	>	19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
108	>
109	>	20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
110	>	stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
111	>
112	>	21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
113	>	DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
114	>
115	>	22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
116	>	i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
117	>	ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
118	>	iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
119	>	iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
120	>	before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
121	>	no DataSource assigned.
122	>
123	>	23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
124	>	between SQL statements.
125	>
126	>	24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
127	>	ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
128	>	names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
129	>	double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
130	>	against the metadata object name.
131	>
132	>	If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
133	>	against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
134	>
135	>	25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
136	>	with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
137	>	or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
138	>
139	>	26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
140	>	statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
141	>
142	>	27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
143	>
144	>	28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
145	>	a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
146	>	is executed.
147	>
148	>	29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
149	>
150	>	30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
151	>	converting statement to upper case.
152	>
153	>	31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
154	>	IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
155	>	in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
156	>	ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
157	>
158	>	32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
159	>
160	>	33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
161	>	types.

276		26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local
277		databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory
278	<	(including trailing delimiter) or to a directory a prescribed data directory (including
278	>	(including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including
279		trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory
280		in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned
281		from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'.
282		Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed
283		above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be
