4	>	1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
5	>	and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
6	>	includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
7	>	Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
8	>	For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
9	>
10	>	Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
11	>	over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
12	>	also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
13	>	"WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
14	>	compression to be used.
15	>
16	>	Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
17	>	returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
18	>	ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
19	>
20	>	2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
21	>	is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
22	>	ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
23	>
24	>	3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
25	>	not "INT64".
26	>
27	>	4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
28	>	These are:
29	>	property TimestampFormat: string;
30	>	property DateFormat: string;
31	>	property TimeFormat: string;
32	>
33	>	Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
34	>	DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
35	>	characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
36	>
37	>	If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
38	>	is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
39	>	locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
40	>
41	>	TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
42	>	two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
43	>
44	>	5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
45	>	property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
46	>
47	>	If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
48	>	used to delimit each and every string in the output.
49	>
50	>	6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
51	>	property FieldSeparator: string;
52	>	property HeaderSeparator: string;
53	>
54	>	Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
55	>	in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
56	>
57	>	7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
58	>	TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
59	>	property OnFormatTextString;
60	>
61	>	This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
62	>	in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
63	>	This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
64	>
65	>	8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
66	>	Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
67	>	and without raising and exception if it does not.
68	>
69	>	9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
70	>	consistency with SQL queries.
71	>
72	>	10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
73	>	When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
74	>	TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
75	>
76	>	11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
77	>	an IDE exception.
78	>
79	>	12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
80	>	when the schema source is an sql file.
81	>
82	>	13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
83	>	when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
84	>	initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
85	>	to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
86	>
87	>	14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
88	>	to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
89	>	Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
90	>	when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
91	>
92	>	15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
93	>	are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
94	>	the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
95	>	IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
96	>	completely ignored if this property is true.
97	>
98	>	16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
99	>	to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
100	>	ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
101	>
102	>	17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
103	>	read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
104	>	the same database connection.
105	>
106	>	18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
107	>	if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
108	>	including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
109	>	"Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
110	>	the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
111	>	in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
112	>
113	>	If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
114	>	and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
115	>
116	>	The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
117	>	value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
118	>
119	>	This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
120	>	use at run time.
121	>
122	>	Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
123	>	is unaffected by this change.

126	>
127	>	1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
128	>	IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
129	>	mode apps.
130	>
131	>	2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
132	>	statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
133	>
134	>	3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
135	>	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
136	>
137	>	4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
138	>	as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
139	>
140	>	5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
141	>
142	>	6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
143	>	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
144	>
145	>	7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
146	>	being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
147	>
148	>	8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
149	>	FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
150	>	the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
151	>
152	>	9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
153	>	is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
154	>	services connection.
155	>
156	>	10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
157	>	or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
158	>
159	>	11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
160	>	view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
161	>	TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
162	>	ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
163	>
164	>	12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
165	>	the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
166	>	must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
167	>	this setting.
