1 + IBX Change Log  version                                  (2.1-1) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:15:13 +0000
2 +
3 + 1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add addition check for null column for generator name.
4 +
5 + 2. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses.
6 +   The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further
7 +   information). Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement
8 +   replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column.
9 +
10 + 3. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List.
11 +   When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to
12 +   be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of
13 +   each Identity column after the insert is executed.
14 +
15 + 4. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time
16 +   a new number is generated.
17 +
18 + 5. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed.
19 +
20 + IBX Change Log  version                            (2.1-0) Fri, 15 Dec 2017 12:20:11 +0000
21 +
22 + 1. IBCustomDataset: Minor change of PChar to PByte for compatibility with fbintf
23 +   changes.
24 +
25 + 2. IBCustomDataset: Fixed use of incorrect datasize in TIBStringField.SetAsString.
26 +   Bug could result in truncated multi-byte character set values.
27 +
28 + 3. Changes consequential on moving fbintf character set utility functions from
29 +   IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment.
30 +
31 + 4. Avoid "Object is nil" error when opening a database with DefaultSystemCodePage = true
32 +
33 + 5. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition when autocompleting text that occasionally
34 +   results in autocomplete ignoring prefix text.
35 +
36 + 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that cursor is not reset to start of text when
37 +   entering a new name into the text box.
38 +
39 + 7. IBCustomDataset: ensure that TIBStringField uses the field size reported by
40 +   Firebird rather than recomputing it.
41 +
42 + 8. Property Editor positioning tidy up: All IBX Property editors should now be
43 +   screen centre. Previously some were "poDesigned" which may be inappropriate
44 +   for multi monitor desktops.
45 +
46 + 10. TIBTreeView.FindNode: protect against error if zero length path or empty tree node.
47 +
48 + 11. TIBTransaction: On Force Disconnect do not raise an exception when problem ending
49 +    a transaction and always reset the object.
50 +
51 + 12. TIBQuery tidyup: remove unnecessary call to GetAffectedRows.
52 +
53 + 13. TIBXScript: Allow for override of database filename in Create Database statements.
54 +
55 + 14. IBLocaldb: Support initialisation of the database from an SQL script in addition
56 +    to a gbak format archive.
57 +
58 + 15. IBLocaldb: fix problem that stopped the OnSharedDataDir event from being recognised.
59 +
60 + 16. IBLocaldb: Drop database if error creating an empty database.
61 +
62 + 17. TIBTreeView: improve performance when selecting node - avoid refreshing dataset
63 +    unless selected node not in current dataset.
64 +
65 + 18. IBServices: SetDBParams method moved from TCustomIBLocalDBSupport (in IBLocalDB package)
66 +    to TIBCustomService, and IBlocalDB code tidy up.
67 +
68 + 19. IBTreeView: Initialise TIBTreeNode KeyValue to null to avoid unpredictable
69 +    behaviour due to uninitialised variable.
70 +
71 + 20. IBServices: Correct encoding of isc_spb_prp_write_mode in TIBConfigService from
72 +    integer to byte. Ditto isc_spb_prp_reserve_space and isc_spb_prp_access_mode.
73 +
74 + 21. IBSQL: When Database changed ensure that all resources are freed.
75 +
76 + 22. IBCustomDataset: When database changed ensure that queries an unprepared.
77 +
78 + 23. SQL Property Editors now use SynEdit with SQL Highlighter. New features include:
79 +    * Line Wrap on SQL Token boundaries (on user command)
80 +    * auto-complete table names in drop down list of table names
81 +    * Double click on tablename or field name adds to SQL text
82 +
83 + 24. IBDataOutput: print statistics using float (%f) format instead of decimal (%d).
84 +
85 + 25. IBTreeView: Call to FindNode: param type change from "array of Variant" to
86 +    TVariantArray. Seems to avoid memory corruption in Windows (probably a
87 +    workaround for a problem in fpc 3.0.4 win64).
88 +
89 + 26. IBDatabaseInfo: Code tidy up. Add check for database not assigned or not open.
90 +
91 + 27. IBDatabaseInfo: Remove memory leak when accessing database operation counts.
92 +
93 + IBX Change Log  version                   (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000
94 +
95 + 1. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to
96 +   include remote system name.
97 +
98 + 2. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty
99 +   tables when data included in output.
100 +
101 + 3. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance
102 +   and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate
103 +   performance bottlenecks.
104 +
105 + 4. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different.
106 +
107 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit
108 +
109 + 6. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures
110 +   that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName
111 +   not found error.
112 +
113 + 7. IBUpdate: This is a new IBX component similar to TIBUpdateSQL. It is more general
114 +   purpose and allows the programmer to define any action they want for Update, Insert
115 +   or Delete. This may be complex SQL (similar to a Trigger), application specific
116 +   filtering of updates, or use of statements such as Grant or Revoke instead of
117 +   normal DML. See User Manual for more information.
118 +
119 + IBX Change Log  version                  (2.0-1) Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:31:49 +0000
120 +
121 + 1. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events.
122 +
123 + 2. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege.
124 +
125 + 3. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using
126 +   hexadecimal notation.
127 +
128 + 4. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements
129 +   using a simple XML format.
130 +
131 + 5. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include
132 +   grants to these objects.
133 +
134 + 6. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid
135 +   dependency problems restoring complex databases.
136 +
137 + 7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of
138 +   embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition
139 +   to non-interactive data sources such as files.
140 +
141 + 8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported.
142 +
143 + 9. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported:
144 +   SET SQL DIALECT
145 +   SET TERM
146 +   SET AUTODDL
147 +   SET BAIL
148 +   SET ECHO
149 +   SET COUNT
150 +   SET STATS
151 +   SET NAMES <character set>
152 +
153 + 10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information.
154 +
155 + 11. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments.,
156 +    and domain definitions.
157 +
158 + 12. TIBExtract: Triggers now use SQL2003 syntax and database and transaction triggers
159 +    fully supported.
160 +
161 + 13. TIBExtract: when a database dump includes data, the generator values are now also set.
162 +
163 + 14: IBSQLEdit: Unit LCLPlatformDef added to uses clauses for lazarus 1.7 and later.
164 +
165 + IBX Change Log  version     (2.0-0) Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:33:44 +0000
166 +
167 + See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on
168 + upgrading to IBX2.
169 +
170 + 1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field
171 +   and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such
172 +   as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField
173 +   code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour.
174 +   The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0.
175 +
176 + 2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When
177 +   true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is
178 +   always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear
179 +   why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false.
180 +
181 + 3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure
182 +   block.
183 +
184 + 4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not
185 +   exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt
186 +   is made to create the database.
187 +
188 + 5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database
189 +   has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when
190 +   creating a database after it was found not to exist.
191 +
192 + 6.  DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being
193 +    written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message
194 +    loop before rendering the row image.
195 +
196 + 7.  DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for
197 +    a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is
198 +    known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first
199 +    displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening
200 +    of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created.
201 +
202 + 8.  DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with
203 +    a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel.
204 +
205 + 9.  TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes.
206 +
207 + 10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows.
208 +
209 + 11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade.

213   1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration

229     regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
230     is for compatibility with the LCL.

233  
234   1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
235     read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
