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 > 6. Property editor will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System
21 >   Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table.
22 >
23 > 7. Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause.
24 >   Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in
25 >   Insert..Returning clause.
26 >
27 > 8. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field
28 >   values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again
29 >   the TDateTime (the TDataset approach).
30 >

32 >
33 > 1. IBCustomDataset: Minor change of PChar to PByte for compatibility with fbintf
34 >   changes.
35 >
36 > 2. IBCustomDataset: Fixed use of incorrect datasize in TIBStringField.SetAsString.
37 >   Bug could result in truncated multi-byte character set values.
38 >
39 > 3. Changes consequential on moving fbintf character set utility functions from
40 >   IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment.
41 >
42 > 4. Avoid "Object is nil" error when opening a database with DefaultSystemCodePage = true
43 >
44 > 5. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition when autocompleting text that occasionally
45 >   results in autocomplete ignoring prefix text.
46 >
47 > 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that cursor is not reset to start of text when
48 >   entering a new name into the text box.
49 >
50 > 7. IBCustomDataset: ensure that TIBStringField uses the field size reported by
51 >   Firebird rather than recomputing it.
52 >
53 > 8. Property Editor positioning tidy up: All IBX Property editors should now be
54 >   screen centre. Previously some were "poDesigned" which may be inappropriate
55 >   for multi monitor desktops.
56 >
57 > 10. TIBTreeView.FindNode: protect against error if zero length path or empty tree node.
58 >
59 > 11. TIBTransaction: On Force Disconnect do not raise an exception when problem ending
60 >    a transaction and always reset the object.
61 >
62 > 12. TIBQuery tidyup: remove unnecessary call to GetAffectedRows.
63 >
64 > 13. TIBXScript: Allow for override of database filename in Create Database statements.
65 >
66 > 14. IBLocaldb: Support initialisation of the database from an SQL script in addition
67 >    to a gbak format archive.
68 >
69 > 15. IBLocaldb: fix problem that stopped the OnSharedDataDir event from being recognised.
70 >
71 > 16. IBLocaldb: Drop database if error creating an empty database.
72 >
73 > 17. TIBTreeView: improve performance when selecting node - avoid refreshing dataset
74 >    unless selected node not in current dataset.
75 >
76 > 18. IBServices: SetDBParams method moved from TCustomIBLocalDBSupport (in IBLocalDB package)
77 >    to TIBCustomService, and IBlocalDB code tidy up.
78 >
79 > 19. IBTreeView: Initialise TIBTreeNode KeyValue to null to avoid unpredictable
80 >    behaviour due to uninitialised variable.
81 >
82 > 20. IBServices: Correct encoding of isc_spb_prp_write_mode in TIBConfigService from
83 >    integer to byte. Ditto isc_spb_prp_reserve_space and isc_spb_prp_access_mode.
84 >
85 > 21. IBSQL: When Database changed ensure that all resources are freed.
86 >
87 > 22. IBCustomDataset: When database changed ensure that queries an unprepared.
88 >
89 > 23. SQL Property Editors now use SynEdit with SQL Highlighter. New features include:
90 >    * Line Wrap on SQL Token boundaries (on user command)
91 >    * auto-complete table names in drop down list of table names
92 >    * Double click on tablename or field name adds to SQL text
93 >
94 > 24. IBDataOutput: print statistics using float (%f) format instead of decimal (%d).
95 >
96 > 25. IBTreeView: Call to FindNode: param type change from "array of Variant" to
97 >    TVariantArray. Seems to avoid memory corruption in Windows (probably a
98 >    workaround for a problem in fpc 3.0.4 win64).
99 >
100 > 26. IBDatabaseInfo: Code tidy up. Add check for database not assigned or not open.
101 >
102 > 27. IBDatabaseInfo: Remove memory leak when accessing database operation counts.
103 >
104 > IBX Change Log  version                   (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000
105 >
106 > 1. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to
107 >   include remote system name.
108 >
109 > 2. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty
110 >   tables when data included in output.
111 >
112 > 3. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance
113 >   and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate
114 >   performance bottlenecks.
115 >
116 > 4. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different.
117 >
118 > 5. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit
119 >
120 > 6. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures
121 >   that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName
122 >   not found error.
123 >
124 > 7. IBUpdate: This is a new IBX component similar to TIBUpdateSQL. It is more general
125 >   purpose and allows the programmer to define any action they want for Update, Insert
126 >   or Delete. This may be complex SQL (similar to a Trigger), application specific
127 >   filtering of updates, or use of statements such as Grant or Revoke instead of
128 >   normal DML. See User Manual for more information.
129 >
130 > IBX Change Log  version                  (2.0-1) Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:31:49 +0000
131 >
132 > 1. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events.
133 >
134 > 2. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege.
135 >
136 > 3. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using
137 >   hexadecimal notation.
138 >
139 > 4. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements
140 >   using a simple XML format.
141 >
142 > 5. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include
143 >   grants to these objects.
144 >
145 > 6. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid
146 >   dependency problems restoring complex databases.
147 >
148 > 7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of
149 >   embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition
150 >   to non-interactive data sources such as files.
151 >
152 > 8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported.
153 >
154 > 9. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported:
155 >   SET SQL DIALECT
156 >   SET TERM
157 >   SET AUTODDL
158 >   SET BAIL
159 >   SET ECHO
160 >   SET COUNT
161 >   SET STATS
162 >   SET NAMES <character set>
163 >
164 > 10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information.
165 >
166 > 11. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments.,
167 >    and domain definitions.
168 >
169 > 12. TIBExtract: Triggers now use SQL2003 syntax and database and transaction triggers
170 >    fully supported.
171 >
172 > 13. TIBExtract: when a database dump includes data, the generator values are now also set.
173 >
174 > 14: IBSQLEdit: Unit LCLPlatformDef added to uses clauses for lazarus 1.7 and later.
175 >

177 >
178 > See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on
179 > upgrading to IBX2.
180 >
181 > 1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field
182 >   and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such
183 >   as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField
184 >   code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour.
185 >   The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0.
186 >
187 > 2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When
188 >   true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is
189 >   always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear
190 >   why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false.
191 >
192 > 3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure
193 >   block.
194 >
195 > 4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not
196 >   exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt
197 >   is made to create the database.
198 >
199 > 5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database
200 >   has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when
201 >   creating a database after it was found not to exist.
202 >
203 > 6.  DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being
204 >    written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message
205 >    loop before rendering the row image.
206 >
207 > 7.  DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for
208 >    a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is
209 >    known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first
210 >    displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening
211 >    of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created.
212 >
213 > 8.  DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with
214 >    a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel.
215 >
216 > 9.  TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes.
217 >
218 > 10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows.
219 >
220 > 11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade.
221 >
222 > IBX Change Log  version                                           (1.4-3) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:15 +0100
223 >
224 > 1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration
225 >   when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for
226 >   http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622.
227 >
228 > 2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server
229 >   since Firebird 1.5.
230 >
231 > 3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or
232 >   similar.
233 >
234 > 4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id.
235 >
236 > 5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in
237 >   Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16.
238 >
239 > 6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8
240 >   regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
241 >   is for compatibility with the LCL.
242 >

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