+IBX Change Log  version                                             (2.2-0) Tue, 23 Jan 2018 11:23:09 +0000
->
+IBX Change Log  version (2.3-3 Build 11348) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000
->
->
+. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
->
+   and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
->
+   includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
->
+   Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
->
+   For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
->
->
+   Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
->
+   over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
->
+   also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
->
+   "WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
->
+   compression to be used.
->
->
+   Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
->
+   returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
->
+   ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
->
->
+. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
->
+   is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
->
+   ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
->
->
+. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
->
+   not "INT64".
->
->
+. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
->
+   These are:
->
+    property TimestampFormat: string;
->
+    property DateFormat: string;
->
+    property TimeFormat: string;
->
->
+   Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
->
+   DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
->
+   characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
->
->
+   If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
->
+   is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
->
+   locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
->
->
+   TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
->
+   two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
->
->
+. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
->
+     property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
->
->
+   If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
->
+   used to delimit each and every string in the output.
->
->
+. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
->
+    property FieldSeparator: string;
->
+    property HeaderSeparator: string;
->
->
+   Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
->
+   in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
->
->
+. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
->
+    TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
->
+    property OnFormatTextString;
->
->
+   This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
->
+   in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
->
+   This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
->
->
+. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
->
->
+. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
->
+   consistency with SQL queries.
->
->
+. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
->
+    When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
->
+    TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
->
->
+. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
->
+    an IDE exception.
->
->
+IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
->
->
+. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
->
+   IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
->
+   mode apps.
->
->
+. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
->
+   statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
->
->
+. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
->
+   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
->
->
+. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
->
+   as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
->
->
+. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
->
->
+. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
->
+   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
->
->
+.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
->
+    being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
->
->
+. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
->
+   FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
->
+   the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
->
->
+. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
->
+   is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
->
+   services connection.
->
->
+.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
->
+   or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
->
->
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
->
+    view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
->
+    TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
->
+    ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
->
->
+. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
->
+    the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
->
+    must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
->
+    this setting.
->
->
+IBX Change Log  version                 (2.3-1) Thu, 25 Oct 2018 14:39:45 +0100
->
->
+. IBCustomDataset: replace deprecated function ValidUTF8String with call to
->
+   Utf8EscapeControlChars
->
->
+IBX Change Log  version                (2.3-0) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:48:06 +0100
->
->
+IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
->
+all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
->
->
+The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
->
+IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
->
+to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
->
+to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
->
+Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
->
+packages.
->
->
+. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
->
+   the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
->
+   use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
->
+   more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
->
+   As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
->
+   provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
->
+   using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
->
->
+. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
->
+   finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
->
+   not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
->
+   new set of IBX packages.
->
->
+. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
->
+   updated to use the new Services API components.
->
->
+. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
->
->
+. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
->
+   TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
->
+   as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
->
+   correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
->
+   the setting has moved to the mappings page.
->
->
+. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
->
+   are ignored.
->
->
+. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
->
+   closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
->
+   are also fired.
->
->
+. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
->
+   is started and not just the first time.
->
->
+. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
->
+   depenendency with comp type.
->
->
+. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
->
->
+. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
->
+    then this is recognised and not ignored.
->
->
+. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
->
+    function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
->
+    function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
->
+    property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
->
->
+    GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
->
+    if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
->
+    counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
->
+    the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
->
+    and then GetPerfStatistics.
->
->
+    See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
->
->
+. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
->
+    in parenthesises.
->
->
+. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
->
+    SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
->
+    only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
->
+    characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
->
->
+. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
->
+    are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
->
->
+. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
->
+       property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
->
->
+    When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
->
+    through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
->
+    then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
->
+    row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
->
+    is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
->
+    to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
->
->
+    Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
->
+    chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
->
+    to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
->
->
+. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
->
+    with Extract Option eoDatabase.
->
->
+. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
->
+    When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
->
+    combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
->
+    relationship with the control's datasource (master).
->
->
+. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
->
->
+. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
->
+    stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
->
->
+. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
->
+    DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
->
->
+. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
->
+    i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
->
+    ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
->
+    iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
->
+    iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
->
+        before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
->
+        no DataSource assigned.
->
->
+. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
->
+    between SQL statements.
->
->
+. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
->
+    ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
->
+    names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
->
+    double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
->
+    against the metadata object name.
->
->
+    If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
->
+    against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
->
->
+. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
->
+    with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
->
+    or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
->
->
+. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
->
+    statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
->
->
+. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
->
->
+. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
->
+    a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
->
+    is executed.
->
->
+. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
->
->
+. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
->
+    converting statement to upper case.
->
->
+. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
->
+    IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
->
+    in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
->
+    ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
->
->
+. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
->
->
+. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
->
+    types.

+IBX Change Log  version  (2.2-0) Wed, 28 Feb 2018 10:57:45 +0000
->
->
+NOTE: THE LOCATIONS OF SOME OF THE UNIT DIRECTORIES HAS CHANGED FROM IBX 2.1. THIS IS TO
->
+AVOID DUPLICATE PPU WARNINGS. PLEASE REMOVE EARLIER VERSIONS OF IBX BEFORE INSTALLING THIS
->
+RELEASE.
->
->
+NOTE: THE DBADMIN DEMO REQUIRES THAT THE MemDSLaz PACKAGE IS INSTALLED IN THE LAZARUS IDE.
+. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name.
+. 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
->
+. TIBDatabase: 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.
->
+. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects.
+. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL.
+    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.
-+
-+
+. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception.
-+
+    This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query.
-+
-+
+. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to
-+
+    add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using
-+
+    an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a
-+
+    database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db".
-+
-+
+. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout.
-+
+    This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local
-+
+    databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory
-+
+    (including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including
-+
+    trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory
-+
+    in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned
-+
+    from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'.
-+
+    Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed
-+
+    above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be
-+
+    used to improve application portability for Personal Databases.
-+
-+
+. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef
-+
+    this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be
-+
+    managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields
-+
+    editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor
-+
+    is then displayed.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabaseInfo: new properties/function
-+
+     * DateDBCreated (returns date/time database created)
-+
+     * TransactionCount (returns no. of active transactions)
-+
+     * GetDatabasePage(PageNo: integer) (returns contents of specified database page - SYSDBA only).
-+
+     * PagesFree (Firebird 3 or later)
-+
+     * PagesUsed (Firebird 3 or later)
-+
+     * Encrypted (returns true if database encrypted. (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only)
-+
+     * EncryptionKeyName (returns the name of the encryption key if any (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only)
-+
-+
+. IBServices classes now provided the decoded release number in the (array) property ServerVersionNo.
-+
-+
+. TIBSecurityService now supports display/modification of the User Admin Role (Firebird 2.5 and later).
-+
-+
+. TIBConfigService now has a procedure SetAutoAdmin(Value: boolean) to enable/disable
-+
+    the automtic mapping of privileged OS users to the RDB$ADMIN role (Firebird 2.5 and later).
-+
-+
+. TIBBackupService: New Option - NoDBTriggers equivalent to -nodbtriggers switch introduced
-+
+    in the gbak utility at V.2.1 to prevent database-level and transaction-level triggers from
-+
+    firing during backup and restore.
-+
-+
+. Both TIBBackupService and TIBRestoreService now support backup/restore statistics options
-+
+    for verbose output using the new property "StatisticsRequested".
-+
+    see https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-util-gbak.html#rnfb25-util-gbakstats
-+
-+
+. TIBRestoreService: now supports new options RestoreMetaDataOnly (Firebird 2.5 and later).
-+
-+
+. TIBOnlineValidationService component added to the IBServices and the "Firebird Admin"
-+
+    palette. This uses the online validation feature added in Firebird 2.5. The
-+
+    services's properties enable inclusion/exclusion of tables and indexes using
-+
+    regular expressions. See.
-+
+    https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-apiods-api.html#rnfb25-apiods-api-onlinevalidation
-+
-+
+. IBServices: procedure TIBConfigService.SetNoLinger added to set no linger
-+
+    option on a database.
-+
-+
+. TIBCustomService: Assign method implemented to allow copying of service login
-+
+    context between service API components. "Detach" method now only detaches
-+
+    service when last reference to the service interface detaches. Tidy up of
-+
+    code for SetActive and Attach methods including password hiding.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: new properties: AuthenticationMethod and RemoteProtocol. Read only
-+
+    and used to determine the auth method and protocol used for the connection.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: ensure that SQLDialect setting is used when creating a database using
-+
+    a Create Database Statement generated by IBX.
-+
-+
+. All IBServices now have an additional published property "PortNo". This may
-+
+    be set to a non-standard port number when necessary. If zero then the default
-+
+    port number is used.
-+
-+
+: TIBLookupComboeditBox: Ensure dataset updated when change selected with the keyboard
-+
+    and not just the mouse.
-+
-+
+. TIBCustomDataset: reopen query if already active when a TIBControlLink is added.
-+
-+
+. TIBTreeview: new ImageIndexField and SelectedIndexField Property allows the
-+
+    image index and selected image index for each node to be set from a database field.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: new extract type (etGrantsToUser) for use with eoDatabase. If included
-+
+    then database schema includes grants to all users. If not present then the
-+
+    only user grants included are those to User PUBLIC.
-+
-+
+. TIBTreeView: performance improvement. When expanding include both expanded node
-+
+    and child nodes in dataset.
