3	>	1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
4	>	and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
5	>	includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
6	>	Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
7	>	For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
8	>
9	>	Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
10	>	over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
11	>	also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
12	>	"WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
13	>	compression to be used.
14	>
15	>	Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
16	>	returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
17	>	ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
18	>
19	>	2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
20	>	is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
21	>	ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
22	>
23	>	3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
24	>	not "INT64".
25	>
26	>	4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
27	>	These are:
28	>	property TimestampFormat: string;
29	>	property DateFormat: string;
30	>	property TimeFormat: string;
31	>
32	>	Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
33	>	DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
34	>	characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
35	>
36	>	If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
37	>	is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
38	>	locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
39	>
40	>	TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
41	>	two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
42	>
43	>	5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
44	>	property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
45	>
46	>	If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
47	>	used to delimit each and every string in the output.
48	>
49	>	6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
50	>	property FieldSeparator: string;
51	>	property HeaderSeparator: string;
52	>
53	>	Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
54	>	in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
55	>
56	>	7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
57	>	TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
58	>	property OnFormatTextString;
59	>
60	>	This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
61	>	in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
62	>	This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
63	>
64	>	8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
65	>
66	>	9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
67	>	consistency with SQL queries.
68	>
69	>	10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
70	>	When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
71	>	TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
72	>
73	>	11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
74	>	an IDE exception.
75	>
76	>	IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
77	>
78	>	1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
79	>	IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
80	>	mode apps.
81	>
82	>	2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
83	>	statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
84	>
85	>	3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
86	>	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
87	>
88	>	4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
89	>	as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
90	>
91	>	5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
92	>
93	>	6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
94	>	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
95	>
96	>	7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
97	>	being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
98	>
99	>	8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
100	>	FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
101	>	the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
102	>
103	>	9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
104	>	is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
105	>	services connection.
106	>
107	>	10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
108	>	or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
109	>
110	>	11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
111	>	view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
112	>	TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
113	>	ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
114	>
115	>	12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
116	>	the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
117	>	must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
118	>	this setting.

225		19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
226
227	<	20. Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
227	>	20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
228		stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
229
230	<	21. TIBExtact: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
230	>	21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
231		DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
232
233		22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
#	Line 114 | Line 238 | packages.
238		before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
239		no DataSource assigned.
240
241	<	23. Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
241	>	23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
242		between SQL statements.
243
244		24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
#	Line 126 | Line 250 | packages.
250		If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
251		against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
252
253	+	25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
254	+	with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
255	+	or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
256	+
257	+	26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
258	+	statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
259	+
260	+	27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
261	+
262	+	28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
263	+	a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
264	+	is executed.
265	+
266	+	29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
267	+
268	+	30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
269	+	converting statement to upper case.
270	+
271	+	31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
272	+	IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
273	+	in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
274	+	ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
275	+
276	+	32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
277	+
278	+	33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
279	+	types.
