2 >
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 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
74 >
75 > 1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
76 >   IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
77 >   mode apps.
78 >
79 > 2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
80 >   statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
81 >
82 > 3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
83 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
84 >
85 > 4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
86 >   as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
87 >
88 > 5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
89 >
90 > 6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
91 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
92 >
93 > 7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
94 >    being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
95 >
96 > 8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
97 >   FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
98 >   the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
99 >
100 > 9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
101 >   is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
102 >   services connection.
103 >
104 > 10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
105 >   or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
106 >
107 > 11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
108 >    view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
109 >    TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
110 >    ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
111 >
112 > 12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
113 >    the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
114 >    must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
115 >    this setting.
116 >

120 >   Utf8EscapeControlChars
