3	>	1.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
4	>	not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
5	>
6	>	2.  TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is
7	>	passed to the Firebird engine for execution.
8	>
9	>	3.  TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt
10	>	is made to scroll back.
11	>
12	>	4.  New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
13	>
14	>	5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
15	>	only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
16	>
17	>	6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
18	>	validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
19	>	been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
20	>	if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.
21	>
22	>	7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance
23	>	with fpc 3.2.

26	>
27	>
28	>	1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
29	>	and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
30	>	includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
31	>	Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
32	>	For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
33	>
34	>	Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
35	>	over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
36	>	also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
37	>	"WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
38	>	compression to be used.
39	>
40	>	Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
41	>	returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
42	>	ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
43	>
44	>	2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
45	>	is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
46	>	ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
47	>
48	>	3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
49	>	not "INT64".
50	>
51	>	4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
52	>	These are:
53	>	property TimestampFormat: string;
54	>	property DateFormat: string;
55	>	property TimeFormat: string;
56	>
57	>	Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
58	>	DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
59	>	characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
60	>
61	>	If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
62	>	is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
63	>	locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
64	>
65	>	TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
66	>	two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
67	>
68	>	5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
69	>	property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
70	>
71	>	If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
72	>	used to delimit each and every string in the output.
73	>
74	>	6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
75	>	property FieldSeparator: string;
76	>	property HeaderSeparator: string;
77	>
78	>	Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
79	>	in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
80	>
81	>	7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
82	>	TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
83	>	property OnFormatTextString;
84	>
85	>	This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
86	>	in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
87	>	This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
88	>
89	>	8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
90	>	Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
91	>	and without raising and exception if it does not.
92	>
93	>	9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
94	>	consistency with SQL queries.
95	>
96	>	10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
97	>	When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
98	>	TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
99	>
100	>	11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
101	>	an IDE exception.
102	>
103	>	12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
104	>	when the schema source is an sql file.
105	>
106	>	13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
107	>	when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
108	>	initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
109	>	to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
110	>
111	>	14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
112	>	to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
113	>	Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
114	>	when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
115	>
116	>	15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
117	>	are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
118	>	the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
119	>	IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
120	>	completely ignored if this property is true.
121	>
122	>	16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
123	>	to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
124	>	ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
125	>
126	>	17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
127	>	read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
128	>	the same database connection.
129	>
130	>	18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
131	>	if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
132	>	including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
133	>	"Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
134	>	the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
135	>	in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
136	>
137	>	If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
138	>	and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
139	>
140	>	The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
141	>	value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
142	>
143	>	This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
144	>	use at run time.
145	>
146	>	Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
147	>	is unaffected by this change.
148	>
149	>	IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
150	>
151	>	1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
152	>	IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
153	>	mode apps.
154	>
155	>	2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
156	>	statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
157	>
158	>	3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
159	>	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
160	>
161	>	4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
162	>	as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
163	>
164	>	5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
165	>
166	>	6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
167	>	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
168	>
169	>	7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
170	>	being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
171	>
172	>	8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
173	>	FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
174	>	the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
175	>
176	>	9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
177	>	is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
178	>	services connection.
179	>
180	>	10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
181	>	or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
182	>
183	>	11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
184	>	view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
185	>	TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
186	>	ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
187	>
188	>	12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
189	>	the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
190	>	must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
191	>	this setting.

200		IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
201		all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
#	Line 88 | Line 285 | packages.

286		Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
287		chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
288	<	to avoid an LCL dependency.

289
290		17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
291		with Extract Option eoDatabase.
292
293		18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
294	<	When a deLaoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
294	>	When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
295		combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
296		relationship with the control's datasource (master).
297
298	+	19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
299	+
300	+	20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
301	+	stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
302	+
303	+	21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
304	+	DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
305	+
306	+	22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
307	+	i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
308	+	ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
309	+	iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
310	+	iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
311	+	before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
312	+	no DataSource assigned.
313	+
314	+	23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
315	+	between SQL statements.
316	+
317	+	24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
318	+	ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
319	+	names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
320	+	double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
321	+	against the metadata object name.
322	+
323	+	If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
324	+	against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
325	+
326	+	25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
327	+	with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
328	+	or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
329	+
330	+	26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
331	+	statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
332	+
333	+	27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
334	+
335	+	28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
336	+	a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
337	+	is executed.
338	+
339	+	29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
340	+
341	+	30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
342	+	converting statement to upper case.
343	+
344	+	31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
345	+	IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
346	+	in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
347	+	ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
348	+
349	+	32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
350	+
351	+	33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
352	+	types.
