2 >
3 > 1. Firebird 4 support added.
4 >
5 > 2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
6 >   extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
7 >
8 > 3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
9 >
10 > 4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
11 >   and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
12 >
13 > 5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
14 >   - new data types as above
15 >   - Identity column extensions
16 >   - Default user role
17 >   - SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
18 >   - Internal Functions
19 >
20 > 6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
21 >
22 > 7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
23 >
24 > 8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
25 >   and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
26 >
27 > 9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
28 >   format for rendering a time zone.
29 >
30 > 10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
31 >     to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
32 >
33 > 11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
34 >    IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
35 >
36 > 12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
37 >    now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
38 >
39 > 13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
40 >    truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
41 >    white space to the maximum data size.
42 >
43 > 14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
44 >    table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
45 >    also empty.
46 >
47 > 15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
48 >
49 > 16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
50 >    connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
51 >
52 > 17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
53 >
54 > 18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
55 >
56 > 19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
57 >    not being present as required.
58 >
59 > 20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
60 >    version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
61 >
62 > 21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
63 >    unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
64 >
65 > 22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
66 >    seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
67 >
68 > 23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
69 >      property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
70 >      IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
71 >
72 > 24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.

76   1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
77      number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
# Line 10 | Line 83 | IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 122
83      SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
84      ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
85      dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
86 <    on the dataset. (Not yet tested)
86 >    on the dataset.
87  
88   3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
89      side filters).
90  
91 + 4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
92 +   text matches complete entry.
93 +
94 + 5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
95 +   dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
96 +
97 + 6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
98 +
99 + 7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
100 +   This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
101 +
102 + 8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
103 +   This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
104 +   a duplicate initial row.
105 +
106 + 9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
107 +   That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
108 +   value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
109 +   for the field.
110 +
111 + 10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
112 +
113 + 11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
114 +    and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
115 +    older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
116 +    upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
117 +    In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
118 +    added back in.
119 +
120 + 12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
121 +    false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
122 +
123 + 12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
124 +    should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
125 +    is cancelled.
126 +
127 + 13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
128 +    called on a null field.
129 +
130 + 14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
131 +    results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
132 + set.
133 +
134 + 15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
135 +    a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
136 +
137 + 16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
138 +
139 + 17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
140 +
141 + 18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
142 +    possible and an exception raised.
143 +
144 + 19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
145 +    below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
146 +
