7 >
8 > 1. Firebird 4 support added.
9 >
10 > 2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
11 >   extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
12 >
13 > 3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
14 >
15 > 4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
16 >   and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
17 >
18 > 5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
19 >   - new data types as above
20 >   - Identity column extensions
21 >   - Default user role
22 >   - SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
23 >   - Internal Functions
24 >
25 > 6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
26 >
27 > 7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
28 >
29 > 8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
30 >   and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
31 >
32 > 9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
33 >   format for rendering a time zone.
34 >
35 > 10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
36 >     to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
37 >
38 > 11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
39 >    IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
40 >
41 > 12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
42 >    now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
43 >
44 > 13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
45 >    truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
46 >    white space to the maximum data size.
47 >
48 > 14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
49 >    table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
50 >    also empty.
51 >
52 > 15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
53 >
54 > 16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
55 >    connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
56 >
57 > 17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
58 >
59 > 18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
60 >
61 > 19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
62 >    not being present as required.
63 >
64 > 20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
65 >    version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
66 >
67 > 21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
68 >    unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
69 >
70 > 22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
71 >    seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
72 >
73 > 23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
74 >      property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
75 >      IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
76 >
77 > 24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.
78 >

80 >
81 > 1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
82 >    number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
83 >    to the maximum string size. This is  usually a problem with fixed width columns
84 >    right padded with white space.
85 >
86 > 2.  SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset.
87 >    If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the
88 >    SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
89 >    ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
90 >    dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
91 >    on the dataset.
92 >
93 > 3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
94 >    side filters).
95 >
96 > 4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
97 >   text matches complete entry.
98 >
99 > 5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
100 >   dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
101 >
102 > 6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
103 >
104 > 7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
105 >   This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
106 >
107 > 8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
108 >   This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
109 >   a duplicate initial row.
110 >
111 > 9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
112 >   That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
113 >   value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
114 >   for the field.
115 >
116 > 10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
117 >
118 > 11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
119 >    and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
120 >    older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
121 >    upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
122 >    In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
123 >    added back in.
124 >
125 > 12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
126 >    false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
127 >
128 > 12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
129 >    should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
130 >    is cancelled.
131 >
132 > 13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
133 >    called on a null field.
134 >
135 > 14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
136 >    results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
137 > set.
138 >
139 > 15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
140 >    a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
141 >
142 > 16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
143 >
144 > 17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
145 >
146 > 18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
147 >    possible and an exception raised.
148 >
149 > 19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
150 >    below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
151 >
152 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-4 Build 12041) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:00:32 +0100
153  
154   1.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
155      not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
