1 + IBX Change Log  version (2.4-0 Build 12473) Wed, 17 Feb 2021 10:49:57 +0000
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 + IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 12350) Tue, 25 Aug 2020 16:11:02 +0100
63 +
64 + 1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
65 +    number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
66 +    to the maximum string size. This is  usually a problem with fixed width columns
67 +    right padded with white space.
68 +
69 + 2.  SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset.
70 +    If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the
71 +    SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
72 +    ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
73 +    dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
74 +    on the dataset.
75 +
76 + 3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
77 +    side filters).
78 +
79 + 4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
80 +   text matches complete entry.
81 +
82 + 5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
83 +   dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
84 +
85 + 6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
86 +
87 + 7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
88 +   This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
89 +
90 + 8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
91 +   This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
92 +   a duplicate initial row.
93 +
94 + 9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
95 +   That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
96 +   value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
97 +   for the field.
98 +
99 + 10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
100 +
101 + 11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
102 +    and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
103 +    older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
104 +    upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
105 +    In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
106 +    added back in.
107 +
108 + 12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
109 +    false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
110 +
111 + 12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
112 +    should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
113 +    is cancelled.
114 +
115 + 13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
116 +    called on a null field.
117 +
118 + 14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
119 +    results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
120 + set.
121 +
122 + 15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
123 +    a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
124 +
125 + 16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
126 +
127 + 17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
128 +
129 + 18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
130 +    possible and an exception raised.
131 +
132 + 19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
133 +    below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
134 +
