6	+	IBX Change Log  version (2.4-0 Build 12543) Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:00:08 +0000
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	+
79	+	IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 12350) Tue, 25 Aug 2020 16:11:02 +0100
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.
