1 + IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 12933) Mon, 29 Nov 2021 14:59:54 +0000
2 +
3 + 1. IBCustomDataset: Modify TISQL component now defaults to GoToFirstRecordOnExecute := true.
4 +   This is for compatibility with Firebird 5 where Update...Returning can return
5 +   a cursor.
6 +
7 + IBX Change Log  version (2.4-3 Build 12886) Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:58:30 +0100
8 +
9 + 1. Add try-..except check when initially loading library in IDE. This should
10 + ensure that IDE continues to load even when a failure occurs in IBX load
11 + library.
12 +
13 + 2. IBXScript: now recognises a CASE...END block within a stored procedure and
14 +   hence will correctly detect end of the outer containing block when the block
15 +   contains a SELECT ... CASE ... END construct.
16 +
17 + 3. IBExtract: some further tidying up to remove extraneous white space.
18 +
19 + 4. IBCustomDataSet: DefaultFieldClasses array declaration updated to avoid compile time
20 +   errors when extra elements are added to DB.TFieldType.
21 +
22 + 5. IBUpdate: updated to reflect changes to ISQLParam.
23 +
24 + 6. IBXScript: now correctly parses a DECLARE statement which includes a quoted string.
25 +
26 + 7. IBExtract: for ODS >=13, increment generator value by one for ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
27 +
28 + 8. IBSQL: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
29 +
30 + IBX Change Log  version (2.4-2 Build 12773) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:59:42 +0100
31 +
32 + 1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the
33 +   exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo.
34 +
35 + 2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added.
36 +
37 + 3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property
38 +   is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a
39 +   SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g.
40 +   as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE".
41 +
42 +   There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered
43 +   manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the
44 +   StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as
45 +   CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should
46 +   ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was
47 +   declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double
48 +   quotes).
49 +
50 +   Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes,
51 +   as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not
52 +   include the delimiters (double quotes).
53 +
54 + 4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in
55 +   upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem.
56 +
57 + 5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to
58 +   'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given
59 +   version no.) in the upgrade.conf file.
60 +
61 + IBX Change Log  version (2.4-1 Build 12550) Wed, 23 Jun 2021 13:59:14 +0100
62 +
63 + 1. -c command line option added to fbsql example program. Used to set connection
64 +   character set.
65 +
66 + IBX Change Log  version (2.4-0 Build 12543) Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:00:08 +0000
67 +
68 + 1. Firebird 4 support added.
69 +
70 + 2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
71 +   extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
72 +
73 + 3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
74 +
75 + 4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
76 +   and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
77 +
78 + 5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
79 +   - new data types as above
80 +   - Identity column extensions
81 +   - Default user role
82 +   - SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
83 +   - Internal Functions
84 +
85 + 6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
86 +
87 + 7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
88 +
89 + 8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
90 +   and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
91 +
92 + 9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
93 +   format for rendering a time zone.
94 +
95 + 10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
96 +     to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
97 +
98 + 11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
99 +    IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
100 +
101 + 12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
102 +    now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
103 +
104 + 13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
105 +    truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
106 +    white space to the maximum data size.
107 +
108 + 14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
109 +    table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
110 +    also empty.
111 +
112 + 15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
113 +
114 + 16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
115 +    connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
116 +
117 + 17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
118 +
119 + 18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
120 +
121 + 19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
122 +    not being present as required.
123 +
124 + 20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
125 +    version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
126 +
127 + 21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
128 +    unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
129 +
130 + 22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
131 +    seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
132 +
133 + 23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
134 +      property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
135 +      IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
136 +
137 + 24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.
138 +
139 + IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 12350) Tue, 25 Aug 2020 16:11:02 +0100
140 +
141 + 1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
142 +    number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
143 +    to the maximum string size. This is  usually a problem with fixed width columns
144 +    right padded with white space.
145 +
146 + 2.  SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset.
147 +    If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the
148 +    SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
149 +    ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
150 +    dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
151 +    on the dataset.
152 +
153 + 3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
154 +    side filters).
155 +
156 + 4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
157 +   text matches complete entry.
158 +
159 + 5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
160 +   dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
161 +
162 + 6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
163 +
164 + 7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
165 +   This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
166 +
167 + 8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
168 +   This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
169 +   a duplicate initial row.
170 +
171 + 9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
172 +   That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
173 +   value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
174 +   for the field.
175 +
176 + 10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
177 +
178 + 11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
179 +    and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
180 +    older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
181 +    upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
182 +    In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
183 +    added back in.
184 +
185 + 12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
186 +    false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
187 +
188 + 12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
189 +    should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
190 +    is cancelled.
191 +
192 + 13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
193 +    called on a null field.
194 +
195 + 14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
196 +    results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
197 + set.
198 +
199 + 15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
200 +    a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
201 +
202 + 16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
203 +
204 + 17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
205 +
206 + 18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
207 +    possible and an exception raised.
208 +
209 + 19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
210 +    below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
211 +
