9	>	IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
10	>	all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
11	>
12	>	The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
13	>	IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
14	>	to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
15	>	to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
16	>	Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
17	>	packages.
18	>
19	>	1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
20	>	the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
21	>	use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
22	>	more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
23	>	As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
24	>	provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
25	>	using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
26	>
27	>	2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
28	>	finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
29	>	not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
30	>	new set of IBX packages.
31	>
32	>	3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
33	>	updated to use the new Services API components.
34	>
35	>	4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
36	>
37	>	5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
38	>	TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
39	>	as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
40	>	correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
41	>	the setting has moved to the mappings page.
42	>
43	>	6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
44	>	are ignored.
45	>
46	>	7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
47	>	closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
48	>	are also fired.
49	>
50	>	8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
51	>	is started and not just the first time.
52	>
53	>	9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
54	>	depenendency with comp type.
55	>
56	>	10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
57	>
58	>	11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
59	>	then this is recognised and not ignored.
60	>
61	>	12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
62	>	function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
63	>	function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
64	>	property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
65	>
66	>	GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
67	>	if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
68	>	counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
69	>	the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
70	>	and then GetPerfStatistics.
71	>
72	>	See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
73	>
74	>	13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
75	>	in parenthesises.
76	>
77	>	14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
78	>	SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
79	>	only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
80	>	characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
81	>
82	>	15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
83	>	are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
84	>
85	>	16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
86	>	property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
87	>
88	>	When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
89	>	through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
90	>	then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
91	>	row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
92	>	is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
93	>	to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
94	>
95	>	Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
96	>	chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
97	>	to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
98	>
99	>	17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
100	>	with Extract Option eoDatabase.
101	>
102	>	18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
103	>	When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
104	>	combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
105	>	relationship with the control's datasource (master).
106	>
107	>	19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
108	>
109	>	20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
110	>	stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
111	>
112	>	21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
113	>	DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
114	>
115	>	22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
116	>	i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
117	>	ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
118	>	iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
119	>	iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
120	>	before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
121	>	no DataSource assigned.
122	>
123	>	23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
124	>	between SQL statements.
125	>
126	>	24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
127	>	ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
128	>	names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
129	>	double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
130	>	against the metadata object name.
131	>
132	>	If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
133	>	against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
134	>
135	>	25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
136	>	with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
137	>	or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
138	>
139	>	26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
140	>	statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
141	>
142	>	27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
143	>
144	>	28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
145	>	a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
146	>	is executed.
147	>
148	>	29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
149	>
150	>	30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
151	>	converting statement to upper case.
152	>
153	>	31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
154	>	IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
155	>	in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
156	>	ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
157	>
158	>	32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
159	>
160	>	33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
161	>	types.
