1 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-3 Build 12875) Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:43:01 +0100
2 >
3 > 1. Add try-..except check when initially loading library in IDE. This should
4 > ensure that IDE continues to load even when a failure occurs in IBX load
5 > library.
6 >
7 > 2. IBXScript: now recognises a CASE...END block within a stored procedure and
8 >   hence will correctly detect end of the outer containing block when the block
9 >   contains a SELECT ... CASE ... END construct.
10 >
11 > 3. IBExtract: some further tidying up to remove extraneous white space.
12 >
13 > 4. IBCustomDataSet: DefaultFieldClasses array declaration updated to avoid compile time
14 >   errors when extra elements are added to DB.TFieldType.
15 >
16 > 5. IBUpdate: updated to reflect changes to ISQLParam.
17 >
18 > 6. IBXScript: now correctly parses a DECLARE statement which includes a quoted string.
19 >
20 > 7. IBExtract: for ODS >=13, increment generator value by one for ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
21 >
22 > 8. IBSQL: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
23 >
24 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-2 Build 12773) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:59:42 +0100
25 >
26 > 1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the
27 >   exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo.
28 >
29 > 2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added.
30 >
31 > 3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property
32 >   is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a
33 >   SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g.
34 >   as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE".
35 >
36 >   There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered
37 >   manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the
38 >   StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as
39 >   CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should
40 >   ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was
41 >   declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double
42 >   quotes).
43 >
44 >   Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes,
45 >   as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not
46 >   include the delimiters (double quotes).
47 >
48 > 4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in
49 >   upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem.
50 >
51 > 5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to
52 >   'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given
53 >   version no.) in the upgrade.conf file.
54 >
55 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-1 Build 12550) Wed, 23 Jun 2021 13:59:14 +0100
56 >
57 > 1. -c command line option added to fbsql example program. Used to set connection
58 >   character set.
59 >
60 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-0 Build 12543) Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:00:08 +0000
61 >
62 > 1. Firebird 4 support added.
63 >
64 > 2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
65 >   extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
66 >
67 > 3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
68 >
69 > 4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
70 >   and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
71 >
72 > 5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
73 >   - new data types as above
74 >   - Identity column extensions
75 >   - Default user role
76 >   - SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
77 >   - Internal Functions
78 >
79 > 6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
80 >
81 > 7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
82 >
83 > 8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
84 >   and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
85 >
86 > 9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
87 >   format for rendering a time zone.
88 >
89 > 10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
90 >     to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
91 >
92 > 11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
93 >    IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
94 >
95 > 12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
96 >    now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
97 >
98 > 13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
99 >    truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
100 >    white space to the maximum data size.
101 >
102 > 14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
103 >    table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
104 >    also empty.
105 >
106 > 15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
107 >
108 > 16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
109 >    connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
110 >
111 > 17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
112 >
113 > 18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
114 >
115 > 19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
116 >    not being present as required.
117 >
118 > 20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
119 >    version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
120 >
121 > 21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
122 >    unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
123 >
124 > 22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
125 >    seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
126 >
127 > 23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
128 >      property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
129 >      IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
130 >
131 > 24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.
132 >
133 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 12350) Tue, 25 Aug 2020 16:11:02 +0100
134 >
135 > 1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
136 >    number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
137 >    to the maximum string size. This is  usually a problem with fixed width columns
138 >    right padded with white space.
139 >
140 > 2.  SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset.
141 >    If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the
142 >    SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
143 >    ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
144 >    dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
145 >    on the dataset.
146 >
147 > 3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
148 >    side filters).
149 >
150 > 4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
151 >   text matches complete entry.
152 >
153 > 5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
154 >   dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
155 >
156 > 6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
157 >
158 > 7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
159 >   This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
160 >
161 > 8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
162 >   This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
163 >   a duplicate initial row.
164 >
165 > 9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
166 >   That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
167 >   value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
168 >   for the field.
169 >
170 > 10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
171 >
172 > 11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
173 >    and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
174 >    older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
175 >    upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
176 >    In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
177 >    added back in.
178 >
179 > 12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
180 >    false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
181 >
182 > 12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
183 >    should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
184 >    is cancelled.
185 >
186 > 13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
187 >    called on a null field.
188 >
189 > 14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
190 >    results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
191 > set.
192 >
193 > 15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
194 >    a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
195 >
196 > 16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
197 >
198 > 17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
199 >
200 > 18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
201 >    possible and an exception raised.
202 >
203 > 19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
204 >    below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
205 >
206 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-4 Build 12041) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:00:32 +0100
207 >
208 > 1.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
209 >    not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
210 >
211 > 2.  TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is
212 >    passed to the Firebird engine for execution.
213 >
214 > 3.  TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt
215 >    is made to scroll back.
216 >
217 > 4.  New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
218 >
219 > 5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
220 >   only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
221 >
222 > 6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
223 >   validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
224 >   been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
225 >   if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.
226 >
227 > 7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance
228 >   with fpc 3.2.
229 >
230 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-3 Build 11512) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000
