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 +
135 + IBX Change Log  version (2.3-4 Build 12041) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:00:32 +0100
136 +
137 + 1.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
138 +    not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
139 +
140 + 2.  TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is
141 +    passed to the Firebird engine for execution.
142 +
143 + 3.  TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt
144 +    is made to scroll back.
145 +
146 + 4.  New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
147 +
148 + 5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
149 +   only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
150 +
151 + 6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
152 +   validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
153 +   been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
154 +   if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.
155 +
156 + 7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance
157 +   with fpc 3.2.
158 +
159 + IBX Change Log  version (2.3-3 Build 11512) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000
160 +
161 +
162 + 1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
163 +   and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
164 +   includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
165 +   Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
166 +   For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
167 +
168 +   Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
169 +   over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
170 +   also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
171 +   "WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
172 +   compression to be used.
173 +
174 +   Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
175 +   returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
176 +   ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
177 +
178 + 2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
179 +   is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
180 +   ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
181 +
182 + 3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
183 +   not "INT64".
184 +
185 + 4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
186 +   These are:
187 +    property TimestampFormat: string;
188 +    property DateFormat: string;
189 +    property TimeFormat: string;
190 +
191 +   Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
192 +   DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
193 +   characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
194 +
195 +   If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
196 +   is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
197 +   locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
198 +
199 +   TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
200 +   two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
201 +
202 + 5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
203 +     property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
204 +
205 +   If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
206 +   used to delimit each and every string in the output.
207 +
208 + 6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
209 +    property FieldSeparator: string;
210 +    property HeaderSeparator: string;
211 +
212 +   Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
213 +   in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
214 +
215 + 7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
216 +    TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
217 +    property OnFormatTextString;
218 +
219 +   This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
220 +   in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
221 +   This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
222 +
223 + 8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
224 +   Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
225 +   and without raising and exception if it does not.
226 +
227 + 9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
228 +   consistency with SQL queries.
229 +
230 + 10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
231 +    When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
232 +    TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
233 +
234 + 11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
235 +    an IDE exception.
236 +
237 + 12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
238 +    when the schema source is an sql file.
239 +
240 + 13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
241 +    when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
242 +    initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
243 +    to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
244 +
245 + 14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
246 +    to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
247 +    Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
248 +    when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
249 +
250 + 15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
251 +    are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
252 +    the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
253 +    IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
254 +    completely ignored if this property is true.
255 +
256 + 16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
257 +    to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
258 +    ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
259 +
260 + 17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
261 +    read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
262 +    the same database connection.
263 +
264 + 18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
265 +    if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
266 +    including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
267 +    "Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
268 +    the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
269 +    in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
270 +
271 +    If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
272 +    and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
273 +
274 +    The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
275 +    value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
276 +
277 +    This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
278 +    use at run time.
279 +
280 +    Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
281 +    is unaffected by this change.
282 +
283 + IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
284 +
285 + 1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
286 +   IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
287 +   mode apps.
288 +
289 + 2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
290 +   statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
291 +
292 + 3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
293 +   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
294 +
295 + 4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
296 +   as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
297 +
298 + 5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
299 +
300 + 6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
301 +   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
302 +
303 + 7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
304 +    being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
305 +
306 + 8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
307 +   FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
308 +   the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
309 +
310 + 9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
311 +   is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
312 +   services connection.
313 +
314 + 10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
315 +   or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
316 +
317 + 11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
318 +    view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
319 +    TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
320 +    ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
321 +
322 + 12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
323 +    the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
324 +    must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
325 +    this setting.
326 +
327 + IBX Change Log  version                 (2.3-1) Thu, 25 Oct 2018 14:39:45 +0100
328 +
329 + 1. IBCustomDataset: replace deprecated function ValidUTF8String with call to
330 +   Utf8EscapeControlChars
331 +
332 + IBX Change Log  version                (2.3-0) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:48:06 +0100
333 +
334 + IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
335 + all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
336 +
337 + The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
338 + IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
339 + to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
340 + to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
341 + Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
342 + packages.
343 +
344 + 1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
345 +   the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
346 +   use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
347 +   more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
348 +   As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
349 +   provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
350 +   using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
351 +
352 + 2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
353 +   finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
354 +   not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
355 +   new set of IBX packages.
356 +
357 + 3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
358 +   updated to use the new Services API components.
359 +
360 + 4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
361 +
362 + 5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
363 +   TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
364 +   as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
365 +   correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
366 +   the setting has moved to the mappings page.
367 +
368 + 6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
369 +   are ignored.
370 +
371 + 7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
372 +   closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
373 +   are also fired.
374 +
375 + 8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
376 +   is started and not just the first time.
377 +
378 + 9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
379 +   depenendency with comp type.
380 +
381 + 10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
382 +
383 + 11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
384 +    then this is recognised and not ignored.
385 +
386 + 12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
387 +    function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
388 +    function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
389 +    property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
390 +
391 +    GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
392 +    if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
393 +    counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
394 +    the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
395 +    and then GetPerfStatistics.
396 +
397 +    See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
398 +
399 + 13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
400 +    in parenthesises.
401 +
402 + 14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
403 +    SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
404 +    only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
405 +    characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
406 +
407 + 15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
408 +    are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
409 +
410 + 16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
411 +       property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
412 +
413 +    When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
414 +    through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
415 +    then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
416 +    row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
417 +    is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
418 +    to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
419 +
420 +    Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
421 +    chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
422 +    to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
423 +
424 + 17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
425 +    with Extract Option eoDatabase.
426 +
427 + 18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
428 +    When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
429 +    combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
430 +    relationship with the control's datasource (master).
431 +
432 + 19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
433 +
434 + 20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
435 +    stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
436 +
437 + 21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
438 +    DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
439 +
440 + 22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
441 +    i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
442 +    ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
443 +    iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
444 +    iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
445 +        before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
446 +        no DataSource assigned.
447 +
448 + 23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
449 +    between SQL statements.
450 +
451 + 24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
452 +    ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
453 +    names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
454 +    double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
455 +    against the metadata object name.
456 +
457 +    If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
458 +    against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
459 +
460 + 25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
461 +    with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
462 +    or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
463 +
464 + 26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
465 +    statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
466 +
467 + 27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
468 +
469 + 28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
470 +    a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
471 +    is executed.
472 +
473 + 29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
474 +
475 + 30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
476 +    converting statement to upper case.
477 +
478 + 31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
479 +    IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
480 +    in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
481 +    ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
482 +
483 + 32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
484 +
485 + 33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
486 +    types.
487 +
488 + IBX Change Log  version  (2.2-0) Wed, 28 Feb 2018 10:57:45 +0000
489 +
490 + NOTE: THE LOCATIONS OF SOME OF THE UNIT DIRECTORIES HAS CHANGED FROM IBX 2.1. THIS IS TO
491 + AVOID DUPLICATE PPU WARNINGS. PLEASE REMOVE EARLIER VERSIONS OF IBX BEFORE INSTALLING THIS
492 + RELEASE.
493 +
494 + NOTE: THE DBADMIN DEMO REQUIRES THAT THE MemDSLaz PACKAGE IS INSTALLED IN THE LAZARUS IDE.
495 +
496 + 1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name.
497 +
498 + 2. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses.
499 +   The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further
500 +   information). However, this is also a very useful mechanism for returning updated computed by
501 +   column values. Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement
502 +   replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column.
503 +
504 +   Previously, if a dataset's select query included read only (computed by) fields then
505 +   an automatic row refresh was performed after an insert or update query had been processed,
506 +   irrespective of the setting of the "ForcedUpdates" property. This has changed such
507 +   that an automatic refresh is no longer performed if an insert or update query contains
508 +   a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row
509 +   refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any
510 +   field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update
511 +   returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query.
512 +
513 +   This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change
514 +   existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability.
515 +
516 + 3. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as
517 +   they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in
518 +   updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler
519 +   "OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and
520 +   an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned
521 +   by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and
522 +   perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user,
523 +   the deletion of a row with the returned values.
524 +
525 + 4. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for
526 +   any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to
527 +   illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update.
528 +
529 + 5. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published.
530 +
531 + 6. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List.
532 +   When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to
533 +   be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of
534 +   each Identity column after the insert is executed.
535 +
536 + 7. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause.
537 +   Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in
538 +   Insert..Returning clause.
539 +
540 + 8. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time
541 +   a new value is generated.
542 +
543 + 9. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used.
544 +
545 + 10. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System
546 +    Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table.
547 +
548 + 11. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field
549 +    values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again
550 +    to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach).
551 +
552 + 12. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures.
553 +    * Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and
554 +      which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select
555 +      query).
556 +    * Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2).
557 +
558 + 13. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName
559 +    can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is
560 +    expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the
561 +    generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package.
562 +
563 + 14. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include
564 +    a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from
565 +    which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package
566 +    stored procedures are listed.
567 +
568 + 15. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting
569 +    for password on reconnect.
570 +
571 + 16. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page
572 +    and character set name.
573 +
574 + 17. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise
575 +    DB info lookups"
576 +
577 + 18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects.
578 +
579 + 19. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL.
580 +
581 + 20. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input
582 +    parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be
583 +    located in the record buffer.
584 +
585 + 21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table
586 +    is a System Table.
587 +
588 + 22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception.
589 +    This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query.
590 +
591 + 23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to
592 +    add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using
593 +    an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a
594 +    database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db".
595 +
596 + 24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout.
597 +    This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response.
598 +
599 + 25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase.
600 +
601 + 26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local
602 +    databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory
603 +    (including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including
604 +    trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory
605 +    in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned
606 +    from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'.
607 +    Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed
608 +    above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be
609 +    used to improve application portability for Personal Databases.
610 +
611 + 27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef
612 +    this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be
613 +    managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields
614 +    editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor
615 +    is then displayed.
616 +
617 + 28. TIBDatabaseInfo: new properties/function
618 +     * DateDBCreated (returns date/time database created)
619 +     * TransactionCount (returns no. of active transactions)
620 +     * GetDatabasePage(PageNo: integer) (returns contents of specified database page - SYSDBA only).
621 +     * PagesFree (Firebird 3 or later)
622 +     * PagesUsed (Firebird 3 or later)
623 +     * Encrypted (returns true if database encrypted. (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only)
624 +     * EncryptionKeyName (returns the name of the encryption key if any (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only)
625 +
626 + 29. IBServices classes now provided the decoded release number in the (array) property ServerVersionNo.
627 +
628 + 30. TIBSecurityService now supports display/modification of the User Admin Role (Firebird 2.5 and later).
629 +
630 + 31. TIBConfigService now has a procedure SetAutoAdmin(Value: boolean) to enable/disable
631 +    the automtic mapping of privileged OS users to the RDB$ADMIN role (Firebird 2.5 and later).
632 +
633 + 32. TIBBackupService: New Option - NoDBTriggers equivalent to -nodbtriggers switch introduced
634 +    in the gbak utility at V.2.1 to prevent database-level and transaction-level triggers from
635 +    firing during backup and restore.
636 +
637 + 33. Both TIBBackupService and TIBRestoreService now support backup/restore statistics options
638 +    for verbose output using the new property "StatisticsRequested".
639 +    see https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-util-gbak.html#rnfb25-util-gbakstats
640 +
641 + 34. TIBRestoreService: now supports new options RestoreMetaDataOnly (Firebird 2.5 and later).
642 +
643 + 35. TIBOnlineValidationService component added to the IBServices and the "Firebird Admin"
644 +    palette. This uses the online validation feature added in Firebird 2.5. The
645 +    services's properties enable inclusion/exclusion of tables and indexes using
646 +    regular expressions. See.
647 +    https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-apiods-api.html#rnfb25-apiods-api-onlinevalidation
648 +
649 + 36. IBServices: procedure TIBConfigService.SetNoLinger added to set no linger
650 +    option on a database.
651 +
652 + 37. TIBCustomService: Assign method implemented to allow copying of service login
653 +    context between service API components. "Detach" method now only detaches
654 +    service when last reference to the service interface detaches. Tidy up of
655 +    code for SetActive and Attach methods including password hiding.
656 +
657 + 38. TIBDatabase: new properties: AuthenticationMethod and RemoteProtocol. Read only
658 +    and used to determine the auth method and protocol used for the connection.
659 +
660 + 39. TIBDatabase: ensure that SQLDialect setting is used when creating a database using
661 +    a Create Database Statement generated by IBX.
662 +
663 + 40. All IBServices now have an additional published property "PortNo". This may
664 +    be set to a non-standard port number when necessary. If zero then the default
665 +    port number is used.
666 +
667 + 41: TIBLookupComboeditBox: Ensure dataset updated when change selected with the keyboard
668 +    and not just the mouse.
669 +
670 + 42. TIBCustomDataset: reopen query if already active when a TIBControlLink is added.
671 +
672 + 43. TIBTreeview: new ImageIndexField and SelectedIndexField Property allows the
673 +    image index and selected image index for each node to be set from a database field.
674 +
675 + 44. TIBExtract: new extract type (etGrantsToUser) for use with eoDatabase. If included
676 +    then database schema includes grants to all users. If not present then the
677 +    only user grants included are those to User PUBLIC.
678 +
679 + 45. TIBTreeView: performance improvement. When expanding include both expanded node
680 +    and child nodes in dataset.
681 +
682 +
683 + IBX Change Log  version                            (2.1-0) Fri, 15 Dec 2017 12:20:11 +0000
684 +
685 + 1. IBCustomDataset: Minor change of PChar to PByte for compatibility with fbintf
686 +   changes.
687 +
688 + 2. IBCustomDataset: Fixed use of incorrect datasize in TIBStringField.SetAsString.
689 +   Bug could result in truncated multi-byte character set values.
690 +
691 + 3. Changes consequential on moving fbintf character set utility functions from
692 +   IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment.
693 +
694 + 4. Avoid "Object is nil" error when opening a database with DefaultSystemCodePage = true
695 +
696 + 5. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition when autocompleting text that occasionally
697 +   results in autocomplete ignoring prefix text.
698 +
699 + 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that cursor is not reset to start of text when
700 +   entering a new name into the text box.
701 +
702 + 7. IBCustomDataset: ensure that TIBStringField uses the field size reported by
703 +   Firebird rather than recomputing it.
704 +
705 + 8. Property Editor positioning tidy up: All IBX Property editors should now be
706 +   screen centre. Previously some were "poDesigned" which may be inappropriate
707 +   for multi monitor desktops.
708 +
709 + 10. TIBTreeView.FindNode: protect against error if zero length path or empty tree node.
710 +
711 + 11. TIBTransaction: On Force Disconnect do not raise an exception when problem ending
712 +    a transaction and always reset the object.
713 +
714 + 12. TIBQuery tidyup: remove unnecessary call to GetAffectedRows.
715 +
716 + 13. TIBXScript: Allow for override of database filename in Create Database statements.
717 +
718 + 14. IBLocaldb: Support initialisation of the database from an SQL script in addition
719 +    to a gbak format archive.
720 +
721 + 15. IBLocaldb: fix problem that stopped the OnSharedDataDir event from being recognised.
722 +
723 + 16. IBLocaldb: Drop database if error creating an empty database.
724 +
725 + 17. TIBTreeView: improve performance when selecting node - avoid refreshing dataset
726 +    unless selected node not in current dataset.
727 +
728 + 18. IBServices: SetDBParams method moved from TCustomIBLocalDBSupport (in IBLocalDB package)
729 +    to TIBCustomService, and IBlocalDB code tidy up.
730 +
731 + 19. IBTreeView: Initialise TIBTreeNode KeyValue to null to avoid unpredictable
732 +    behaviour due to uninitialised variable.
733 +
734 + 20. IBServices: Correct encoding of isc_spb_prp_write_mode in TIBConfigService from
735 +    integer to byte. Ditto isc_spb_prp_reserve_space and isc_spb_prp_access_mode.
736 +
737 + 21. IBSQL: When Database changed ensure that all resources are freed.
738 +
739 + 22. IBCustomDataset: When database changed ensure that queries an unprepared.
740 +
741 + 23. SQL Property Editors now use SynEdit with SQL Highlighter. New features include:
742 +    * Line Wrap on SQL Token boundaries (on user command)
743 +    * auto-complete table names in drop down list of table names
744 +    * Double click on tablename or field name adds to SQL text
745 +
746 + 24. IBDataOutput: print statistics using float (%f) format instead of decimal (%d).
747 +
748 + 25. IBTreeView: Call to FindNode: param type change from "array of Variant" to
749 +    TVariantArray. Seems to avoid memory corruption in Windows (probably a
750 +    workaround for a problem in fpc 3.0.4 win64).
751 +
752 + 26. IBDatabaseInfo: Code tidy up. Add check for database not assigned or not open.
753 +
754 + 27. IBDatabaseInfo: Remove memory leak when accessing database operation counts.
755 +
756 + IBX Change Log  version                   (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000
757 +
758 + 1. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to
759 +   include remote system name.
760 +
761 + 2. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty
762 +   tables when data included in output.
763 +
764 + 3. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance
765 +   and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate
766 +   performance bottlenecks.
767 +
768 + 4. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different.
769 +
770 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit
771 +
772 + 6. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures
773 +   that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName
774 +   not found error.
775 +
776 + 7. IBUpdate: This is a new IBX component similar to TIBUpdateSQL. It is more general
777 +   purpose and allows the programmer to define any action they want for Update, Insert
778 +   or Delete. This may be complex SQL (similar to a Trigger), application specific
779 +   filtering of updates, or use of statements such as Grant or Revoke instead of
780 +   normal DML. See User Manual for more information.
781 +
782 + IBX Change Log  version                  (2.0-1) Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:31:49 +0000
783 +
784 + 1. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events.
785 +
786 + 2. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege.
787 +
788 + 3. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using
789 +   hexadecimal notation.
790 +
791 + 4. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements
792 +   using a simple XML format.
793 +
794 + 5. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include
795 +   grants to these objects.
796 +
797 + 6. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid
798 +   dependency problems restoring complex databases.
799 +
800 + 7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of
801 +   embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition
802 +   to non-interactive data sources such as files.
803 +
804 + 8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported.
805 +
806 + 9. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported:
807 +   SET SQL DIALECT
808 +   SET TERM
809 +   SET AUTODDL
810 +   SET BAIL
811 +   SET ECHO
812 +   SET COUNT
813 +   SET STATS
814 +   SET NAMES <character set>
815 +
816 + 10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information.
817 +
818 + 11. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments.,
819 +    and domain definitions.
820 +
821 + 12. TIBExtract: Triggers now use SQL2003 syntax and database and transaction triggers
822 +    fully supported.
823 +
824 + 13. TIBExtract: when a database dump includes data, the generator values are now also set.
825 +
826 + 14: IBSQLEdit: Unit LCLPlatformDef added to uses clauses for lazarus 1.7 and later.
827 +
828 + IBX Change Log  version     (2.0-0) Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:33:44 +0000
829 +
830 + See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on
831 + upgrading to IBX2.
832 +
833 + 1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field
834 +   and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such
835 +   as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField
836 +   code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour.
837 +   The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0.
838 +
839 + 2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When
840 +   true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is
841 +   always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear
842 +   why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false.
843 +
844 + 3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure
845 +   block.
846 +
847 + 4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not
848 +   exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt
849 +   is made to create the database.
850 +
851 + 5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database
852 +   has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when
853 +   creating a database after it was found not to exist.
854 +
855 + 6.  DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being
856 +    written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message
857 +    loop before rendering the row image.
858 +
859 + 7.  DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for
860 +    a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is
861 +    known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first
862 +    displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening
863 +    of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created.
864 +
865 + 8.  DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with
866 +    a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel.
867 +
868 + 9.  TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes.
869 +
870 + 10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows.
871 +
872 + 11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade.

875 +
876 + 1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration
877 +   when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for
878 +   http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622.
879 +
880 + 2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server
881 +   since Firebird 1.5.
882 +
883 + 3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or
884 +   similar.
885 +
886 + 4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id.
887 +
888 + 5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in
889 +   Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16.
890 +
891 + 6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8
892 +   regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
893 +   is for compatibility with the LCL.

896 +
897 + 1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
898 +   read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
899 +   improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
900 +
901 + 2. Clearing a  Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
902 +
903 + 3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
904 +   is now used.
905 +
906 + 4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
907 +   determined.
908 +
909 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
910 +
911 + 6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post
912 +   lazarus 1.6.0
913 +
914 + 7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages"
915 +   compilation error.

918 +
919 + 1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
920 +  character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
921 +  Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
922 +  set as the connection.
923 +
924 + 2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
925 +   for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
926 +
927 + 3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
928 +   to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
929 +   entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
930 +
931 + 4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
932 +   column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
933 +   Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
934 +
935 + 5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
936 +   column width.
937 +
938 + 6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
939 +   and a case insensitive search is requested.
940 +
941 + 7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
942 +   or column ListSource.
943 +
944 + 8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
945 +   unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
946 +
947 + 9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
948 +   Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
949 +
950 + 10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
951 +   Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
952 +
953 + 11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
954 +
955 + 12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
956 +    string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
957 +    Firebird driver transliteration, if any.  FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
958 +    earlier versions.
959 +
960 + 13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
961 +    will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
962 +    if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
963 +
964 + 14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
965 +    is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
966 +    the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
967 +    platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
968 +    3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
969 +    the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
970 +
971 + 15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
972 +    name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
973 +    Database is connected.
974 +
975 + 16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
976 +    id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.
