2	+
3	+	1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
4	+	read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
5	+	improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
6	+
7	+	2. Clearing a  Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
8	+
9	+	3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
10	+	is now used.
11	+
12	+	4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
13	+	determined.
14	+
15	+	5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
16	+
17	+	6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post
18	+	lazarus 1.6.0
19	+
20	+	7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages"
21	+	compilation error.
22	+
23	+	IBX Change Log  version                                 (1.4-1) Tue, 17 May 2016 09:14:51 +0100
24	+
25	+	1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
26	+	character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
27	+	Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
28	+	set as the connection.
29	+
30	+	2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
31	+	for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
32	+
33	+	3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
34	+	to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
35	+	entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
36	+
37	+	4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
38	+	column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
39	+	Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
40	+
41	+	5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
42	+	column width.
43	+
44	+	6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
45	+	and a case insensitive search is requested.
46	+
47	+	7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
48	+	or column ListSource.
49	+
50	+	8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
51	+	unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
52	+
53	+	9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
54	+	Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
55	+
56	+	10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
57	+	Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
58	+
59	+	11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
60	+
61	+	12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
62	+	string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
63	+	Firebird driver transliteration, if any.  FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
64	+	earlier versions.
65	+
66	+	13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
67	+	will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
68	+	if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
69	+
70	+	14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
71	+	is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
72	+	the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
73	+	platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
74	+	3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
75	+	the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
76	+
77	+	15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
78	+	name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
79	+	Database is connected.
80	+
81	+	16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
82	+	id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.
83	+
84	+	IBX Change Log  version                          (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000
85	+
86	+	1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
87	+	path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
88	+	temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
89	+	prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
90	+	be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
91	+
92	+	2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
93	+	i.   The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
94	+	ii.  If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
95	+	points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
96	+	"bin" directory.
97	+	iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
98	+	is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
99	+	"bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
100	+	iv.  The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
101	+	are searched for the FB Client DLL.
102	+	v.   The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
103	+	vi.  Finally the  PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
104	+
105	+	3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
106	+	See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
107	+
108	+	4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
109	+	simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
110	+	See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
111	+
112	+	5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
113	+	dynamic columns.
114	+
115	+	6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
116	+	between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.
117	+
118	+	IBX Change Log  version           (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
119	+
120	+	1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
121	+
122	+	1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
123	+
124	+	2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
125	+
126	+	3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
127	+
128	+	4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
129	+	i.e. when it is a calculated field
130	+
131	+	5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
132	+	This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
133	+	determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
134	+	is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
135	+	be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
136	+	calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
137	+
138	+	6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
139	+	Windows.
140	+
141	+	7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
142	+	These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
143	+	to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
144	+
145	+	8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
146	+	TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
147	+
148	+	9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
149	+	TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
150	+	1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
151	+
152	+	Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
153	+	from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
154	+	implies no truncation.
155	+
156	+	10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
157	+
158	+	11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
159	+	(avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
160	+
161	+	12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
162	+
163	+	13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
164	+	DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
165	+
166	+	14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
167	+
168	+	15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
169	+
170	+	16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
171	+
172	+	17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.
173	+
