2	+
3	+	1. Maintenance update of 2.6.0. This version is still at beta.
4	+
5	+	2. Reverse out changes to DrawCellText signature in IBArrayGrid and IBDynamic Grid.
6	+	See https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/commit/53aaae9c5e2a5edac5b1d2f70739a8ef7b0a9623
7	+
8	+	3. ibxscript: When parsing a store procedure or function with a variable name
9	+	enclosed in doublequotes, the double quotes are no longer removed.

11	+	IBX Change Log  version (2.6-0 Build 13976) Thu, 22 Jun 2023 13:49:22 +0100
12	+
13	+	NOTE: THIS VERSION RE-WRITES THE INTERNAL BUFFER MANAGER AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
14	+	AS BETA SOFTWARE. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS PASSED ALL REGRESSION TESTS, IT CANNOT
15	+	BE ASSUMED TO BE PRODUCTION READY UNTIL WIDER USE. PLEASE REPORT ANY
16	+	ISSUES TO support@mwasoftware.co.uk
17	+
18	+	1. Complete rewrite of internal buffer management in order to improve performance
19	+	and maintainability. Highlights:
20	+
21	+	* Extending the size of the buffer pool no longer has to copy the entire record
22	+	cache. Instead, a new extent is simply added to the buffer pool.
23	+	* A memory to memory copy of each display buffer now is avoided when scolling the
24	+	dataset.
25	+	* A separate set of buffers is now used for calculated fields. This avoids
26	+	having to keep copies of calculated field values in the buffer cache.
27	+	* Compact bitmaps are used to record null status and need to refresh in each
28	+	buffer.
29	+	* Display buffer type changed from PChar to TRecordBuffer in line with change of
30	+	buffer type in FCL-DB.
31	+
32	+	2. TIBUpdateSQL: changes to SQL text will close linked dataset if open. This is
33	+	to ensure same behaviour as TIBDataset, TIBTable and TIBStoredProcedure.
34	+
35	+	3. TField Provider Flags: pfRefreshOnInsert and pfRefreshOnUpdate are now supported.
36	+	If either or both of these flags are set at design time (using the fields editor)
37	+	then this forces a row refresh on respectively insert or update, or both, when the
38	+	corresponding field is not present in an SQL RETURNING clause.
39	+
40	+	4. TIBCustomDataset.FieldDefsFromQuery moved to a helper class (TFieldDefsMaker) in order to improve
41	+	maintainability and readability and to add identification of primary key fields.
42	+
43	+	5. TIBQuery, TIBDataset and TIBTable. Traditionally, IBX has implemented the Refresh method
44	+	as a refresh of the current row. However, this is different behaviour to that described
45	+	in the FPC documentation for TDataset.Refresh which is described as "refetches the data in
46	+	the dataset from the underlying database, and attempts to reposition the cursor on
47	+	the same record as it was". IBX now complies with the FPC definition of Refresh.
48	+
49	+	6. A progammatic Row Refresh should no longer be required.
50	+	Use Insert/Update... returning to refresh any fields that may change following an
51	+	insert or update i.e. Identify fields on Insert only, Computed By, Blob and array fields
52	+	on both. If there are any other fields (e.g. updated by triggers) set the appropriate ProviderFlag
53	+	for the field at Design Time to force a row refresh if not in the returning clause.
54	+
55	+	7. It should now be possible to insert a row into an empty unidirectional dataset.
56	+
57	+	8. New TIBQuery, TIBDataSet and TIBTable property: BufferChunksInFirstBlock (default 50).
58	+	This gives the number of buffers in the initial block for the buffer pool in
59	+	bi-directional datasets. BufferChunks (default 1000) gives the number of buffers
60	+	in subsequent buffer pool blocks. This avoids large and mostly unused memory allocations
61	+	for small datasets.

63	+	IBX Change Log  version (2.5-1 Build 13927) Tue, 6 Dec 2022 23:13:00 +0000
64	+
65	+	1. IBCustomDataset: avoid problem with additions to TFieldType by using a subset instead.
66	+
67	+	2. TIBDynamicGrid: change DrawCellText declaration to comply with laz 2.3.0
68	+
69	+	3. TIBArrayGrid: change DrawCellText declaration to comply with laz 2.3.0
70	+
71	+	IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 13868) Fri, 29 Jul 2022 09:52:01 +0100
72	+
73	+	1. TIBTransaction: new properties
74	+	property TransactionID: integer read GetTransactionID;
75	+	property IsReadOnly: boolean read GetIsReadOnly;
76	+	{published}
77	+	property TransactionName: string read FTransactionName write SetTransactionName;
78	+
79	+	2. IBCustomDataset: per row blob and array buffer cached clear before processing
80	+	Insert or Update...Returning. This allows blobs and arrays to be returned
81	+	by the statement.
82	+
83	+	3. TSQLXMLReader moved from IBXScript to package fbintf unit IBUtils.
84	+
85	+	4. TransactionName initialised to a newly generated GUID if empty.
86	+
87	+	5. New unit: IBJournal. This provides the TIBJournal component which is a wrapper
88	+	for the fbintf package's journaling capability. TIBJournal is used to set the
89	+	file path and filename for the journal file and to Enabled (start journaling) and
90	+	disable (stop journaling). See fbintf/doc/README.ClientSideJournaling.pdf for
91	+	more information, and comments in IBJournal.pas.
92	+
93	+	6. TIBDatabase.InternalTransaction is now a read only transaction.
94	+
95	+	7. Bug fix: blob id no longer set to null on update when blob has not been
96	+	retrieved.
97	+
98	+	8. Row auto refreshed on update/insert if blob or array field updated and field
99	+	not in a returning clause.
100	+
101	+	9. ColumnCount moved from record buffer header to a single per dataset count. Reduces
102	+	buffer overhead and avoids problem when refresh query has a different column
103	+	count to select query i.e. incorrectly changing number of columns.
104	+
105	+	10. IBExtract: support added for UDR Functions, Procedure and Trigger declarations.
106	+
107	+	11. TIBDatabaseInfo. New property FirebirdVersion. This returns the current Firebird version
108	+	string. Note that the Version property returns an InterBase compatible version string.
109	+
110	+	12. IBExtract: ensure sql identifiers returned as a LIST are always quoted.
111	+
112	+	IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 12933) Mon, 29 Nov 2021 14:59:54 +0000
113	+
114	+	1. IBCustomDataset: Modify TISQL component now defaults to GoToFirstRecordOnExecute := true.
115	+	This is for compatibility with Firebird 5 where Update...Returning can return
116	+	a cursor.
117	+
