40 > IBX Change Log  version (2.6-0 Build 13976) Thu, 22 Jun 2023 13:49:22 +0100
41 >
42 > NOTE: THIS VERSION RE-WRITES THE INTERNAL BUFFER MANAGER AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
43 >      AS BETA SOFTWARE. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS PASSED ALL REGRESSION TESTS, IT CANNOT
44 >      BE ASSUMED TO BE PRODUCTION READY UNTIL WIDER USE. PLEASE REPORT ANY
45 >      ISSUES TO support@mwasoftware.co.uk
46 >
47 > 1. Complete rewrite of internal buffer management in order to improve performance
48 >   and maintainability. Highlights:
49 >
50 >   * Extending the size of the buffer pool no longer has to copy the entire record
51 >     cache. Instead, a new extent is simply added to the buffer pool.
52 >   * A memory to memory copy of each display buffer now is avoided when scolling the
53 >     dataset.
54 >   * A separate set of buffers is now used for calculated fields. This avoids
55 >     having to keep copies of calculated field values in the buffer cache.
56 >   * Compact bitmaps are used to record null status and need to refresh in each
57 >     buffer.
58 >   * Display buffer type changed from PChar to TRecordBuffer in line with change of
59 >     buffer type in FCL-DB.
60 >
61 > 2. TIBUpdateSQL: changes to SQL text will close linked dataset if open. This is
62 >   to ensure same behaviour as TIBDataset, TIBTable and TIBStoredProcedure.
63 >
64 > 3. TField Provider Flags: pfRefreshOnInsert and pfRefreshOnUpdate are now supported.
65 >   If either or both of these flags are set at design time (using the fields editor)
66 >   then this forces a row refresh on respectively insert or update, or both, when the
67 >   corresponding field is not present in an SQL RETURNING clause.
68 >
69 > 4. TIBCustomDataset.FieldDefsFromQuery moved to a helper class (TFieldDefsMaker) in order to improve
70 >   maintainability and readability and to add identification of primary key fields.
71 >
72 > 5. TIBQuery, TIBDataset and TIBTable. Traditionally, IBX has implemented the Refresh method
73 >   as a refresh of the current row. However, this is different behaviour to that described
74 >   in the FPC documentation for TDataset.Refresh which is described as "refetches the data in
75 >   the dataset from the underlying database, and attempts to reposition the cursor on
76 >   the same record as it was". IBX now complies with the FPC definition of Refresh.
77 >
78 > 6. A progammatic Row Refresh should no longer be required.
79 >   Use Insert/Update... returning to refresh any fields that may change following an
80 >   insert or update i.e. Identify fields on Insert only, Computed By, Blob and array fields
81 >   on both. If there are any other fields (e.g. updated by triggers) set the appropriate ProviderFlag
82 >   for the field at Design Time to force a row refresh if not in the returning clause.
83 >
84 > 7. It should now be possible to insert a row into an empty unidirectional dataset.
85 >
86 > 8. New TIBQuery, TIBDataSet and TIBTable property: BufferChunksInFirstBlock (default 50).
87 >   This gives the number of buffers in the initial block for the buffer pool in
88 >   bi-directional datasets. BufferChunks (default 1000) gives the number of buffers
89 >   in subsequent buffer pool blocks. This avoids large and mostly unused memory allocations
90 >   for small datasets.
91 >
92 > IBX Change Log  version (2.5-1 Build 13927) Tue, 6 Dec 2022 23:13:00 +0000
93 >
94 > 1. IBCustomDataset: avoid problem with additions to TFieldType by using a subset instead.
95 >
96 > 2. TIBDynamicGrid: change DrawCellText declaration to comply with laz 2.3.0
97 >
98 > 3. TIBArrayGrid: change DrawCellText declaration to comply with laz 2.3.0
99 >
100 > IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 13868) Fri, 29 Jul 2022 09:52:01 +0100
101 >
102 > 1. TIBTransaction: new properties
103 >    property TransactionID: integer read GetTransactionID;
104 >    property IsReadOnly: boolean read GetIsReadOnly;
105 >    {published}
106 >    property TransactionName: string read FTransactionName write SetTransactionName;
107 >
108 > 2. IBCustomDataset: per row blob and array buffer cached clear before processing
109 >   Insert or Update...Returning. This allows blobs and arrays to be returned
110 >   by the statement.
111 >
112 > 3. TSQLXMLReader moved from IBXScript to package fbintf unit IBUtils.
113 >
114 > 4. TransactionName initialised to a newly generated GUID if empty.
115 >
116 > 5. New unit: IBJournal. This provides the TIBJournal component which is a wrapper
117 >   for the fbintf package's journaling capability. TIBJournal is used to set the
118 >   file path and filename for the journal file and to Enabled (start journaling) and
119 >   disable (stop journaling). See fbintf/doc/README.ClientSideJournaling.pdf for
120 >   more information, and comments in IBJournal.pas.
121 >
122 > 6. TIBDatabase.InternalTransaction is now a read only transaction.
123 >
124 > 7. Bug fix: blob id no longer set to null on update when blob has not been
125 >   retrieved.
126 >
127 > 8. Row auto refreshed on update/insert if blob or array field updated and field
128 >   not in a returning clause.
129 >
130 > 9. ColumnCount moved from record buffer header to a single per dataset count. Reduces
131 >   buffer overhead and avoids problem when refresh query has a different column
132 >   count to select query i.e. incorrectly changing number of columns.
133 >
134 > 10. IBExtract: support added for UDR Functions, Procedure and Trigger declarations.
135 >
136 > 11. TIBDatabaseInfo. New property FirebirdVersion. This returns the current Firebird version
137 >    string. Note that the Version property returns an InterBase compatible version string.
138 >
139 > 12. IBExtract: ensure sql identifiers returned as a LIST are always quoted.
140 >
141 > IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 12933) Mon, 29 Nov 2021 14:59:54 +0000
142 >
143 > 1. IBCustomDataset: Modify TISQL component now defaults to GoToFirstRecordOnExecute := true.
144 >   This is for compatibility with Firebird 5 where Update...Returning can return
145 >   a cursor.
146 >
147 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-3 Build 12886) Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:58:30 +0100
148 >
149 > 1. Add try-..except check when initially loading library in IDE. This should
150 > ensure that IDE continues to load even when a failure occurs in IBX load
151 > library.
152 >
153 > 2. IBXScript: now recognises a CASE...END block within a stored procedure and
154 >   hence will correctly detect end of the outer containing block when the block
155 >   contains a SELECT ... CASE ... END construct.
156 >
157 > 3. IBExtract: some further tidying up to remove extraneous white space.
158 >
159 > 4. IBCustomDataSet: DefaultFieldClasses array declaration updated to avoid compile time
160 >   errors when extra elements are added to DB.TFieldType.
161 >
162 > 5. IBUpdate: updated to reflect changes to ISQLParam.
163 >
164 > 6. IBXScript: now correctly parses a DECLARE statement which includes a quoted string.
165 >
166 > 7. IBExtract: for ODS >=13, increment generator value by one for ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
167 >
168 > 8. IBSQL: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
169 >
170 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-2 Build 12773) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:59:42 +0100
171 >
172 > 1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the
173 >   exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo.
174 >
175 > 2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added.
176 >
177 > 3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property
178 >   is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a
179 >   SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g.
180 >   as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE".
181 >
182 >   There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered
183 >   manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the
184 >   StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as
185 >   CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should
186 >   ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was
187 >   declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double
188 >   quotes).
189 >
190 >   Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes,
191 >   as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not
192 >   include the delimiters (double quotes).
193 >
194 > 4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in
195 >   upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem.
196 >
197 > 5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to
198 >   'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given
199 >   version no.) in the upgrade.conf file.
200 >
201 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-1 Build 12550) Wed, 23 Jun 2021 13:59:14 +0100
202 >
203 > 1. -c command line option added to fbsql example program. Used to set connection
204 >   character set.
205 >
206 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-0 Build 12543) Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:00:08 +0000
207 >
208 > 1. Firebird 4 support added.
209 >
210 > 2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
211 >   extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
212 >
213 > 3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
214 >
215 > 4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
216 >   and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
217 >
218 > 5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
219 >   - new data types as above
220 >   - Identity column extensions
221 >   - Default user role
222 >   - SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
223 >   - Internal Functions
224 >
225 > 6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
226 >
227 > 7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
228 >
229 > 8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
230 >   and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
231 >
232 > 9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
233 >   format for rendering a time zone.
234 >
235 > 10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
236 >     to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
237 >
238 > 11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
239 >    IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
240 >
241 > 12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
242 >    now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
243 >
244 > 13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
245 >    truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
246 >    white space to the maximum data size.
247 >
248 > 14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
249 >    table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
250 >    also empty.
251 >
252 > 15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
253 >
254 > 16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
255 >    connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
256 >
257 > 17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
258 >
259 > 18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
260 >
261 > 19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
262 >    not being present as required.
263 >
264 > 20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
265 >    version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
266 >
267 > 21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
268 >    unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
269 >
270 > 22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
271 >    seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
272 >
273 > 23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
274 >      property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
275 >      IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
276 >
277 > 24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.
278 >
279 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 12350) Tue, 25 Aug 2020 16:11:02 +0100
280 >
281 > 1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
282 >    number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
283 >    to the maximum string size. This is  usually a problem with fixed width columns
284 >    right padded with white space.
285 >
286 > 2.  SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset.
287 >    If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the
288 >    SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
289 >    ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
290 >    dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
291 >    on the dataset.
292 >
293 > 3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
294 >    side filters).
295 >
296 > 4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
297 >   text matches complete entry.
298 >
299 > 5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
300 >   dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
301 >
302 > 6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
303 >
304 > 7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
305 >   This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
306 >
307 > 8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
308 >   This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
309 >   a duplicate initial row.
310 >
311 > 9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
312 >   That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
313 >   value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
314 >   for the field.
315 >
316 > 10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
317 >
318 > 11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
319 >    and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
320 >    older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
321 >    upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
322 >    In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
323 >    added back in.
324 >
325 > 12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
326 >    false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
327 >
328 > 12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
329 >    should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
330 >    is cancelled.
331 >
332 > 13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
333 >    called on a null field.
334 >
335 > 14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
336 >    results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
337 > set.
338 >
339 > 15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
340 >    a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
341 >
342 > 16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
343 >
344 > 17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
345 >
346 > 18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
347 >    possible and an exception raised.
348 >
349 > 19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
350 >    below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
351 >
352 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-4 Build 12041) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:00:32 +0100
353 >
354 > 1.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
355 >    not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
356 >
357 > 2.  TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is
358 >    passed to the Firebird engine for execution.
359 >
360 > 3.  TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt
361 >    is made to scroll back.
362 >
363 > 4.  New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
364 >
365 > 5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
366 >   only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
367 >
368 > 6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
369 >   validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
370 >   been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
371 >   if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.
372 >
373 > 7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance
374 >   with fpc 3.2.
375 >
376 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-3 Build 11512) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000
377 >
378 >
379 > 1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
380 >   and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
381 >   includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
382 >   Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
383 >   For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
384 >
385 >   Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
386 >   over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
387 >   also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
388 >   "WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
389 >   compression to be used.
390 >
391 >   Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
392 >   returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
393 >   ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
394 >
395 > 2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
396 >   is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
397 >   ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
398 >
399 > 3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
400 >   not "INT64".
401 >
402 > 4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
403 >   These are:
404 >    property TimestampFormat: string;
405 >    property DateFormat: string;
406 >    property TimeFormat: string;
407 >
408 >   Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
409 >   DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
410 >   characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
411 >
412 >   If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
413 >   is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
414 >   locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
415 >
416 >   TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
417 >   two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
418 >
419 > 5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
420 >     property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
421 >
422 >   If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
423 >   used to delimit each and every string in the output.
424 >
425 > 6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
426 >    property FieldSeparator: string;
427 >    property HeaderSeparator: string;
428 >
429 >   Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
430 >   in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
431 >
432 > 7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
433 >    TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
434 >    property OnFormatTextString;
435 >
436 >   This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
437 >   in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
438 >   This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
439 >
440 > 8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
441 >   Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
442 >   and without raising and exception if it does not.
443 >
444 > 9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
445 >   consistency with SQL queries.
446 >
447 > 10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
448 >    When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
449 >    TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
450 >
451 > 11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
452 >    an IDE exception.
453 >
454 > 12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
455 >    when the schema source is an sql file.
456 >
457 > 13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
458 >    when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
459 >    initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
460 >    to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
461 >
462 > 14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
463 >    to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
464 >    Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
465 >    when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
466 >
467 > 15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
468 >    are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
469 >    the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
470 >    IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
471 >    completely ignored if this property is true.
472 >
473 > 16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
474 >    to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
475 >    ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
476 >
477 > 17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
478 >    read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
479 >    the same database connection.
480 >
481 > 18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
482 >    if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
483 >    including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
484 >    "Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
485 >    the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
486 >    in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
487 >
488 >    If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
489 >    and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
490 >
491 >    The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
492 >    value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
493 >
494 >    This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
495 >    use at run time.
496 >
497 >    Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
498 >    is unaffected by this change.
499 >
500 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
501 >
502 > 1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
503 >   IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
504 >   mode apps.
505 >
506 > 2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
507 >   statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
508 >
509 > 3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
510 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
511 >
512 > 4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
513 >   as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
514 >
515 > 5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
516 >
517 > 6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
518 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
519 >
520 > 7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
521 >    being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
522 >
523 > 8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
524 >   FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
525 >   the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
526 >
527 > 9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
528 >   is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
529 >   services connection.
530 >
531 > 10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
532 >   or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
533 >
534 > 11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
535 >    view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
536 >    TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
537 >    ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
538 >
539 > 12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
540 >    the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
541 >    must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
542 >    this setting.
543 >
544 > IBX Change Log  version                 (2.3-1) Thu, 25 Oct 2018 14:39:45 +0100
545 >
546 > 1. IBCustomDataset: replace deprecated function ValidUTF8String with call to
547 >   Utf8EscapeControlChars
548 >
549 > IBX Change Log  version                (2.3-0) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:48:06 +0100
550 >
551 > IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
552 > all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
553 >
554 > The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
555 > IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
556 > to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
557 > to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
558 > Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
559 > packages.
560 >
561 > 1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
562 >   the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
563 >   use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
564 >   more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
565 >   As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
566 >   provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
567 >   using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
568 >
569 > 2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
570 >   finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
571 >   not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
572 >   new set of IBX packages.
573 >
574 > 3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
575 >   updated to use the new Services API components.
576 >
577 > 4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
578 >
579 > 5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
580 >   TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
581 >   as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
582 >   correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
583 >   the setting has moved to the mappings page.
584 >
585 > 6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
586 >   are ignored.
587 >
588 > 7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
589 >   closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
590 >   are also fired.
591 >
592 > 8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
593 >   is started and not just the first time.
594 >
595 > 9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
596 >   depenendency with comp type.
597 >
598 > 10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
599 >
600 > 11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
601 >    then this is recognised and not ignored.
602 >
603 > 12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
604 >    function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
605 >    function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
606 >    property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
607 >
608 >    GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
609 >    if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
610 >    counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
611 >    the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
612 >    and then GetPerfStatistics.
613 >
614 >    See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
615 >
616 > 13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
617 >    in parenthesises.
618 >
619 > 14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
620 >    SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
621 >    only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
622 >    characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
623 >
624 > 15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
625 >    are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
626 >
627 > 16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
628 >       property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
629 >
630 >    When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
631 >    through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
632 >    then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
633 >    row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
634 >    is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
635 >    to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
636 >
637 >    Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
638 >    chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
639 >    to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
640 >
641 > 17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
642 >    with Extract Option eoDatabase.
643 >
644 > 18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
645 >    When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
646 >    combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
647 >    relationship with the control's datasource (master).
648 >
649 > 19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
650 >
651 > 20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
652 >    stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
653 >
654 > 21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
655 >    DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
656 >
657 > 22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
658 >    i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
659 >    ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
660 >    iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
661 >    iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
662 >        before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
663 >        no DataSource assigned.
664 >
665 > 23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
666 >    between SQL statements.
667 >
668 > 24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
669 >    ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
670 >    names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
671 >    double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
672 >    against the metadata object name.
673 >
674 >    If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
675 >    against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
676 >
677 > 25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
678 >    with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
679 >    or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
680 >
681 > 26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
682 >    statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
683 >
684 > 27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
685 >
686 > 28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
687 >    a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
688 >    is executed.
689 >
690 > 29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
691 >
692 > 30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
693 >    converting statement to upper case.
694 >
695 > 31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
696 >    IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
697 >    in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
698 >    ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
699 >
700 > 32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
701 >
702 > 33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
703 >    types.
