18 >   instead of zero. This is because Laz 3.0 changes the value of NullDate.

45 > NOTE: THIS VERSION RE-WRITES THE INTERNAL BUFFER MANAGER AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
46 >      AS BETA SOFTWARE. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS PASSED ALL REGRESSION TESTS, IT CANNOT
47 >      BE ASSUMED TO BE PRODUCTION READY UNTIL WIDER USE. PLEASE REPORT ANY
48 >      ISSUES TO support@mwasoftware.co.uk
49 >
50 > 1. Complete rewrite of internal buffer management in order to improve performance
51 >   and maintainability. Highlights:
52 >
53 >   * Extending the size of the buffer pool no longer has to copy the entire record
54 >     cache. Instead, a new extent is simply added to the buffer pool.
55 >   * A memory to memory copy of each display buffer now is avoided when scolling the
56 >     dataset.
57 >   * A separate set of buffers is now used for calculated fields. This avoids
58 >     having to keep copies of calculated field values in the buffer cache.
59 >   * Compact bitmaps are used to record null status and need to refresh in each
60 >     buffer.
61 >   * Display buffer type changed from PChar to TRecordBuffer in line with change of
62 >     buffer type in FCL-DB.
63 >
64 > 2. TIBUpdateSQL: changes to SQL text will close linked dataset if open. This is
65 >   to ensure same behaviour as TIBDataset, TIBTable and TIBStoredProcedure.
66 >
67 > 3. TField Provider Flags: pfRefreshOnInsert and pfRefreshOnUpdate are now supported.
68 >   If either or both of these flags are set at design time (using the fields editor)
69 >   then this forces a row refresh on respectively insert or update, or both, when the
70 >   corresponding field is not present in an SQL RETURNING clause.
71 >
72 > 4. TIBCustomDataset.FieldDefsFromQuery moved to a helper class (TFieldDefsMaker) in order to improve
73 >   maintainability and readability and to add identification of primary key fields.
74 >
75 > 5. TIBQuery, TIBDataset and TIBTable. Traditionally, IBX has implemented the Refresh method
76 >   as a refresh of the current row. However, this is different behaviour to that described
77 >   in the FPC documentation for TDataset.Refresh which is described as "refetches the data in
78 >   the dataset from the underlying database, and attempts to reposition the cursor on
79 >   the same record as it was". IBX now complies with the FPC definition of Refresh.
80 >
81 > 6. A progammatic Row Refresh should no longer be required.
82 >   Use Insert/Update... returning to refresh any fields that may change following an
83 >   insert or update i.e. Identify fields on Insert only, Computed By, Blob and array fields
84 >   on both. If there are any other fields (e.g. updated by triggers) set the appropriate ProviderFlag
85 >   for the field at Design Time to force a row refresh if not in the returning clause.
86 >
87 > 7. It should now be possible to insert a row into an empty unidirectional dataset.
88 >
89 > 8. New TIBQuery, TIBDataSet and TIBTable property: BufferChunksInFirstBlock (default 50).
90 >   This gives the number of buffers in the initial block for the buffer pool in
91 >   bi-directional datasets. BufferChunks (default 1000) gives the number of buffers
92 >   in subsequent buffer pool blocks. This avoids large and mostly unused memory allocations
93 >   for small datasets.
