3	>	1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
4	>	path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
5	>	temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
6	>	prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
7	>	be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
8	>
9	>	2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
10	>	i.   The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
11	>	ii.  If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
12	>	points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
13	>	"bin" directory.
14	>	iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
15	>	is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
16	>	"bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
17	>	iv.  The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
18	>	are searched for the FB Client DLL.
19	>	v.   The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
20	>	vi.  Finally the  PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
21	>
22	>	3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
23	>	See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
24	>
25	>	4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
26	>	simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
27	>	See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
28	>
29	>	5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
30	>	dynamic columns.
31	>
32	>	6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
33	>	between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.

35	>	IBX Change Log  version           (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
36	>
37	>	1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
38	>
39	>	1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
40	>
41	>	2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
42	>
43	>	3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
44	>
45	>	4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
46	>	i.e. when it is a calculated field
47	>
48	>	5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
49	>	This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
50	>	determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
51	>	is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
52	>	be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
53	>	calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
54	>
55	>	6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
56	>	Windows.
57	>
58	>	7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
59	>	These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
60	>	to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
61	>
62	>	8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
63	>	TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
64	>
65	>	9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
66	>	TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
67	>	1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
68	>
69	>	Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
70	>	from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
71	>	implies no truncation.
72	>
73	>	10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
74	>
75	>	11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
76	>	(avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
77	>
78	>	12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
79	>
80	>	13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
81	>	DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
82	>
83	>	14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
84	>
85	>	15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
86	>
87	>	16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
88	>
89	>	17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.

92	>
93	>	1.   OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties
94	>
95	>	2.   IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids
96	>	problem with row size when exception is called.
97	>
98	>	3.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit.
99	>
100	>	4.   IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if
101	>	in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo
102	>
103	>	5.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text
104	>	keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed
105	>
106	>	6.   Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support
107	>	console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and
108	>	cursor management) centralised in the  IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is
109	>	not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program.
110	>	See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a
111	>	console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your
112	>	application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package.
113	>
114	>	IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order
115	>	to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is
116	>	included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause.
117	>	This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why
118	>	you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The
119	>	ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs
120	>	to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the
121	>	unit search paths set up correctly.
122	>
123	>	Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in
124	>	each project's source file (*.lpr).
125	>
126	>	You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode
127	>	exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This
128	>	adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently
129	>	available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file.
130	>
131	>	Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode.
132	>
133	>	7.   SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines
134	>
135	>	8.   IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end
136	>	of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a
137	>	column and then inserting text.
138	>
139	>	9.   New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor.
140	>
141	>	10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer
142	>	write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the
143	>	IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write
144	>	of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could
145	>	not be automatically recognised.
146	>
147	>	11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor
148	>	already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical.
149	>
150	>	12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error
151	>	when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the
152	>	table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix.
153	>
154	>	13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead
155	>	of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing
156	>	users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications.
