5   2. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses.
6     The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further
7 <   information). Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement
8 <   replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column.

11 < 3. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List.

30     When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to
31     be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of
32     each Identity column after the insert is executed.
33  
34 + 6. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause.
35 +   Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in
36 +   Insert..Returning clause.
37 +
38 + 7. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time
39 +   a new value is generated.
40 +
41 + 8. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used.
42 +
43 + 9. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System
44 +   Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table.
45 +
46 + 10. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field
47 +    values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again
48 +    to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach).
49 +
50 + 11. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures.
51 +    * Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and
52 +      which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select
53 +      query).
54 +    * Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2).
55 +
56 + 12. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName
57 +    can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is
58 +    expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the
59 +    generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package.
60 +
61 + 13. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include
62 +    a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from
63 +    which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package
64 +    stored procedures are listed.
65 +
66 + 14. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting
67 +    for password on reconnect.
68 +
