92   21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table
93      is a System Table.
94  
95 < 22. FB3UserManager example added to illustrate use if IBX for managing user logins, passwords
96 <    and connections using IBX and with single or multiple security databases.
95 > 22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws and exception.
96 >    This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query.
97 >
98 > 23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to
99 >    add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using
100 >    an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a
101 >    database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db".
102 >
103 > 24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout.
104 >    This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response.
105 >
106 > 25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase.
107 >
108 > 26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local
109 >    databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory
110 >    (including trailing delimiter) or to a directory a prescribed data directory (including
111 >    trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory
112 >    in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned
113 >    from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'.
114 >    Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed
115 >    above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be
116 >    used to improve application portability.
117 >
118 > 27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef
119 >    this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be
120 >    managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields
121 >    editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor
122 >    is then displayed.
123 >

128 >     * PagesFree (Firebird 3 or later)
129 >     * PagesUsed (Firebird 3 or later)
130 >     * Encrypted (returns true if database encrypted. (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only)

139 >
140 > 32. TIBBackupService: New Option - NoDBTriggers equivalent to -nodbtriggers switch introduced
141 >    in the gbak utility at V.2.1 to prevent database-level and transaction-level triggers from
142 >    firing during backup and restore.
143 >
144 > 33. Both TIBBackupService and TIBRestoreService now support backup/restore statistics options
145 >    for verbose output using the new property "StatisticsRequested".
