3	>	1. TIBCustomDataSet.ApplyUpdates: ensure controls are not permanently disabled
4	>	if ApplyUpdates called before a cursor exists.
5	>
6	>	2. TIBCustomDataSet.CreateBlobStream: add check for empty dataset before
7	>	creating the blob.
8	>
9	>	3. TIBCustomDataset.Requery: The display buffer pool is now also reset avoiding
10	>	issues with left over pointers to invalid internal buffers.
11	>
12	>	4. TIBCustomDataset.PrimaryKeys when used in InternalRefresh. when more than one
13	>	primary key is used by the dataset then the list of primary keys is now
14	>	properly separated by a ';'.
15	>
16	>	5. When refresh is called for a dataset without any primary keys (e.g. views and
17	>	stored procedures), the internal record number is now used to restore the cursor
18	>	following the refresh. However, it should be noted that cannot be 100% reliable.
19	>	The internal record number simply reflects the record fetch order and this can
20	>	change between successive queries if records are inserted or deleted by the
21	>	current or another user (if the read_committed transaction isolation level is used).
22	>
23	>	6. Inserting a record at the start of a grid and then resizing the grid should
24	>	no longer result in an apparent duplication of records in the grid. Note: this
25	>	was due to TDataset.SetCurrentRecord ignoring the bookmark flag (bfInserted). IBX
26	>	works around this by no longer using this bookmark flag value.
27	>
28	>	7. Inserting a record into an empty grid and then resizing the grid should
29	>	no longer result in an apparent duplication of records in the grid.
30	>
31	>	8. IBBufferedCursor. FCurrentRecordStatus now set correctly when selecting a
32	>	specific record number.
33	>
34	>	9. IBCustomDataset: Calls to AfterScroll during a Locate operation are now suppressed
35	>	until the end of the locate operation.

38	>
39	>	1. Update to calls to EInterbaseError to add default code page. Consequential
40	>	on change to fbintf.
41	>
42	>	2. Update some examples to replace test for null date with the NullDate constant
43	>	instead of zero. This is because Laz 3.0 changes the value of NullDate.

46	>
47	>	1. Fixed repeated "type" keyword in IBBufferCursors. This may cause a compile error
48	>	with later versions of fpc - later than 3.2.2.
49	>
50	>	2. IBUpdateSQL. update internal queries if parent dataset database changed.
51	>
52	>	3. IBUpdateSQL: Do not prepare an empty internal query.
53	>
54	>	4. IBBufferedCursors: avoid range error when max field no. is > fields.count
55	>
56	>	5. IBBufferedCursors: avoid End of File error if refresh query returns and empty row count

69	>
70	>	NOTE: THIS VERSION RE-WRITES THE INTERNAL BUFFER MANAGER AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
71	>	AS BETA SOFTWARE. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS PASSED ALL REGRESSION TESTS, IT CANNOT
72	>	BE ASSUMED TO BE PRODUCTION READY UNTIL WIDER USE. PLEASE REPORT ANY
73	>	ISSUES TO support@mwasoftware.co.uk
74	>
75	>	1. Complete rewrite of internal buffer management in order to improve performance
76	>	and maintainability. Highlights:
77	>
78	>	* Extending the size of the buffer pool no longer has to copy the entire record
79	>	cache. Instead, a new extent is simply added to the buffer pool.
80	>	* A memory to memory copy of each display buffer now is avoided when scolling the
81	>	dataset.
82	>	* A separate set of buffers is now used for calculated fields. This avoids
83	>	having to keep copies of calculated field values in the buffer cache.
84	>	* Compact bitmaps are used to record null status and need to refresh in each
85	>	buffer.
86	>	* Display buffer type changed from PChar to TRecordBuffer in line with change of
87	>	buffer type in FCL-DB.
88	>
89	>	2. TIBUpdateSQL: changes to SQL text will close linked dataset if open. This is
90	>	to ensure same behaviour as TIBDataset, TIBTable and TIBStoredProcedure.
91	>
92	>	3. TField Provider Flags: pfRefreshOnInsert and pfRefreshOnUpdate are now supported.
93	>	If either or both of these flags are set at design time (using the fields editor)
94	>	then this forces a row refresh on respectively insert or update, or both, when the
95	>	corresponding field is not present in an SQL RETURNING clause.
96	>
97	>	4. TIBCustomDataset.FieldDefsFromQuery moved to a helper class (TFieldDefsMaker) in order to improve
98	>	maintainability and readability and to add identification of primary key fields.
99	>
100	>	5. TIBQuery, TIBDataset and TIBTable. Traditionally, IBX has implemented the Refresh method
101	>	as a refresh of the current row. However, this is different behaviour to that described
102	>	in the FPC documentation for TDataset.Refresh which is described as "refetches the data in
103	>	the dataset from the underlying database, and attempts to reposition the cursor on
104	>	the same record as it was". IBX now complies with the FPC definition of Refresh.
105	>
106	>	6. A progammatic Row Refresh should no longer be required.
107	>	Use Insert/Update... returning to refresh any fields that may change following an
108	>	insert or update i.e. Identify fields on Insert only, Computed By, Blob and array fields
109	>	on both. If there are any other fields (e.g. updated by triggers) set the appropriate ProviderFlag
110	>	for the field at Design Time to force a row refresh if not in the returning clause.
111	>
112	>	7. It should now be possible to insert a row into an empty unidirectional dataset.
113	>
114	>	8. New TIBQuery, TIBDataSet and TIBTable property: BufferChunksInFirstBlock (default 50).
115	>	This gives the number of buffers in the initial block for the buffer pool in
116	>	bi-directional datasets. BufferChunks (default 1000) gives the number of buffers
117	>	in subsequent buffer pool blocks. This avoids large and mostly unused memory allocations
118	>	for small datasets.
119	>
120	>	IBX Change Log  version (2.5-1 Build 13927) Tue, 6 Dec 2022 23:13:00 +0000
121	>
122	>	1. IBCustomDataset: avoid problem with additions to TFieldType by using a subset instead.
123	>
124	>	2. TIBDynamicGrid: change DrawCellText declaration to comply with laz 2.3.0
125	>
126	>	3. TIBArrayGrid: change DrawCellText declaration to comply with laz 2.3.0
127	>
128	>	IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 13868) Fri, 29 Jul 2022 09:52:01 +0100
129	>
130	>	1. TIBTransaction: new properties
131	>	property TransactionID: integer read GetTransactionID;
132	>	property IsReadOnly: boolean read GetIsReadOnly;
133	>	{published}
134	>	property TransactionName: string read FTransactionName write SetTransactionName;
135	>
136	>	2. IBCustomDataset: per row blob and array buffer cached clear before processing
137	>	Insert or Update...Returning. This allows blobs and arrays to be returned
138	>	by the statement.
139	>
140	>	3. TSQLXMLReader moved from IBXScript to package fbintf unit IBUtils.
141	>
142	>	4. TransactionName initialised to a newly generated GUID if empty.
143	>
144	>	5. New unit: IBJournal. This provides the TIBJournal component which is a wrapper
145	>	for the fbintf package's journaling capability. TIBJournal is used to set the
146	>	file path and filename for the journal file and to Enabled (start journaling) and
147	>	disable (stop journaling). See fbintf/doc/README.ClientSideJournaling.pdf for
148	>	more information, and comments in IBJournal.pas.
149	>
150	>	6. TIBDatabase.InternalTransaction is now a read only transaction.
151	>
152	>	7. Bug fix: blob id no longer set to null on update when blob has not been
153	>	retrieved.
154	>
155	>	8. Row auto refreshed on update/insert if blob or array field updated and field
156	>	not in a returning clause.
157	>
158	>	9. ColumnCount moved from record buffer header to a single per dataset count. Reduces
159	>	buffer overhead and avoids problem when refresh query has a different column
160	>	count to select query i.e. incorrectly changing number of columns.
161	>
162	>	10. IBExtract: support added for UDR Functions, Procedure and Trigger declarations.
163	>
164	>	11. TIBDatabaseInfo. New property FirebirdVersion. This returns the current Firebird version
165	>	string. Note that the Version property returns an InterBase compatible version string.
166	>
167	>	12. IBExtract: ensure sql identifiers returned as a LIST are always quoted.
168	>
169	>	IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 12933) Mon, 29 Nov 2021 14:59:54 +0000
170	>
171	>	1. IBCustomDataset: Modify TISQL component now defaults to GoToFirstRecordOnExecute := true.
172	>	This is for compatibility with Firebird 5 where Update...Returning can return
173	>	a cursor.
174	>
175	>	IBX Change Log  version (2.4-3 Build 12886) Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:58:30 +0100
176	>
177	>	1. Add try-..except check when initially loading library in IDE. This should
178	>	ensure that IDE continues to load even when a failure occurs in IBX load
179	>	library.
180	>
181	>	2. IBXScript: now recognises a CASE...END block within a stored procedure and
182	>	hence will correctly detect end of the outer containing block when the block
183	>	contains a SELECT ... CASE ... END construct.
184	>
185	>	3. IBExtract: some further tidying up to remove extraneous white space.
186	>
187	>	4. IBCustomDataSet: DefaultFieldClasses array declaration updated to avoid compile time
188	>	errors when extra elements are added to DB.TFieldType.
189	>
190	>	5. IBUpdate: updated to reflect changes to ISQLParam.
191	>
192	>	6. IBXScript: now correctly parses a DECLARE statement which includes a quoted string.
193	>
194	>	7. IBExtract: for ODS >=13, increment generator value by one for ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
195	>
196	>	8. IBSQL: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
197	>
198	>	IBX Change Log  version (2.4-2 Build 12773) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:59:42 +0100
199	>
200	>	1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the
201	>	exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo.
202	>
203	>	2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added.
204	>
205	>	3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property
206	>	is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a
207	>	SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g.
208	>	as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE".
209	>
210	>	There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered
211	>	manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the
212	>	StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as
213	>	CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should
214	>	ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was
215	>	declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double
216	>	quotes).
217	>
218	>	Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes,
219	>	as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not
220	>	include the delimiters (double quotes).
221	>
222	>	4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in
223	>	upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem.
224	>
225	>	5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to
226	>	'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given
227	>	version no.) in the upgrade.conf file.
228	>
229	>	IBX Change Log  version (2.4-1 Build 12550) Wed, 23 Jun 2021 13:59:14 +0100
230	>
231	>	1. -c command line option added to fbsql example program. Used to set connection
232	>	character set.
233	>
234	>	IBX Change Log  version (2.4-0 Build 12543) Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:00:08 +0000
235	>
236	>	1. Firebird 4 support added.
237	>
238	>	2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
239	>	extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
240	>
241	>	3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
242	>
243	>	4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
244	>	and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
245	>
246	>	5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
247	>	- new data types as above
248	>	- Identity column extensions
249	>	- Default user role
250	>	- SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
251	>	- Internal Functions
252	>
253	>	6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
254	>
255	>	7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
256	>
257	>	8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
258	>	and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
259	>
260	>	9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
261	>	format for rendering a time zone.
262	>
263	>	10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
264	>	to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
265	>
266	>	11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
267	>	IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
268	>
269	>	12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
270	>	now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
271	>
272	>	13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
273	>	truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
274	>	white space to the maximum data size.
275	>
276	>	14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
277	>	table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
278	>	also empty.
279	>
280	>	15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
281	>
282	>	16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
283	>	connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
284	>
285	>	17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
286	>
287	>	18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
288	>
289	>	19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
290	>	not being present as required.
291	>
292	>	20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
293	>	version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
294	>
295	>	21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
296	>	unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
297	>
298	>	22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
299	>	seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
300	>
301	>	23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
302	>	property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
303	>	IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
304	>
305	>	24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.

308	>
309	>	1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
310	>	number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
311	>	to the maximum string size. This is  usually a problem with fixed width columns
312	>	right padded with white space.
313	>
314	>	2.  SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset.
315	>	If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the
316	>	SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
317	>	ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
318	>	dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
319	>	on the dataset.
320	>
321	>	3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
322	>	side filters).
323	>
324	>	4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
325	>	text matches complete entry.
326	>
327	>	5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
328	>	dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
329	>
330	>	6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
331	>
332	>	7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
333	>	This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
334	>
335	>	8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
336	>	This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
337	>	a duplicate initial row.
338	>
339	>	9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
340	>	That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
341	>	value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
342	>	for the field.
343	>
344	>	10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
345	>
346	>	11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
347	>	and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
348	>	older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
349	>	upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
350	>	In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
351	>	added back in.
352	>
353	>	12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
354	>	false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
355	>
356	>	12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
357	>	should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
358	>	is cancelled.
359	>
360	>	13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
361	>	called on a null field.
362	>
363	>	14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
364	>	results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
365	>	set.
366	>
367	>	15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
368	>	a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
369	>
370	>	16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
371	>
372	>	17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
373	>
374	>	18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
375	>	possible and an exception raised.
376	>
377	>	19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
378	>	below this version no. and upgrade not possible.

382	>	1.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
383	>	not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
384	>
385	>	2.  TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is

387	>
388	>	3.  TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt

390	>
391	>	4.  New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
392	>
393	>	5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
394	>	only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
395	>
396	>	6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
397	>	validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
398	>	been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
399	>	if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.

405	>
406	>
407	>	1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
408	>	and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
409	>	includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
410	>	Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
411	>	For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
412	>
413	>	Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
414	>	over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
415	>	also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
416	>	"WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
417	>	compression to be used.
418	>
419	>	Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
420	>	returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
421	>	ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
422	>
423	>	2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
424	>	is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
425	>	ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
426	>
427	>	3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
428	>	not "INT64".
429	>
430	>	4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
431	>	These are:
432	>	property TimestampFormat: string;
433	>	property DateFormat: string;
434	>	property TimeFormat: string;
435	>
436	>	Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
437	>	DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
438	>	characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
439	>
440	>	If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
441	>	is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
442	>	locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
443	>
444	>	TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
445	>	two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
446	>
447	>	5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
448	>	property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
449	>
450	>	If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
451	>	used to delimit each and every string in the output.
452	>
453	>	6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
454	>	property FieldSeparator: string;
455	>	property HeaderSeparator: string;
456	>
457	>	Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
458	>	in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
459	>
460	>	7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
461	>	TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
462	>	property OnFormatTextString;
463	>
464	>	This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
465	>	in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
466	>	This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
467	>
468	>	8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
469	>	Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
470	>	and without raising and exception if it does not.
471	>
472	>	9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
473	>	consistency with SQL queries.
474	>
475	>	10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
476	>	When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
477	>	TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
478	>
479	>	11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
480	>	an IDE exception.
481	>
482	>	12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
483	>	when the schema source is an sql file.
484	>
485	>	13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
486	>	when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
487	>	initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
488	>	to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
489	>
490	>	14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
491	>	to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
492	>	Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
493	>	when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
494	>
495	>	15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
496	>	are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
497	>	the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
498	>	IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
499	>	completely ignored if this property is true.
500	>
501	>	16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
502	>	to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
503	>	ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
504	>
505	>	17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
506	>	read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
507	>	the same database connection.
508	>
509	>	18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
510	>	if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
511	>	including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
512	>	"Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
513	>	the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
514	>	in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
515	>
516	>	If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
517	>	and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
518	>
519	>	The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
520	>	value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
521	>
522	>	This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
523	>	use at run time.
524	>
525	>	Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
526	>	is unaffected by this change.
527	>
528	>	IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
529	>
530	>	1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
531	>	IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
532	>	mode apps.
533	>
534	>	2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
535	>	statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
536	>
537	>	3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
538	>	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
539	>
540	>	4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
541	>	as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
542	>
543	>	5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
544	>
545	>	6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
546	>	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
547	>
548	>	7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
549	>	being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
550	>
551	>	8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
552	>	FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
553	>	the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
554	>
555	>	9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
556	>	is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
557	>	services connection.
558	>
559	>	10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
560	>	or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
561	>
562	>	11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
563	>	view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
564	>	TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
565	>	ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
566	>
567	>	12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
568	>	the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
569	>	must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
570	>	this setting.

579	>	IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
580	>	all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
581	>
582	>	The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
583	>	IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
584	>	to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
585	>	to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
586	>	Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
587	>	packages.
588	>
589	>	1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
590	>	the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
591	>	use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
592	>	more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
593	>	As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
594	>	provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
595	>	using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
596	>
597	>	2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
598	>	finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
599	>	not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
600	>	new set of IBX packages.
601	>
602	>	3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
603	>	updated to use the new Services API components.
604	>
605	>	4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
606	>
607	>	5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
608	>	TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
609	>	as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
610	>	correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
611	>	the setting has moved to the mappings page.
612	>
613	>	6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
614	>	are ignored.
615	>
616	>	7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
617	>	closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
618	>	are also fired.
619	>
620	>	8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
621	>	is started and not just the first time.
622	>
623	>	9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
624	>	depenendency with comp type.
625	>
626	>	10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
627	>
628	>	11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
629	>	then this is recognised and not ignored.
630	>
631	>	12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
632	>	function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
633	>	function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
634	>	property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
635	>
636	>	GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
637	>	if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
638	>	counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
639	>	the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
640	>	and then GetPerfStatistics.
641	>
642	>	See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
643	>
644	>	13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
645	>	in parenthesises.
646	>
647	>	14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
648	>	SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
649	>	only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
650	>	characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
651	>
652	>	15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
653	>	are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
654	>
655	>	16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
656	>	property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
657	>
658	>	When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
659	>	through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
660	>	then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
661	>	row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
662	>	is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
663	>	to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
664	>
665	>	Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
666	>	chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
667	>	to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
668	>
669	>	17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
670	>	with Extract Option eoDatabase.
671	>
672	>	18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
673	>	When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
674	>	combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
675	>	relationship with the control's datasource (master).
676	>
677	>	19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
678	>
679	>	20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
680	>	stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
681	>
682	>	21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
683	>	DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
684	>
685	>	22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
686	>	i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
687	>	ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
688	>	iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
689	>	iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
690	>	before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
691	>	no DataSource assigned.
692	>
693	>	23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
694	>	between SQL statements.
695	>
696	>	24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
697	>	ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
698	>	names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
699	>	double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
700	>	against the metadata object name.
701	>
702	>	If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
703	>	against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
704	>
705	>	25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
706	>	with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
707	>	or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
708	>
709	>	26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
710	>	statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
711	>
712	>	27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
713	>
714	>	28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
715	>	a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
716	>	is executed.
717	>
718	>	29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
719	>
720	>	30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
721	>	converting statement to upper case.
722	>
723	>	31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
724	>	IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
725	>	in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
726	>	ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
727	>
728	>	32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
729	>
730	>	33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
731	>	types.

845	>
846	>	26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local
847	>	databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory
848	>	(including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including
849	>	trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory
850	>	in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned
851	>	from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'.
852	>	Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed
853	>	above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be
854	>	used to improve application portability for Personal Databases.
855	>
856	>	27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef
857	>	this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be
858	>	managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields
859	>	editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor
860	>	is then displayed.
