1 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-3 Build 12875) Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:43:01 +0100
2 >
3 > 1. Add try-..except check when initially loading library in IDE. This should
4 > ensure that IDE continues to load even when a failure occurs in IBX load
5 > library.
6 >
7 > 2. IBXScript: now recognises a CASE...END block within a stored procedure and
8 >   hence will correctly detect end of the outer containing block when the block
9 >   contains a SELECT ... CASE ... END construct.
10 >
11 > 3. IBExtract: some further tidying up to remove extraneous white space.
12 >
13 > 4. IBCustomDataSet: DefaultFieldClasses array declaration updated to avoid compile time
14 >   errors when extra elements are added to DB.TFieldType.
15 >
16 > 5. IBUpdate: updated to reflect changes to ISQLParam.
17 >
18 > 6. IBXScript: now correctly parses a DECLARE statement which includes a quoted string.
19 >
20 > 7. IBExtract: for ODS >=13, increment generator value by one for ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
21 >
22 > 8. IBSQL: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
23 >
24 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-2 Build 12773) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:59:42 +0100
25 >
26 > 1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the
27 >   exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo.
28 >
29 > 2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added.
30 >
31 > 3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property
32 >   is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a
33 >   SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g.
34 >   as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE".
35 >
36 >   There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered
37 >   manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the
38 >   StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as
39 >   CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should
40 >   ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was
41 >   declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double
42 >   quotes).
43 >
44 >   Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes,
45 >   as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not
46 >   include the delimiters (double quotes).
47 >
48 > 4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in
49 >   upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem.
50 >
51 > 5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to
52 >   'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given
53 >   version no.) in the upgrade.conf file.
54 >
55 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-1 Build 12550) Wed, 23 Jun 2021 13:59:14 +0100
56 >
57 > 1. -c command line option added to fbsql example program. Used to set connection
58 >   character set.
59 >
60 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-0 Build 12543) Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:00:08 +0000
61 >
62 > 1. Firebird 4 support added.
63 >
64 > 2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
65 >   extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
66 >
67 > 3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
68 >
69 > 4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
70 >   and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
71 >
72 > 5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
73 >   - new data types as above
74 >   - Identity column extensions
75 >   - Default user role
76 >   - SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
77 >   - Internal Functions
78 >
79 > 6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
80 >
81 > 7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
82 >
83 > 8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
84 >   and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
85 >
86 > 9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
87 >   format for rendering a time zone.
88 >
89 > 10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
90 >     to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
91 >
92 > 11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
93 >    IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
94 >
95 > 12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
96 >    now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
97 >
98 > 13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
99 >    truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
100 >    white space to the maximum data size.
101 >
102 > 14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
103 >    table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
104 >    also empty.
105 >
106 > 15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
107 >
108 > 16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
109 >    connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
110 >
111 > 17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
112 >
113 > 18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
114 >
115 > 19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
116 >    not being present as required.
117 >
118 > 20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
119 >    version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
120 >
121 > 21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
122 >    unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
123 >
124 > 22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
125 >    seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
126 >
127 > 23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
128 >      property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
129 >      IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
130 >
131 > 24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.
132 >
133 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 12350) Tue, 25 Aug 2020 16:11:02 +0100
134 >
135 > 1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
136 >    number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
137 >    to the maximum string size. This is  usually a problem with fixed width columns
138 >    right padded with white space.
139 >
140 > 2.  SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset.
141 >    If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the
142 >    SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
143 >    ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
144 >    dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
145 >    on the dataset.
146 >
147 > 3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
148 >    side filters).
149 >
150 > 4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
151 >   text matches complete entry.
152 >
153 > 5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
154 >   dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
155 >
156 > 6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
157 >
158 > 7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
159 >   This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
160 >
161 > 8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
162 >   This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
163 >   a duplicate initial row.
164 >
165 > 9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
166 >   That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
167 >   value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
168 >   for the field.
169 >
170 > 10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
171 >
172 > 11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
173 >    and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
174 >    older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
175 >    upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
176 >    In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
177 >    added back in.
178 >
179 > 12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
180 >    false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
181 >
182 > 12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
183 >    should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
184 >    is cancelled.
185 >
186 > 13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
187 >    called on a null field.
188 >
189 > 14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
190 >    results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
191 > set.
192 >
193 > 15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
194 >    a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
195 >
196 > 16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
197 >
198 > 17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
199 >
200 > 18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
201 >    possible and an exception raised.
202 >
203 > 19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
204 >    below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
205 >
206 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-4 Build 12041) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:00:32 +0100
207 >
208 > 1.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
209 >    not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
210 >
211 > 2.  TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is
212 >    passed to the Firebird engine for execution.
213 >
214 > 3.  TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt
215 >    is made to scroll back.
216 >
217 > 4.  New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
218 >
219 > 5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
220 >   only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
221 >
222 > 6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
223 >   validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
224 >   been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
225 >   if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.
226 >
227 > 7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance
228 >   with fpc 3.2.
229 >
230 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-3 Build 11512) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000
231 >
232 >
233 > 1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
234 >   and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
235 >   includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
236 >   Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
237 >   For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
238 >
239 >   Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
240 >   over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
241 >   also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
242 >   "WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
243 >   compression to be used.
244 >
245 >   Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
246 >   returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
247 >   ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
248 >
249 > 2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
250 >   is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
251 >   ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
252 >
253 > 3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
254 >   not "INT64".
255 >
256 > 4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
257 >   These are:
258 >    property TimestampFormat: string;
259 >    property DateFormat: string;
260 >    property TimeFormat: string;
261 >
262 >   Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
263 >   DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
264 >   characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
265 >
266 >   If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
267 >   is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
268 >   locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
269 >
270 >   TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
271 >   two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
272 >
273 > 5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
274 >     property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
275 >
276 >   If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
277 >   used to delimit each and every string in the output.
278 >
279 > 6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
280 >    property FieldSeparator: string;
281 >    property HeaderSeparator: string;
282 >
283 >   Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
284 >   in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
285 >
286 > 7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
287 >    TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
288 >    property OnFormatTextString;
289 >
290 >   This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
291 >   in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
292 >   This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
293 >
294 > 8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
295 >   Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
296 >   and without raising and exception if it does not.
297 >
298 > 9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
299 >   consistency with SQL queries.
300 >
301 > 10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
302 >    When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
303 >    TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
304 >
305 > 11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
306 >    an IDE exception.
307 >
308 > 12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
309 >    when the schema source is an sql file.
310 >
311 > 13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
312 >    when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
313 >    initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
314 >    to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
315 >
316 > 14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
317 >    to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
318 >    Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
319 >    when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
320 >
321 > 15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
322 >    are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
323 >    the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
324 >    IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
325 >    completely ignored if this property is true.
326 >
327 > 16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
328 >    to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
329 >    ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
330 >
331 > 17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
332 >    read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
333 >    the same database connection.
334 >
335 > 18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
336 >    if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
337 >    including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
338 >    "Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
339 >    the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
340 >    in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
341 >
342 >    If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
343 >    and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
344 >
345 >    The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
346 >    value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
347 >
348 >    This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
349 >    use at run time.
350 >
351 >    Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
352 >    is unaffected by this change.
353 >
354 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
355 >
356 > 1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
357 >   IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
358 >   mode apps.
359 >
360 > 2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
361 >   statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
362 >
363 > 3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
364 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
365 >
366 > 4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
367 >   as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
368 >
369 > 5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
370 >
371 > 6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
372 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
373 >
374 > 7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
375 >    being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
376 >
377 > 8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
378 >   FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
379 >   the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
380 >
381 > 9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
382 >   is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
383 >   services connection.
384 >
385 > 10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
386 >   or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
387 >
388 > 11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
389 >    view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
390 >    TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
391 >    ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
392 >
393 > 12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
394 >    the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
395 >    must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
396 >    this setting.

405 > IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
406 > all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
407 >
408 > The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
409 > IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
410 > to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
411 > to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
412 > Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
413 > packages.
414 >
415 > 1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
416 >   the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
417 >   use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
418 >   more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
419 >   As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
420 >   provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
421 >   using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.

484 >    When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
485 >    through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)

490 >
491 >    Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
492 >    chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order

495 > 17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
496 >    with Extract Option eoDatabase.
497 >
498 > 18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
499 >    When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
500 >    combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
501 >    relationship with the control's datasource (master).
502 >
503 > 19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
504 >
505 > 20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
506 >    stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
507 >
508 > 21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
509 >    DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
510 >
511 > 22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
512 >    i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
513 >    ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
514 >    iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
515 >    iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
516 >        before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
517 >        no DataSource assigned.
518 >
519 > 23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
520 >    between SQL statements.
521 >
522 > 24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
523 >    ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
524 >    names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
525 >    double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
526 >    against the metadata object name.
527 >
528 >    If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
529 >    against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
530 >
531 > 25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
532 >    with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
533 >    or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
534 >
535 > 26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
536 >    statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
537 >
538 > 27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
539 >
540 > 28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
541 >    a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
542 >    is executed.
543 >
544 > 29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
545 >
546 > 30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
547 >    converting statement to upper case.
548 >
549 > 31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
550 >    IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
551 >    in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
552 >    ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
553 >
554 > 32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
555 >
556 > 33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string

672   26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local
673      databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory
674 <    (including trailing delimiter) or to a directory a prescribed data directory (including
674 >    (including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including
675      trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory
676      in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned
677      from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'.
678      Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed
679      above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be
680 <    used to improve application portability.
680 >    used to improve application portability for Personal Databases.

682   27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef
683      this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be
