3	>	1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
4	>	IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
5	>	mode apps.
6	>
7	>	2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
8	>	statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
9	>
10	>	3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
11	>	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
12	>
13	>	4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
14	>	as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
15	>
16	>	5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
17	>
18	>	6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
19	>	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
20	>
21	>	7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
22	>	being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
23	>
24	>	8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
25	>	FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
26	>	the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
27	>
28	>	9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
29	>	is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
30	>	services connection.
31	>
32	>	10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
33	>	or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
34	>
35	>	11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
36	>	view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
37	>	TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
38	>	ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
39	>
40	>	12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
41	>	the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
42	>	must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
43	>	this setting.

47	>	1. IBCustomDataset: replace deprecated function ValidUTF8String with call to
48	>	Utf8EscapeControlChars

51	>
52	>	IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
53	>	all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
54	>
55	>	The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
56	>	IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
57	>	to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
58	>	to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
59	>	Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
60	>	packages.
61	>
62	>	1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
63	>	the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
64	>	use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
65	>	more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
66	>	As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
67	>	provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
68	>	using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
69	>
70	>	2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
71	>	finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
72	>	not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
73	>	new set of IBX packages.
74	>
75	>	3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
76	>	updated to use the new Services API components.
77	>
78	>	4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
79	>
80	>	5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
81	>	TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
82	>	as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
83	>	correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
84	>	the setting has moved to the mappings page.
85	>
86	>	6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
87	>	are ignored.
88	>
89	>	7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
90	>	closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
91	>	are also fired.
92	>
93	>	8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
94	>	is started and not just the first time.
95	>
96	>	9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
97	>	depenendency with comp type.
98	>
99	>	10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
100	>
101	>	11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
102	>	then this is recognised and not ignored.
103	>
104	>	12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
105	>	function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
106	>	function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
107	>	property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
108	>
109	>	GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
110	>	if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
111	>	counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
112	>	the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
113	>	and then GetPerfStatistics.
114	>
115	>	See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
116	>
117	>	13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
118	>	in parenthesises.
119	>
120	>	14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
121	>	SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
122	>	only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
123	>	characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
124	>
125	>	15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
126	>	are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
127	>
128	>	16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
129	>	property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
130	>
131	>	When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
132	>	through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
133	>	then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
134	>	row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
135	>	is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
136	>	to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
137	>
138	>	Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
139	>	chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
140	>	to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
141	>
142	>	17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
143	>	with Extract Option eoDatabase.
144	>
145	>	18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
146	>	When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
147	>	combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
148	>	relationship with the control's datasource (master).
149	>
150	>	19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
151	>
152	>	20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
153	>	stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
154	>
155	>	21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
156	>	DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
157	>
158	>	22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
159	>	i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
160	>	ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
161	>	iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
162	>	iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
163	>	before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
164	>	no DataSource assigned.
165	>
166	>	23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
167	>	between SQL statements.
168	>
169	>	24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
170	>	ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
171	>	names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
172	>	double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
173	>	against the metadata object name.
174	>
175	>	If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
176	>	against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
177	>
178	>	25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
179	>	with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
180	>	or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
181	>
182	>	26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
183	>	statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
184	>
185	>	27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
186	>
187	>	28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
188	>	a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
189	>	is executed.
190	>
191	>	29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
192	>
193	>	30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
194	>	converting statement to upper case.
195	>
196	>	31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
197	>	IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
198	>	in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
199	>	ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
200	>
201	>	32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
202	>
203	>	33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
204	>	types.
