2 >
3 > IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
4 > all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
5 >
6 > The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
7 > IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
8 > to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
9 > to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
10 > Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
11 > packages.
12 >
13 > 1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
14 >   the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
15 >   use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
16 >   more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
17 >   As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
18 >   provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
19 >   using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
20 >
21 > 2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
22 >   finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
23 >   not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
24 >   new set of IBX packages.
25 >
26 > 3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
27 >   updated to use the new Services API components.
28 >
29 > 4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
30 >
31 > 5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
32 >   TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
33 >   as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
34 >   correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
35 >   the setting has moved to the mappings page.
36 >
37 > 6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
38 >   are ignored.
39 >
40 > 7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
41 >   closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
42 >   are also fired.
43 >
44 > 8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
45 >   is started and not just the first time.
46 >
47 > 9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
48 >   depenendency with comp type.
49 >
50 > 10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
51 >
52 > 11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
53 >    then this is recognised and not ignored.
54 >
55 > 12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
56 >    function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
57 >    function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
58 >    property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
59 >
60 >    GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
61 >    if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
62 >    counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
63 >    the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
64 >    and then GetPerfStatistics.
65 >
66 >    See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
67 >
68 > 13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
69 >    in parenthesises.
70 >
71 > 14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
72 >    SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
73 >    only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
74 >    characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
75 >
76 > 15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
77 >    are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
78 >
79 > 16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
80 >       property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
81 >
82 >    When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
83 >    through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
84 >    then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
85 >    row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
86 >    is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
87 >    to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
88 >
89 >    Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
90 >    chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
91 >    to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
92 >
93 > 17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
94 >    with Extract Option eoDatabase.
95 >
96 > 18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
97 >    When a deLaoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
98 >    combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
99 >    relationship with the control's datasource (master).
100 >
