3 > NOTE: THIS VERSION RE-WRITES THE INTERNAL BUFFER MANAGER AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
4 >      AS BETA SOFTWARE. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS PASSED ALL REGRESSION TESTS, IT CANNOT
5 >      BE ASSUMED TO BE PRODUCTION READY UNTIL WIDER USE. PLEASE REPORT ANY
6 >      ISSUES TO support@mwasoftware.co.uk
7 >
8 > 1. Complete rewrite of internal buffer management in order to improve performance
9 >   and maintainability. Highlights:
10 >
11 >   * Extending the size of the buffer pool no longer has to copy the entire record
12 >     cache. Instead, a new extent is simply added to the buffer pool.
13 >   * A memory to memory copy of each display buffer now is avoided when scolling the
14 >     dataset.
15 >   * A separate set of buffers is now used for calculated fields. This avoids
16 >     having to keep copies of calculated field values in the buffer cache.
17 >   * Compact bitmaps are used to record null status and need to refresh in each
18 >     buffer.
19 >   * Display buffer type changed from PChar to TRecordBuffer in line with change of
20 >     buffer type in FCL-DB.
21 >
22 > 2. TIBUpdateSQL: changes to SQL text will close linked dataset if open. This is
23 >   to ensure same behaviour as TIBDataset, TIBTable and TIBStoredProcedure.
24 >
25 > 3. TField Provider Flags: pfRefreshOnInsert and pfRefreshOnUpdate are now supported.
26 >   If either or both of these flags are set at design time (using the fields editor)
27 >   then this forces a row refresh on respectively insert or update, or both, when the
28 >   corresponding field is not present in an SQL RETURNING clause.
29 >
30 > 4. TIBCustomDataset.FieldDefsFromQuery moved to a helper class (TFieldDefsMaker) in order to improve
31 >   maintainability and readability and to add identification of primary key fields.
32 >
33 > 5. TIBQuery, TIBDataset and TIBTable. Traditionally, IBX has implemented the Refresh method
34 >   as a refresh of the current row. However, this is different behaviour to that described
35 >   in the FPC documentation for TDataset.Refresh which is described as "refetches the data in
36 >   the dataset from the underlying database, and attempts to reposition the cursor on
37 >   the same record as it was". IBX now complies with the FPC definition of Refresh.
38 >
39 > 6. A progammatic Row Refresh should no longer be required.
40 >   Use Insert/Update... returning to refresh any fields that may change following an
41 >   insert or update i.e. Identify fields on Insert only, Computed By, Blob and array fields
42 >   on both. If there are any other fields (e.g. updated by triggers) set the appropriate ProviderFlag
43 >   for the field at Design Time to force a row refresh if not in the returning clause.
44 >
45 > 7. It should now be possible to insert a row into an empty unidirectional dataset.
46 >
47 > 8. New TIBQuery, TIBDataSet and TIBTable property: BufferChunksInFirstBlock (default 50).
48 >   This gives the number of buffers in the initial block for the buffer pool in
49 >   bi-directional datasets. BufferChunks (default 1000) gives the number of buffers
50 >   in subsequent buffer pool blocks. This avoids large and mostly unused memory allocations
51 >   for small datasets.
52 >
53 > IBX Change Log  version (2.5-1 Build 13927) Tue, 6 Dec 2022 23:13:00 +0000
54 >
55 > 1. IBCustomDataset: avoid problem with additions to TFieldType by using a subset instead.
56 >
57 > 2. TIBDynamicGrid: change DrawCellText declaration to comply with laz 2.3.0
58 >
59 > 3. TIBArrayGrid: change DrawCellText declaration to comply with laz 2.3.0
60 >
61 > IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 13868) Fri, 29 Jul 2022 09:52:01 +0100
62 >
63 > 1. TIBTransaction: new properties
64 >    property TransactionID: integer read GetTransactionID;
65 >    property IsReadOnly: boolean read GetIsReadOnly;
66 >    {published}
67 >    property TransactionName: string read FTransactionName write SetTransactionName;
68 >
69 > 2. IBCustomDataset: per row blob and array buffer cached clear before processing
70 >   Insert or Update...Returning. This allows blobs and arrays to be returned
71 >   by the statement.
72 >
73 > 3. TSQLXMLReader moved from IBXScript to package fbintf unit IBUtils.
74 >
75 > 4. TransactionName initialised to a newly generated GUID if empty.
76 >
77 > 5. New unit: IBJournal. This provides the TIBJournal component which is a wrapper
78 >   for the fbintf package's journaling capability. TIBJournal is used to set the
79 >   file path and filename for the journal file and to Enabled (start journaling) and
80 >   disable (stop journaling). See fbintf/doc/README.ClientSideJournaling.pdf for
81 >   more information, and comments in IBJournal.pas.
82 >
83 > 6. TIBDatabase.InternalTransaction is now a read only transaction.
84 >
85 > 7. Bug fix: blob id no longer set to null on update when blob has not been
86 >   retrieved.
87 >
88 > 8. Row auto refreshed on update/insert if blob or array field updated and field
89 >   not in a returning clause.
90 >
91 > 9. ColumnCount moved from record buffer header to a single per dataset count. Reduces
92 >   buffer overhead and avoids problem when refresh query has a different column
93 >   count to select query i.e. incorrectly changing number of columns.
94 >
95 > 10. IBExtract: support added for UDR Functions, Procedure and Trigger declarations.
96 >
97 > 11. TIBDatabaseInfo. New property FirebirdVersion. This returns the current Firebird version
98 >    string. Note that the Version property returns an InterBase compatible version string.
99 >
100 > 12. IBExtract: ensure sql identifiers returned as a LIST are always quoted.
101 >
102 > IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 12933) Mon, 29 Nov 2021 14:59:54 +0000
103 >
104 > 1. IBCustomDataset: Modify TISQL component now defaults to GoToFirstRecordOnExecute := true.
105 >   This is for compatibility with Firebird 5 where Update...Returning can return
106 >   a cursor.
107 >
108 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-3 Build 12886) Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:58:30 +0100
109 >
110 > 1. Add try-..except check when initially loading library in IDE. This should
111 > ensure that IDE continues to load even when a failure occurs in IBX load
112 > library.
113 >
114 > 2. IBXScript: now recognises a CASE...END block within a stored procedure and
115 >   hence will correctly detect end of the outer containing block when the block
116 >   contains a SELECT ... CASE ... END construct.
117 >
118 > 3. IBExtract: some further tidying up to remove extraneous white space.
119 >
120 > 4. IBCustomDataSet: DefaultFieldClasses array declaration updated to avoid compile time
121 >   errors when extra elements are added to DB.TFieldType.
122 >
123 > 5. IBUpdate: updated to reflect changes to ISQLParam.
124 >
125 > 6. IBXScript: now correctly parses a DECLARE statement which includes a quoted string.
126 >
127 > 7. IBExtract: for ODS >=13, increment generator value by one for ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
128 >
129 > 8. IBSQL: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
130 >
131 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-2 Build 12773) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:59:42 +0100
132 >
133 > 1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the
134 >   exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo.
135 >
136 > 2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added.
137 >
138 > 3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property
139 >   is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a
140 >   SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g.
141 >   as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE".
142 >
143 >   There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered
144 >   manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the
145 >   StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as
146 >   CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should
147 >   ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was
148 >   declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double
149 >   quotes).
150 >
151 >   Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes,
152 >   as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not
153 >   include the delimiters (double quotes).
154 >
155 > 4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in
156 >   upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem.
157 >
158 > 5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to
159 >   'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given
160 >   version no.) in the upgrade.conf file.
161 >
162 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-1 Build 12550) Wed, 23 Jun 2021 13:59:14 +0100
163 >
164 > 1. -c command line option added to fbsql example program. Used to set connection
165 >   character set.
166 >
167 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-0 Build 12543) Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:00:08 +0000
168 >
169 > 1. Firebird 4 support added.
170 >
171 > 2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
172 >   extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
173 >
174 > 3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
175 >
176 > 4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
177 >   and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
178 >
179 > 5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
180 >   - new data types as above
181 >   - Identity column extensions
182 >   - Default user role
183 >   - SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
184 >   - Internal Functions
185 >
186 > 6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
187 >
188 > 7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
189 >
190 > 8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
191 >   and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
192 >
193 > 9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
194 >   format for rendering a time zone.
195 >
196 > 10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
197 >     to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
198 >
199 > 11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
200 >    IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
201 >
202 > 12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
203 >    now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
204 >
205 > 13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
206 >    truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
207 >    white space to the maximum data size.
208 >
209 > 14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
210 >    table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
211 >    also empty.
212 >
213 > 15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
214 >
215 > 16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
216 >    connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
217 >
218 > 17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
219 >
220 > 18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
221 >
222 > 19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
223 >    not being present as required.
224 >
225 > 20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
226 >    version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
227 >
228 > 21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
229 >    unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
230 >
231 > 22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
232 >    seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
233 >
234 > 23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
235 >      property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
236 >      IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
237 >
238 > 24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.
239 >
240 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 12350) Tue, 25 Aug 2020 16:11:02 +0100
241 >
242 > 1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
243 >    number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
244 >    to the maximum string size. This is  usually a problem with fixed width columns
245 >    right padded with white space.
246 >
247 > 2.  SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset.
248 >    If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the
249 >    SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
250 >    ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
251 >    dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
252 >    on the dataset.
253 >
254 > 3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
255 >    side filters).
256 >
257 > 4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
258 >   text matches complete entry.
259 >
260 > 5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
261 >   dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
262 >
263 > 6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
264 >
265 > 7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
266 >   This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
267 >
268 > 8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
269 >   This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
270 >   a duplicate initial row.
271 >
272 > 9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
273 >   That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
274 >   value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
275 >   for the field.
276 >
277 > 10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
278 >
279 > 11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
280 >    and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
281 >    older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
282 >    upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
283 >    In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
284 >    added back in.
285 >
286 > 12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
287 >    false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
288 >
289 > 12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
290 >    should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
291 >    is cancelled.
292 >
293 > 13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
294 >    called on a null field.
295 >
296 > 14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
297 >    results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
298 > set.
299 >
300 > 15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
301 >    a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
302 >
303 > 16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
304 >
305 > 17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
306 >
307 > 18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
308 >    possible and an exception raised.
309 >
310 > 19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
311 >    below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
312 >
313 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-4 Build 12041) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:00:32 +0100
314 >
315 > 1.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
316 >    not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
317 >
318 > 2.  TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is
319 >    passed to the Firebird engine for execution.
320 >
321 > 3.  TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt
322 >    is made to scroll back.
323 >
324 > 4.  New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
325 >
326 > 5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
327 >   only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
328 >
329 > 6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
330 >   validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
331 >   been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
332 >   if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.
333 >
334 > 7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance
335 >   with fpc 3.2.
336 >
337 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-3 Build 11512) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000
338 >
339 >
340 > 1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
341 >   and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
342 >   includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
343 >   Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
344 >   For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
345 >
346 >   Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
347 >   over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
348 >   also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
349 >   "WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
350 >   compression to be used.
351 >
352 >   Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
353 >   returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
354 >   ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
355 >
356 > 2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
357 >   is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
358 >   ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
359 >
360 > 3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
361 >   not "INT64".
362 >
363 > 4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
364 >   These are:
365 >    property TimestampFormat: string;
366 >    property DateFormat: string;
367 >    property TimeFormat: string;
368 >
369 >   Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
370 >   DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
371 >   characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
372 >
373 >   If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
374 >   is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
375 >   locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
376 >
377 >   TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
378 >   two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
379 >
380 > 5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
381 >     property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
382 >
383 >   If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
384 >   used to delimit each and every string in the output.
385 >
386 > 6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
387 >    property FieldSeparator: string;
388 >    property HeaderSeparator: string;
389 >
390 >   Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
391 >   in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
392 >
393 > 7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
394 >    TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
395 >    property OnFormatTextString;
396 >
397 >   This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
398 >   in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
399 >   This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
400 >
401 > 8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
402 >   Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
403 >   and without raising and exception if it does not.
404 >
405 > 9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
406 >   consistency with SQL queries.
407 >
408 > 10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
409 >    When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
410 >    TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
411 >
412 > 11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
413 >    an IDE exception.
414 >
415 > 12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
416 >    when the schema source is an sql file.
417 >
418 > 13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
419 >    when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
420 >    initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
421 >    to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
422 >
423 > 14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
424 >    to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
425 >    Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
426 >    when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
427 >
428 > 15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
429 >    are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
430 >    the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
431 >    IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
432 >    completely ignored if this property is true.
433 >
434 > 16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
435 >    to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
436 >    ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
437 >
438 > 17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
439 >    read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
440 >    the same database connection.
441 >
442 > 18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
443 >    if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
444 >    including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
445 >    "Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
446 >    the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
447 >    in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
448 >
449 >    If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
450 >    and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
451 >
452 >    The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
453 >    value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
454 >
455 >    This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
456 >    use at run time.
457 >
458 >    Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
459 >    is unaffected by this change.

463 > 1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
464 >   IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
465 >   mode apps.
466 >
467 > 2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
468 >   statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
469 >
470 > 3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
471 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
472 >
473 > 4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
474 >   as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
475 >
476 > 5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
477 >
478 > 6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
479 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
480 >
481 > 7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
482 >    being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
483 >
484 > 8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
485 >   FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
486 >   the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
487 >
488 > 9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
489 >   is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
490 >   services connection.
491 >
492 > 10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
493 >   or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
494 >
495 > 11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
496 >    view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
497 >    TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
498 >    ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
499 >
500 > 12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
501 >    the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
502 >    must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
503 >    this setting.

604  
605   18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
606 <    When a deLaoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
606 >    When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
607      combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
608      relationship with the control's datasource (master).
609  
610 + 19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
611 +
612 + 20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
613 +    stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
614 +
615 + 21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
616 +    DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
617 +
618 + 22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
619 +    i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
620 +    ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
621 +    iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
622 +    iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
623 +        before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
624 +        no DataSource assigned.
625 +
626 + 23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
627 +    between SQL statements.
628 +
629 + 24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
630 +    ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
631 +    names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
632 +    double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
633 +    against the metadata object name.
634 +
635 +    If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
636 +    against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
637 +
638 + 25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
639 +    with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
640 +    or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
641 +
642 + 26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
643 +    statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
644 +
645 + 27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
646 +
647 + 28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
648 +    a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
649 +    is executed.
650 +
651 + 29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
652 +
653 + 30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
654 +    converting statement to upper case.
655 +
656 + 31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
657 +    IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
658 +    in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
659 +    ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
660 +
661 + 32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
662 +
663 + 33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
664 +    types.
