+IBX Change Log  version      (2.3-0) Fri, 16 Mar 2018 11:07:39 +0000
-+
-+
+IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
-+
+all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
-+
-+
+The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
-+
+IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
-+
+to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
-+
+to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
-+
+Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
-+
+packages.
-+
-+
+. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
-+
+   the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
-+
+   use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
-+
+   more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
-+
+   As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
-+
+   provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
-+
+   using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
-+
-+
+. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
-+
+   finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
-+
+   not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
-+
+   new set of IBX packages.
-+
-+
+. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
-+
+   updated to use the new Services API components.
-+
-+
+. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
-+
-+
+. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
-+
+   TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
-+
+   as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
-+
+   correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
-+
+   the setting has moved to the mappings page.
-+
-+
+. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
-+
+   are ignored.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
-+
+   closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
-+
+   are also fired.
-+
-+
+. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
-+
+   is started and not just the first time.
-+
-+
+. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
-+
+   depenendency with comp type.
-+
-+
+. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
-+
+    then this is recognised and not ignored.
-+
-+
+. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
-+
+    function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
-+
+    function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
-+
+    property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
-+
-+
+    GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
-+
+    if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
-+
+    counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
-+
+    the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
-+
+    and then GetPerfStatistics.
-+
-+
+    See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
-+
+    in parenthesises.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
-+
+    SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
-+
+    only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
-+
+    characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
-+
-+
+. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
-+
+    are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
-+
-+
+. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
-+
+       property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
-+
-+
+    When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
-+
+    through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
-+
+    then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
-+
+    row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
-+
+    is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
-+
+    to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
-+
-+
+    Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
-+
+    chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
-+
+    to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
-+
+    with Extract Option eoDatabase.
-+
-+
+. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
-+
+    When a deLaoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
-+
+    combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
-+
+    relationship with the control's datasource (master).
-+
-+
+IBX Change Log  version  (2.2-0) Wed, 28 Feb 2018 10:57:45 +0000
-+
-+
+NOTE: THE LOCATIONS OF SOME OF THE UNIT DIRECTORIES HAS CHANGED FROM IBX 2.1. THIS IS TO
-+
+AVOID DUPLICATE PPU WARNINGS. PLEASE REMOVE EARLIER VERSIONS OF IBX BEFORE INSTALLING THIS
-+
+RELEASE.
-+
-+
+NOTE: THE DBADMIN DEMO REQUIRES THAT THE MemDSLaz PACKAGE IS INSTALLED IN THE LAZARUS IDE.
-+
-+
+. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name.
-+
-+
+. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses.
-+
+   The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further
-+
+   information). However, this is also a very useful mechanism for returning updated computed by
-+
+   column values. Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement
-+
+   replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column.
-+
-+
+   Previously, if a dataset's select query included read only (computed by) fields then
-+
+   an automatic row refresh was performed after an insert or update query had been processed,
-+
+   irrespective of the setting of the "ForcedUpdates" property. This has changed such
-+
+   that an automatic refresh is no longer performed if an insert or update query contains
-+
+   a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row
-+
+   refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any
-+
+   field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update
-+
+   returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query.
-+
-+
+   This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change
-+
+   existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability.
-+
-+
+. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as
-+
+   they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in
-+
+   updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler
-+
+   "OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and
-+
+   an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned
-+
+   by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and
-+
+   perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user,
-+
+   the deletion of a row with the returned values.
-+
-+
+. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for
-+
+   any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to
-+
+   illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update.
-+
-+
+. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published.
-+
-+
+. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List.
-+
+   When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to
-+
+   be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of
-+
+   each Identity column after the insert is executed.
-+
-+
+. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause.
-+
+   Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in
-+
+   Insert..Returning clause.
-+
-+
+. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time
-+
+   a new value is generated.
-+
-+
+. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used.
-+
-+
+. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System
-+
+    Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table.
-+
-+
+. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field
-+
+    values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again
-+
+    to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach).
-+
-+
+. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures.
-+
+    * Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and
-+
+      which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select
-+
+      query).
-+
+    * Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2).
-+
-+
+. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName
-+
+    can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is
-+
+    expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the
-+
+    generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package.
-+
-+
+. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include
-+
+    a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from
-+
+    which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package
-+
+    stored procedures are listed.
-+
-+
+. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting
-+
+    for password on reconnect.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page
-+
+    and character set name.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise
-+
+    DB info lookups"
-+
-+
+. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects.
-+
-+
+. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL.
-+
-+
+. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input
-+
+    parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be
-+
+    located in the record buffer.
-+
-+
+. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table
-+
+    is a System Table.
-+
-+
+. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception.
-+
+    This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query.
-+
-+
+. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to
-+
+    add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using
-+
+    an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a
-+
+    database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db".
-+
-+
+. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout.
-+
+    This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local
-+
+    databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory
-+
+    (including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including
-+
+    trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory
-+
+    in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned
-+
+    from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'.
-+
+    Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed
-+
+    above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be
-+
+    used to improve application portability for Personal Databases.
-+
-+
+. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef
-+
+    this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be
-+
+    managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields
-+
+    editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor
-+
+    is then displayed.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabaseInfo: new properties/function
-+
+     * DateDBCreated (returns date/time database created)
-+
+     * TransactionCount (returns no. of active transactions)
-+
+     * GetDatabasePage(PageNo: integer) (returns contents of specified database page - SYSDBA only).
-+
+     * PagesFree (Firebird 3 or later)
-+
+     * PagesUsed (Firebird 3 or later)
-+
+     * Encrypted (returns true if database encrypted. (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only)
-+
+     * EncryptionKeyName (returns the name of the encryption key if any (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only)
-+
-+
+. IBServices classes now provided the decoded release number in the (array) property ServerVersionNo.
-+
-+
+. TIBSecurityService now supports display/modification of the User Admin Role (Firebird 2.5 and later).
-+
-+
+. TIBConfigService now has a procedure SetAutoAdmin(Value: boolean) to enable/disable
-+
+    the automtic mapping of privileged OS users to the RDB$ADMIN role (Firebird 2.5 and later).
-+
-+
+. TIBBackupService: New Option - NoDBTriggers equivalent to -nodbtriggers switch introduced
-+
+    in the gbak utility at V.2.1 to prevent database-level and transaction-level triggers from
-+
+    firing during backup and restore.
-+
-+
+. Both TIBBackupService and TIBRestoreService now support backup/restore statistics options
-+
+    for verbose output using the new property "StatisticsRequested".
-+
+    see https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-util-gbak.html#rnfb25-util-gbakstats
-+
-+
+. TIBRestoreService: now supports new options RestoreMetaDataOnly (Firebird 2.5 and later).
-+
-+
+. TIBOnlineValidationService component added to the IBServices and the "Firebird Admin"
-+
+    palette. This uses the online validation feature added in Firebird 2.5. The
-+
+    services's properties enable inclusion/exclusion of tables and indexes using
-+
+    regular expressions. See.
-+
+    https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-apiods-api.html#rnfb25-apiods-api-onlinevalidation
-+
-+
+. IBServices: procedure TIBConfigService.SetNoLinger added to set no linger
-+
+    option on a database.
-+
-+
+. TIBCustomService: Assign method implemented to allow copying of service login
-+
+    context between service API components. "Detach" method now only detaches
-+
+    service when last reference to the service interface detaches. Tidy up of
-+
+    code for SetActive and Attach methods including password hiding.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: new properties: AuthenticationMethod and RemoteProtocol. Read only
-+
+    and used to determine the auth method and protocol used for the connection.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: ensure that SQLDialect setting is used when creating a database using
-+
+    a Create Database Statement generated by IBX.
-+
-+
+. All IBServices now have an additional published property "PortNo". This may
-+
+    be set to a non-standard port number when necessary. If zero then the default
-+
+    port number is used.
-+
-+
+: TIBLookupComboeditBox: Ensure dataset updated when change selected with the keyboard
-+
+    and not just the mouse.
-+
-+
+. TIBCustomDataset: reopen query if already active when a TIBControlLink is added.
-+
-+
+. TIBTreeview: new ImageIndexField and SelectedIndexField Property allows the
-+
+    image index and selected image index for each node to be set from a database field.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: new extract type (etGrantsToUser) for use with eoDatabase. If included
-+
+    then database schema includes grants to all users. If not present then the
-+
+    only user grants included are those to User PUBLIC.
-+
-+
+. TIBTreeView: performance improvement. When expanding include both expanded node
-+
+    and child nodes in dataset.
-+
-+
-+
+IBX Change Log  version                            (2.1-0) Fri, 15 Dec 2017 12:20:11 +0000
-+
-+
+. IBCustomDataset: Minor change of PChar to PByte for compatibility with fbintf
-+
+   changes.
-+
-+
+. IBCustomDataset: Fixed use of incorrect datasize in TIBStringField.SetAsString.
-+
+   Bug could result in truncated multi-byte character set values.
-+
-+
+. Changes consequential on moving fbintf character set utility functions from
-+
+   IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment.
-+
-+
+. Avoid "Object is nil" error when opening a database with DefaultSystemCodePage = true
-+
-+
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition when autocompleting text that occasionally
-+
+   results in autocomplete ignoring prefix text.
-+
-+
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that cursor is not reset to start of text when
-+
+   entering a new name into the text box.
-+
-+
+. IBCustomDataset: ensure that TIBStringField uses the field size reported by
-+
+   Firebird rather than recomputing it.
-+
-+
+. Property Editor positioning tidy up: All IBX Property editors should now be
-+
+   screen centre. Previously some were "poDesigned" which may be inappropriate
-+
+   for multi monitor desktops.
-+
-+
+. TIBTreeView.FindNode: protect against error if zero length path or empty tree node.
-+
-+
+. TIBTransaction: On Force Disconnect do not raise an exception when problem ending
-+
+    a transaction and always reset the object.
-+
-+
+. TIBQuery tidyup: remove unnecessary call to GetAffectedRows.
-+
-+
+. TIBXScript: Allow for override of database filename in Create Database statements.
-+
-+
+. IBLocaldb: Support initialisation of the database from an SQL script in addition
-+
+    to a gbak format archive.
-+
-+
+. IBLocaldb: fix problem that stopped the OnSharedDataDir event from being recognised.
-+
-+
+. IBLocaldb: Drop database if error creating an empty database.
-+
-+
+. TIBTreeView: improve performance when selecting node - avoid refreshing dataset
-+
+    unless selected node not in current dataset.
-+
-+
+. IBServices: SetDBParams method moved from TCustomIBLocalDBSupport (in IBLocalDB package)
-+
+    to TIBCustomService, and IBlocalDB code tidy up.
-+
-+
+. IBTreeView: Initialise TIBTreeNode KeyValue to null to avoid unpredictable
-+
+    behaviour due to uninitialised variable.
-+
-+
+. IBServices: Correct encoding of isc_spb_prp_write_mode in TIBConfigService from
-+
+    integer to byte. Ditto isc_spb_prp_reserve_space and isc_spb_prp_access_mode.
-+
-+
+. IBSQL: When Database changed ensure that all resources are freed.
-+
-+
+. IBCustomDataset: When database changed ensure that queries an unprepared.
-+
-+
+. SQL Property Editors now use SynEdit with SQL Highlighter. New features include:
-+
+    * Line Wrap on SQL Token boundaries (on user command)
-+
+    * auto-complete table names in drop down list of table names
-+
+    * Double click on tablename or field name adds to SQL text
-+
-+
+. IBDataOutput: print statistics using float (%f) format instead of decimal (%d).
-+
-+
+. IBTreeView: Call to FindNode: param type change from "array of Variant" to
-+
+    TVariantArray. Seems to avoid memory corruption in Windows (probably a
-+
+    workaround for a problem in fpc 3.0.4 win64).
-+
-+
+. IBDatabaseInfo: Code tidy up. Add check for database not assigned or not open.
-+
-+
+. IBDatabaseInfo: Remove memory leak when accessing database operation counts.
-+
-+
+IBX Change Log  version                   (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to
-+
+   include remote system name.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty
-+
+   tables when data included in output.
-+
-+
+. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance
-+
+   and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate
-+
+   performance bottlenecks.
-+
-+
+. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different.
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit
-+
-+
+. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures
-+
+   that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName
-+
+   not found error.
-+
-+
+. IBUpdate: This is a new IBX component similar to TIBUpdateSQL. It is more general
-+
+   purpose and allows the programmer to define any action they want for Update, Insert
-+
+   or Delete. This may be complex SQL (similar to a Trigger), application specific
-+
+   filtering of updates, or use of statements such as Grant or Revoke instead of
-+
+   normal DML. See User Manual for more information.
-+
-+
+IBX Change Log  version                  (2.0-1) Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:31:49 +0000
-+
-+
+. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using
-+
+   hexadecimal notation.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements
-+
+   using a simple XML format.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include
-+
+   grants to these objects.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid
-+
+   dependency problems restoring complex databases.
-+
-+
+. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of
-+
+   embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition
-+
+   to non-interactive data sources such as files.
-+
-+
+. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported.
-+
-+
+. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported:
-+
+   SET SQL DIALECT
-+
+   SET TERM
-+
+   SET AUTODDL
-+
+   SET BAIL
-+
+   SET ECHO
-+
+   SET COUNT
-+
+   SET STATS
-+
+   SET NAMES <character set>
-+
-+
+. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments.,
-+
+    and domain definitions.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: Triggers now use SQL2003 syntax and database and transaction triggers
-+
+    fully supported.
-+
-+
+. TIBExtract: when a database dump includes data, the generator values are now also set.
-+
-+
+: IBSQLEdit: Unit LCLPlatformDef added to uses clauses for lazarus 1.7 and later.
-+
-+
+IBX Change Log  version     (2.0-0) Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:33:44 +0000
-+
-+
+See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on
-+
+upgrading to IBX2.
-+
-+
+. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field
-+
+   and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such
-+
+   as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField
-+
+   code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour.
-+
+   The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0.
-+
-+
+. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When
-+
+   true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is
-+
+   always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear
-+
+   why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false.
-+
-+
+. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure
-+
+   block.
-+
-+
+. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not
-+
+   exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt
-+
+   is made to create the database.
-+
-+
+. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database
-+
+   has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when
-+
+   creating a database after it was found not to exist.
-+
-+
+.  DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being
-+
+    written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message
-+
+    loop before rendering the row image.
-+
-+
+.  DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for
-+
+    a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is
-+
+    known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first
-+
+    displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening
-+
+    of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created.
-+
-+
+.  DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with
-+
+    a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel.
-+
-+
+.  TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes.
-+
-+
+. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows.
-+
-+
+. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade.

-+
-+
+. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration
-+
+   when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for
-+
+   http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622.
-+
-+
+. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server
-+
+   since Firebird 1.5.
-+
-+
+. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or
-+
+   similar.
-+
-+
+. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id.
-+
-+
+. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in
-+
+   Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16.
-+
-+
+. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8

+   regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
-+
+   is for compatibility with the LCL.

+IBX Change Log  version  (1.4-2) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:25:27 +0100
-+
-+
+. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
-+
+   read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
-+
+   improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
-+
-+
+. Clearing a  Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
-+
-+
+. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
-+
+   is now used.
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
-+
+   determined.
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
-+
-+
+. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post

+   lazarus 1.6.0

-+
+   compilation error.

-+
-+
+. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
-+
+  character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
-+
+  Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
-+
+  set as the connection.
-+
-+
+. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
-+
+   for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
-+
-+
+. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
-+
+   to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
-+
+   entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
-+
+   column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
-+
+   Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
-+
+   column width.
-+
-+
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
-+
+   and a case insensitive search is requested.
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
-+
+   or column ListSource.
-+
-+
+. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
-+
+   unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
-+
-+
+. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
-+
+   Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
-+
-+
+.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
-+
+   Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
-+
-+
+. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
-+
-+
+. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
-+
+    string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
-+
+    Firebird driver transliteration, if any.  FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
-+
+    earlier versions.
-+
-+
+. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
-+
+    will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
-+
+    if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
-+
+    is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
-+
+    the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
-+
+    platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
-+
+.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
-+
+    the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
-+
+    name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
-+
+    Database is connected.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
-+
+    id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.

+IBX Change Log  version                          (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000
-+
-+
+. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
-+
+   path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
-+
+   temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
-+
+   prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
-+
+   be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
-+
-+
+. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
-+
+     i.   The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
-+
+     ii.  If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
-+
+          points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
-+
+          "bin" directory.
-+
+     iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
-+
+          is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
-+
+          "bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
-+
+     iv.  The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
-+
+          are searched for the FB Client DLL.
-+
+     v.   The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
-+
+     vi.  Finally the  PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
-+
-+
+. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
-+
+   See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
-+
-+
+. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
-+
+   simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
-+
+   See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
-+
+   dynamic columns.
-+
-+
+. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
-+
+   between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.

+IBX Change Log  version           (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
-+
-+
+.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
-+
-+
+. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
-+
-+
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
-+
+   i.e. when it is a calculated field
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
-+
+   This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
-+
+   determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
-+
+   is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
-+
+   be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
-+
+   calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
-+
-+
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
-+
+   Windows.
-+
-+
+. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
-+
+   These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
-+
+   to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
-+
-+
+. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
-+
+   TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
-+
-+
+. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
-+
+   TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
-+
+, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
-+
-+
+   Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
-+
+   from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
-+
+   implies no truncation.
-+
-+
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
-+
+   (avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
-+
+    DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
-+
-+
+. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
-+
-+
+. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
-+
-+
+. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.

-+
+IBX Change Log  version        (1.3-1) Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:30:50 +0100
-+
-+
+.   OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties
-+
-+
+.   IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids
-+
+     problem with row size when exception is called.
-+
-+
+.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit.
-+
-+
+.   IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if
-+
+     in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo
-+
-+
+.   IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text
-+
+     keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed
-+
-+
+.   Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support
-+
+     console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and
-+
+     cursor management) centralised in the  IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is
-+
+     not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program.
-+
+     See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a
-+
+     console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your
-+
+     application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package.
-+
-+
+     IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order
-+
+     to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is
-+
+     included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause.
-+
+     This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why
-+
+     you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The
-+
+     ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs
-+
+     to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the
-+
+     unit search paths set up correctly.
-+
-+
+     Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in
-+
+     each project's source file (*.lpr).
-+
-+
+     You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode
-+
+     exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This
-+
+     adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently
-+
+     available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file.
-+
-+
+         Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode.
-+
-+
+.   SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines
-+
-+
+.   IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end
-+
+     of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a
-+
+     column and then inserting text.
-+
-+
+.   New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor.
-+
-+
+. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer
-+
+    write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the
-+
+    IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write
-+
+    of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could
-+
+        not be automatically recognised.
-+
-+
+. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor
-+
+    already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical.
-+
-+
+. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error
-+
+    when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the
-+
+    table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix.
-+
-+
+. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead
-+
+    of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing
-+
+    users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications.

-+
+IBX Change Log  version  (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
-+
-+
+.  Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
-+
+    empty Params property.
-+
-+
+.  IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3.
-+
+    Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply
-+
+    SQL markup on initial open.
-+
-+
+.  "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling.
-+
-+
+.  DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a
-+
+    TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a
-+
+    random image cached).
-+
-+
+.  DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time.
-+
-+
+.  IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid
-+
+    even when further rows exist.
-+
-+
+.  DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should
-+
+    always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion.
-+
+    Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time,
-+
+    each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE
-+
+    in order to remove the property value from the lfm.
-+
-+
-+
+IBX Change Log  version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100
-+
-+
+.  TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
-+
+    call Prepare before setting parameter values.
-+
-+
+.  Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter.
-+
-+
+.  Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector.
-+
-+
+.  Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction
-+
+    has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost"
-+
+    and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called
-+
+    for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called
-+
+    after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events
-+
+    enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be
-+
+    handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs
-+
+    an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes,
-+
+    the transaction should be committed.  Rather than doing this per dataset, this
-+
+    can now be done per transaction.
-+
-+
+.  TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when
-+
+    the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default,
-+
+    discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now
-+
+    have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes
-+
+    on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the
-+
+    behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges
-+
+    then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed
-+
+    (and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the
-+
+    dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case,
-+
+    no action is taken and any unsaved  changes are discarded. This avoids both
-+
+    unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post
-+
+    raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback.
-+
-+
+.  String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets.
-+
+    In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character
-+
+    width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character.
-+
+    For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be
-+
+    the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined
-+
+    dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
-+
+    system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766).
-+
-+
+.  SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string.
-+
-+
+.  IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the
-+
+    control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms.
-+
-+
+.  DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even
-+
+    when dataset rows are less than visible rows.
-+
-+
+. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource
-+
+    does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event
-+
+    OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row.
-+
-+
+. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset
-+
+    while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors.
-+
-+
+. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to
-+
+    avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables.
-+
-+
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes.
-+
-+
+. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced
-+
+    to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by
-+
+    a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset
-+
+    always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate
-+
+    to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the
-+
+    "MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called
-+
+    as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post
-+
+    into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is
-+
+    achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be
-+
+    raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal
-+
+    a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml)
-+
-+
+. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon
-+
+    separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right
-+
+    order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux,
-+
+    the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be
-+
+    overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function.
-+
-+
+    Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:"
-+
+    then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will
-+
+    require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username
-+
+    and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant
-+
+    access.

+IBX Change Log  version  (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
-+
-+
+.  A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
-+
+    rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
-+
+    that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
-+
+    corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
-+
+    replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
-+
-+
+. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.
-+
+   When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change
-+
+   takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with
-+
+   the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor.
-+
-+
+. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery
-+
+   and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to
-+
+   Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of
-+
+   making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly
-+
+   committed.
-+
-+
+. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
-+
+   using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature.

-+
-+
+. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
-+
+   This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
-+
+   "Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
-+
+   complexity.
-+

-+
-+
+   TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
-+
+   of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
-+
+   to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
-+
+   typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a
-+
+   newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
-+
+   list items.
-+
-+
+   TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
-+
+   - automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
-+
+   - automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
-+
+     column footer, on a per column basis.
-+
+   - DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
-+
+     A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
-+
+   - Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
-+
+     is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
-+
+     number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
-+
+     as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
-+
+   - Reselection of the same row following resorting.
-+
+   - A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
-+
+     Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
-+
+     columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
-+
+     Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
-+
+     is unaffected by the extension.
-+
-+
+   TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
-+
-+
+. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
-+
+   zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
-+
-+
+. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
-+
+   "GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
-+
-+
+. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
-+
+   repeated multiple times.
-+
-+
+. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
-+
+   check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
-+
+   statements.
-+
-+
+. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
-+
+   Stored Procedures.
-+
-+
+. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls

-+
+IBX Change Log  version  (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100
-+
-+
+. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
-+
+   setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
-+
+   Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
-+
-+
+. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
-+
+   See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
-+
-+
+. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
-+
+   dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
-+
-+
+. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
-+
-+
+. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
-+
+   actions.
-+
-+
+. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
-+
+   thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
-+
-+
+. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
-+
-+
+. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
-+
+   for both fields and parameter setting.
-+
-+
+. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
-+
+   visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
-+
-+
+. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
-+
+    when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
-+
-+
+. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
-+
-+
+. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
-+
+    GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
-+
-+
+. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
-+
+    of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.

+IBX Change Log  version                 (1.0-5) Sat, 28 Dec 2013 19:22:23 +0000
-+
-+
+. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to >= 2.7.0 to match revised availability of change.
-+
-+
+IBX Change Log  version          (1.0-4) Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:56:13 +0000
-+
-+
+. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
-+
+   it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
-+
-+
+   Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
-+
-+
+. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
-+
+   and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.
-+
-+
+IBX Change Log  version         (1.0-3) Thu, 22 Nov 2012 22:53:39 +0000
-+
-+
+. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
-+
+   Lazarus versions less than 1.1
-+
-+
+. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
-+
+   to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
-+
+to 1254.
-+
-+
-+
+IBX Change Log  version     (1.0-2) Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:10:30 +0100

-+
-+
+IBX Change Log  version    (1.0-1) Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:00:04 +0100
+. In IBCustomDataset. Changed CurBookmark from string to TBookmark for compiler versions > 2.6.0
