4 > 1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
5 >   and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
6 >   includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
7 >   Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
8 >   For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
9 >
10 >   Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
11 >   over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
12 >   also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
13 >   "WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
14 >   compression to be used.
15 >
16 >   Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
17 >   returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
18 >   ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
19 >
20 > 2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
21 >   is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
22 >   ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
23 >
24 > 3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
25 >   not "INT64".
26 >
27 > 4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
28 >   These are:
29 >    property TimestampFormat: string;
30 >    property DateFormat: string;
31 >    property TimeFormat: string;
32 >
33 >   Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
34 >   DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
35 >   characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
36 >
37 >   If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
38 >   is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
39 >   locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
40 >
41 >   TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
42 >   two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
43 >
44 > 5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
45 >     property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
46 >
47 >   If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
48 >   used to delimit each and every string in the output.
49 >
50 > 6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
51 >    property FieldSeparator: string;
52 >    property HeaderSeparator: string;
53 >
54 >   Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
55 >   in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
56 >
57 > 7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
58 >    TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
59 >    property OnFormatTextString;
60 >
61 >   This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
62 >   in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
63 >   This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
64 >
65 > 8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
66 >   Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
67 >   and without raising and exception if it does not.
68 >
69 > 9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
70 >   consistency with SQL queries.
71 >
72 > 10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
73 >    When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
74 >    TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
75 >
76 > 11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
77 >    an IDE exception.
78 >
79 > 12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
80 >    when the schema source is an sql file.
81 >
82 > 13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
83 >    when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
84 >    initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
85 >    to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
86 >
87 > 14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
88 >    to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
89 >    Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
90 >    when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
91 >
92 > 15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
93 >    are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
94 >    the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
95 >    IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
96 >    completely ignored if this property is true.
97 >
98 > 16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
99 >    to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
100 >    ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
101 >
102 > 17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
103 >    read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
104 >    the same database connection.
105 >
106 > 18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
107 >    if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
108 >    including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
109 >    "Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
110 >    the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
111 >    in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
112 >
113 >    If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
114 >    and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
115 >
116 >    The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
117 >    value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
118 >
119 >    This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
120 >    use at run time.
121 >
122 >    Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
123 >    is unaffected by this change.

126 >
127 > 1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
128 >   IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
129 >   mode apps.
130 >
131 > 2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
132 >   statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
133 >
134 > 3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
135 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
136 >
137 > 4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
138 >   as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
139 >
140 > 5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
141 >
142 > 6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
143 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
144 >
145 > 7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
146 >    being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
147 >
148 > 8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
149 >   FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
150 >   the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
151 >
152 > 9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
153 >   is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
154 >   services connection.
155 >
156 > 10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
157 >   or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
158 >
159 > 11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
160 >    view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
161 >    TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
162 >    ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
163 >
164 > 12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
165 >    the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
166 >    must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
167 >    this setting.
