1 + IBX Change Log  version (2.6-1 Build 13985) Mon, 17 Jul 2023 14:16:41 +0100
2 +
3 + 1. Maintenance update of 2.6.0. This version is still at beta.
4 +
5 + 2. Reverse out changes to DrawCellText signature in IBArrayGrid and IBDynamic Grid.
6 +   See https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/commit/53aaae9c5e2a5edac5b1d2f70739a8ef7b0a9623
7 +
8 + 3. ibxscript: When parsing a store procedure or function with a variable name
9 +   enclosed in doublequotes, the double quotes are no longer removed.
10 +
11 + IBX Change Log  version (2.6-0 Build 13976) Thu, 22 Jun 2023 13:49:22 +0100
12 +
13 + NOTE: THIS VERSION RE-WRITES THE INTERNAL BUFFER MANAGER AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
14 +      AS BETA SOFTWARE. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS PASSED ALL REGRESSION TESTS, IT CANNOT
15 +      BE ASSUMED TO BE PRODUCTION READY UNTIL WIDER USE. PLEASE REPORT ANY
16 +      ISSUES TO support@mwasoftware.co.uk
17 +
18 + 1. Complete rewrite of internal buffer management in order to improve performance
19 +   and maintainability. Highlights:
20 +
21 +   * Extending the size of the buffer pool no longer has to copy the entire record
22 +     cache. Instead, a new extent is simply added to the buffer pool.
23 +   * A memory to memory copy of each display buffer now is avoided when scolling the
24 +     dataset.
25 +   * A separate set of buffers is now used for calculated fields. This avoids
26 +     having to keep copies of calculated field values in the buffer cache.
27 +   * Compact bitmaps are used to record null status and need to refresh in each
28 +     buffer.
29 +   * Display buffer type changed from PChar to TRecordBuffer in line with change of
30 +     buffer type in FCL-DB.
31 +
32 + 2. TIBUpdateSQL: changes to SQL text will close linked dataset if open. This is
33 +   to ensure same behaviour as TIBDataset, TIBTable and TIBStoredProcedure.
34 +
35 + 3. TField Provider Flags: pfRefreshOnInsert and pfRefreshOnUpdate are now supported.
36 +   If either or both of these flags are set at design time (using the fields editor)
37 +   then this forces a row refresh on respectively insert or update, or both, when the
38 +   corresponding field is not present in an SQL RETURNING clause.
39 +
40 + 4. TIBCustomDataset.FieldDefsFromQuery moved to a helper class (TFieldDefsMaker) in order to improve
41 +   maintainability and readability and to add identification of primary key fields.
42 +
43 + 5. TIBQuery, TIBDataset and TIBTable. Traditionally, IBX has implemented the Refresh method
44 +   as a refresh of the current row. However, this is different behaviour to that described
45 +   in the FPC documentation for TDataset.Refresh which is described as "refetches the data in
46 +   the dataset from the underlying database, and attempts to reposition the cursor on
47 +   the same record as it was". IBX now complies with the FPC definition of Refresh.
48 +
49 + 6. A progammatic Row Refresh should no longer be required.
50 +   Use Insert/Update... returning to refresh any fields that may change following an
51 +   insert or update i.e. Identify fields on Insert only, Computed By, Blob and array fields
52 +   on both. If there are any other fields (e.g. updated by triggers) set the appropriate ProviderFlag
53 +   for the field at Design Time to force a row refresh if not in the returning clause.
54 +
55 + 7. It should now be possible to insert a row into an empty unidirectional dataset.
56 +
57 + 8. New TIBQuery, TIBDataSet and TIBTable property: BufferChunksInFirstBlock (default 50).
58 +   This gives the number of buffers in the initial block for the buffer pool in
59 +   bi-directional datasets. BufferChunks (default 1000) gives the number of buffers
60 +   in subsequent buffer pool blocks. This avoids large and mostly unused memory allocations
61 +   for small datasets.
62 +
63 + IBX Change Log  version (2.5-1 Build 13927) Tue, 6 Dec 2022 23:13:00 +0000
64 +
65 + 1. IBCustomDataset: avoid problem with additions to TFieldType by using a subset instead.
66 +
67 + 2. TIBDynamicGrid: change DrawCellText declaration to comply with laz 2.3.0
68 +
69 + 3. TIBArrayGrid: change DrawCellText declaration to comply with laz 2.3.0
70 +
71 + IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 13868) Fri, 29 Jul 2022 09:52:01 +0100
72 +
73 + 1. TIBTransaction: new properties
74 +    property TransactionID: integer read GetTransactionID;
75 +    property IsReadOnly: boolean read GetIsReadOnly;
76 +    {published}
77 +    property TransactionName: string read FTransactionName write SetTransactionName;
78 +
79 + 2. IBCustomDataset: per row blob and array buffer cached clear before processing
80 +   Insert or Update...Returning. This allows blobs and arrays to be returned
81 +   by the statement.
82 +
83 + 3. TSQLXMLReader moved from IBXScript to package fbintf unit IBUtils.
84 +
85 + 4. TransactionName initialised to a newly generated GUID if empty.
86 +
87 + 5. New unit: IBJournal. This provides the TIBJournal component which is a wrapper
88 +   for the fbintf package's journaling capability. TIBJournal is used to set the
89 +   file path and filename for the journal file and to Enabled (start journaling) and
90 +   disable (stop journaling). See fbintf/doc/README.ClientSideJournaling.pdf for
91 +   more information, and comments in IBJournal.pas.
92 +
93 + 6. TIBDatabase.InternalTransaction is now a read only transaction.
94 +
95 + 7. Bug fix: blob id no longer set to null on update when blob has not been
96 +   retrieved.
97 +
98 + 8. Row auto refreshed on update/insert if blob or array field updated and field
99 +   not in a returning clause.
100 +
101 + 9. ColumnCount moved from record buffer header to a single per dataset count. Reduces
102 +   buffer overhead and avoids problem when refresh query has a different column
103 +   count to select query i.e. incorrectly changing number of columns.
104 +
105 + 10. IBExtract: support added for UDR Functions, Procedure and Trigger declarations.
106 +
107 + 11. TIBDatabaseInfo. New property FirebirdVersion. This returns the current Firebird version
108 +    string. Note that the Version property returns an InterBase compatible version string.
109 +
110 + 12. IBExtract: ensure sql identifiers returned as a LIST are always quoted.
111 +
112 + IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 12933) Mon, 29 Nov 2021 14:59:54 +0000
113 +
114 + 1. IBCustomDataset: Modify TISQL component now defaults to GoToFirstRecordOnExecute := true.
115 +   This is for compatibility with Firebird 5 where Update...Returning can return
116 +   a cursor.
117 +
118 + IBX Change Log  version (2.4-3 Build 12886) Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:58:30 +0100
119 +
120 + 1. Add try-..except check when initially loading library in IDE. This should
121 + ensure that IDE continues to load even when a failure occurs in IBX load
122 + library.
123 +
124 + 2. IBXScript: now recognises a CASE...END block within a stored procedure and
125 +   hence will correctly detect end of the outer containing block when the block
126 +   contains a SELECT ... CASE ... END construct.
127 +
128 + 3. IBExtract: some further tidying up to remove extraneous white space.
129 +
130 + 4. IBCustomDataSet: DefaultFieldClasses array declaration updated to avoid compile time
131 +   errors when extra elements are added to DB.TFieldType.
132 +
133 + 5. IBUpdate: updated to reflect changes to ISQLParam.
134 +
135 + 6. IBXScript: now correctly parses a DECLARE statement which includes a quoted string.
136 +
137 + 7. IBExtract: for ODS >=13, increment generator value by one for ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
138 +
139 + 8. IBSQL: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
140 +
141 + IBX Change Log  version (2.4-2 Build 12773) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:59:42 +0100
142 +
143 + 1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the
144 +   exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo.
145 +
146 + 2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added.
147 +
148 + 3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property
149 +   is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a
150 +   SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g.
151 +   as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE".
152 +
153 +   There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered
154 +   manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the
155 +   StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as
156 +   CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should
157 +   ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was
158 +   declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double
159 +   quotes).
160 +
161 +   Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes,
162 +   as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not
163 +   include the delimiters (double quotes).
164 +
165 + 4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in
166 +   upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem.
167 +
168 + 5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to
169 +   'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given
170 +   version no.) in the upgrade.conf file.
171 +
172 + IBX Change Log  version (2.4-1 Build 12550) Wed, 23 Jun 2021 13:59:14 +0100
173 +
174 + 1. -c command line option added to fbsql example program. Used to set connection
175 +   character set.
176 +
177 + IBX Change Log  version (2.4-0 Build 12543) Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:00:08 +0000
178 +
179 + 1. Firebird 4 support added.
180 +
181 + 2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
182 +   extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
183 +
184 + 3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
185 +
186 + 4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
187 +   and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
188 +
189 + 5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
190 +   - new data types as above
191 +   - Identity column extensions
192 +   - Default user role
193 +   - SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
194 +   - Internal Functions
195 +
196 + 6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
197 +
198 + 7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
199 +
200 + 8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
201 +   and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
202 +
203 + 9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
204 +   format for rendering a time zone.
205 +
206 + 10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
207 +     to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
208 +
209 + 11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
210 +    IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
211 +
212 + 12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
213 +    now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
214 +
215 + 13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
216 +    truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
217 +    white space to the maximum data size.
218 +
219 + 14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
220 +    table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
221 +    also empty.
222 +
223 + 15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
224 +
225 + 16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
226 +    connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
227 +
228 + 17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
229 +
230 + 18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
231 +
232 + 19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
233 +    not being present as required.
234 +
235 + 20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
236 +    version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
237 +
238 + 21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
239 +    unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
240 +
241 + 22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
242 +    seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
243 +
244 + 23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
245 +      property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
246 +      IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
247 +
248 + 24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.
249 +
250 + IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 12350) Tue, 25 Aug 2020 16:11:02 +0100
251 +
252 + 1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
253 +    number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
254 +    to the maximum string size. This is  usually a problem with fixed width columns
255 +    right padded with white space.
256 +
257 + 2.  SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset.
258 +    If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the
259 +    SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
260 +    ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
261 +    dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
262 +    on the dataset.
263 +
264 + 3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
265 +    side filters).
266 +
267 + 4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
268 +   text matches complete entry.
269 +
270 + 5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
271 +   dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
272 +
273 + 6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
274 +
275 + 7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
276 +   This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
277 +
278 + 8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
279 +   This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
280 +   a duplicate initial row.
281 +
282 + 9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
283 +   That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
284 +   value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
285 +   for the field.
286 +
287 + 10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
288 +
289 + 11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
290 +    and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
291 +    older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
292 +    upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
293 +    In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
294 +    added back in.
295 +
296 + 12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
297 +    false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
298 +
299 + 12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
300 +    should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
301 +    is cancelled.
302 +
303 + 13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
304 +    called on a null field.
305 +
306 + 14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
307 +    results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
308 + set.
309 +
310 + 15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
311 +    a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
312 +
313 + 16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
314 +
315 + 17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
316 +
317 + 18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
318 +    possible and an exception raised.
319 +
320 + 19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
321 +    below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
322 +
323 + IBX Change Log  version (2.3-4 Build 12041) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:00:32 +0100
324 +
325 + 1.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
326 +    not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
327 +
328 + 2.  TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is
329 +    passed to the Firebird engine for execution.
330 +
331 + 3.  TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt
332 +    is made to scroll back.
333 +
334 + 4.  New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
335 +
336 + 5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
337 +   only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
338 +
339 + 6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
340 +   validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
341 +   been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
342 +   if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.
343 +
344 + 7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance
345 +   with fpc 3.2.
346 +
347 + IBX Change Log  version (2.3-3 Build 11512) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000
348 +
349 +
350 + 1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
351 +   and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
352 +   includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
353 +   Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
354 +   For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
355 +
356 +   Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
357 +   over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
358 +   also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
359 +   "WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
360 +   compression to be used.
361 +
362 +   Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
363 +   returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
364 +   ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
365 +
366 + 2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
367 +   is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
368 +   ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
369 +
370 + 3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
371 +   not "INT64".
372 +
373 + 4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
374 +   These are:
375 +    property TimestampFormat: string;
376 +    property DateFormat: string;
377 +    property TimeFormat: string;
378 +
379 +   Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
380 +   DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
381 +   characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
382 +
383 +   If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
384 +   is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
385 +   locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
386 +
387 +   TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
388 +   two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
389 +
390 + 5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
391 +     property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
392 +
393 +   If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
394 +   used to delimit each and every string in the output.
395 +
396 + 6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
397 +    property FieldSeparator: string;
398 +    property HeaderSeparator: string;
399 +
400 +   Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
401 +   in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
402 +
403 + 7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
404 +    TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
405 +    property OnFormatTextString;
406 +
407 +   This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
408 +   in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
409 +   This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
410 +
411 + 8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
412 +   Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
413 +   and without raising and exception if it does not.
414 +
415 + 9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
416 +   consistency with SQL queries.
417 +
418 + 10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
419 +    When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
420 +    TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
421 +
422 + 11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
423 +    an IDE exception.
424 +
425 + 12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
426 +    when the schema source is an sql file.
427 +
428 + 13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
429 +    when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
430 +    initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
431 +    to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
432 +
433 + 14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
434 +    to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
435 +    Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
436 +    when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
437 +
438 + 15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
439 +    are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
440 +    the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
441 +    IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
442 +    completely ignored if this property is true.
443 +
444 + 16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
445 +    to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
446 +    ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
447 +
448 + 17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
449 +    read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
450 +    the same database connection.
451 +
452 + 18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
453 +    if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
454 +    including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
455 +    "Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
456 +    the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
457 +    in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
458 +
459 +    If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
460 +    and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
461 +
462 +    The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
463 +    value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
464 +
465 +    This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
466 +    use at run time.
467 +
468 +    Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
469 +    is unaffected by this change.

471 + IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
472 +
473 + 1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
474 +   IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
475 +   mode apps.
476 +
477 + 2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
478 +   statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
479 +
480 + 3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
481 +   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
482 +
483 + 4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
484 +   as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
485 +
486 + 5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
487 +
488 + 6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
489 +   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
490 +
491 + 7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
492 +    being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
493 +
494 + 8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
495 +   FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
496 +   the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
497 +
498 + 9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
499 +   is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
500 +   services connection.
501 +
502 + 10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
503 +   or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
504 +
505 + 11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
506 +    view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
507 +    TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
508 +    ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
509 +
510 + 12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
511 +    the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
512 +    must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
513 +    this setting.

518 +   Utf8EscapeControlChars
