1	+	IBX Change Log  version (2.3-3 Build 11336) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000
2	+
3	+	1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
4	+	and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
5	+	includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
6	+	Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
7	+	For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
8	+
9	+	Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
10	+	over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
11	+	also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
12	+	"WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
13	+	compression to be used.
14	+
15	+	Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
16	+	returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
17	+	ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
18	+
19	+	2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
20	+	is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
21	+	ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
22	+
23	+	3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
24	+	not "INT64".
25	+
26	+	4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
27	+	These are:
28	+	property TimestampFormat: string;
29	+	property DateFormat: string;
30	+	property TimeFormat: string;
31	+
32	+	Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
33	+	DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
34	+	characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
35	+
36	+	If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
37	+	is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
38	+	locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
39	+
40	+	TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
41	+	two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
42	+
43	+	5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
44	+	property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
45	+
46	+	If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
47	+	used to delimit each and every string in the output.
48	+
49	+	6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
50	+	property FieldSeparator: string;
51	+	property HeaderSeparator: string;
52	+
53	+	Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
54	+	in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
55	+
56	+	7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
57	+	TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
58	+	property OnFormatTextString;
59	+
60	+	This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
61	+	in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
62	+	This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
63	+
64	+	8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
65	+
66	+	9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
67	+	consistency with SQL queries.
68	+
69	+	10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
70	+	When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
71	+	TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
72	+
73	+	IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
74	+
75	+	1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
76	+	IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
77	+	mode apps.
78	+
79	+	2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
80	+	statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
81	+
82	+	3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
83	+	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
84	+
85	+	4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
86	+	as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
87	+
88	+	5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
89	+
90	+	6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
91	+	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
92	+
93	+	7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
94	+	being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
95	+
96	+	8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
97	+	FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
98	+	the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
99	+
100	+	9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
101	+	is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
102	+	services connection.
103	+
104	+	10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
105	+	or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
106	+
107	+	11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
108	+	view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
109	+	TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
110	+	ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
111	+
112	+	12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
113	+	the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
114	+	must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
115	+	this setting.
