3 > 1. IBCustomDataset: avoid problem with additions to TFieldType by using a subset instead.
4 >
5 > 2. TIBDynamicGrid: change DrawCellText declaration to comply with laz 2.3.0
6 >
7 > 3. TIBArrayGrid: change DrawCellText declaration to comply with laz 2.3.0

10 >
11 > 1. TIBTransaction: new properties
12 >    property TransactionID: integer read GetTransactionID;
13 >    property IsReadOnly: boolean read GetIsReadOnly;
14 >    {published}
15 >    property TransactionName: string read FTransactionName write SetTransactionName;
16 >
17 > 2. IBCustomDataset: per row blob and array buffer cached clear before processing
18 >   Insert or Update...Returning. This allows blobs and arrays to be returned
19 >   by the statement.
20 >
21 > 3. TSQLXMLReader moved from IBXScript to package fbintf unit IBUtils.
22 >
23 > 4. TransactionName initialised to a newly generated GUID if empty.
24 >
25 > 5. New unit: IBJournal. This provides the TIBJournal component which is a wrapper
26 >   for the fbintf package's journaling capability. TIBJournal is used to set the
27 >   file path and filename for the journal file and to Enabled (start journaling) and
28 >   disable (stop journaling). See fbintf/doc/README.ClientSideJournaling.pdf for
29 >   more information, and comments in IBJournal.pas.
30 >
31 > 6. TIBDatabase.InternalTransaction is now a read only transaction.
32 >
33 > 7. Bug fix: blob id no longer set to null on update when blob has not been
34 >   retrieved.
35 >
36 > 8. Row auto refreshed on update/insert if blob or array field updated and field
37 >   not in a returning clause.
38 >
39 > 9. ColumnCount moved from record buffer header to a single per dataset count. Reduces
40 >   buffer overhead and avoids problem when refresh query has a different column
41 >   count to select query i.e. incorrectly changing number of columns.
42 >
43 > 10. IBExtract: support added for UDR Functions, Procedure and Trigger declarations.
44 >
45 > 11. TIBDatabaseInfo. New property FirebirdVersion. This returns the current Firebird version
46 >    string. Note that the Version property returns an InterBase compatible version string.
47 >
48 > 12. IBExtract: ensure sql identifiers returned as a LIST are always quoted.
49 >
50 > IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 12933) Mon, 29 Nov 2021 14:59:54 +0000
51 >
52 > 1. IBCustomDataset: Modify TISQL component now defaults to GoToFirstRecordOnExecute := true.
53 >   This is for compatibility with Firebird 5 where Update...Returning can return
54 >   a cursor.
55 >
56 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-3 Build 12886) Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:58:30 +0100
57 >
58 > 1. Add try-..except check when initially loading library in IDE. This should
59 > ensure that IDE continues to load even when a failure occurs in IBX load
60 > library.
61 >
62 > 2. IBXScript: now recognises a CASE...END block within a stored procedure and
63 >   hence will correctly detect end of the outer containing block when the block
64 >   contains a SELECT ... CASE ... END construct.
65 >
66 > 3. IBExtract: some further tidying up to remove extraneous white space.
67 >
68 > 4. IBCustomDataSet: DefaultFieldClasses array declaration updated to avoid compile time
69 >   errors when extra elements are added to DB.TFieldType.
70 >
71 > 5. IBUpdate: updated to reflect changes to ISQLParam.
72 >
73 > 6. IBXScript: now correctly parses a DECLARE statement which includes a quoted string.
74 >
75 > 7. IBExtract: for ODS >=13, increment generator value by one for ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
76 >
77 > 8. IBSQL: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
78 >
79 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-2 Build 12773) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:59:42 +0100
80 >
81 > 1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the
82 >   exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo.
83 >
84 > 2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added.
85 >
86 > 3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property
87 >   is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a
88 >   SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g.
89 >   as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE".
90 >
91 >   There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered
92 >   manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the
93 >   StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as
94 >   CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should
95 >   ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was
96 >   declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double
97 >   quotes).
98 >
99 >   Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes,
100 >   as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not
101 >   include the delimiters (double quotes).
102 >
103 > 4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in
104 >   upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem.
105 >
106 > 5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to
107 >   'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given
108 >   version no.) in the upgrade.conf file.
109 >
110 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-1 Build 12550) Wed, 23 Jun 2021 13:59:14 +0100
111 >
112 > 1. -c command line option added to fbsql example program. Used to set connection
113 >   character set.
114 >
115 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-0 Build 12543) Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:00:08 +0000
116 >
117 > 1. Firebird 4 support added.
118 >
119 > 2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
120 >   extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
121 >
122 > 3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
123 >
124 > 4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
125 >   and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
126 >
127 > 5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
128 >   - new data types as above
129 >   - Identity column extensions
130 >   - Default user role
131 >   - SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
132 >   - Internal Functions
133 >
134 > 6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
135 >
136 > 7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
137 >
138 > 8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
139 >   and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
140 >
141 > 9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
142 >   format for rendering a time zone.
143 >
144 > 10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
145 >     to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
146 >
147 > 11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
148 >    IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
149 >
150 > 12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
151 >    now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
152 >
153 > 13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
154 >    truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
155 >    white space to the maximum data size.
156 >
157 > 14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
158 >    table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
159 >    also empty.
160 >
161 > 15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
162 >
163 > 16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
164 >    connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
165 >
166 > 17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
167 >
168 > 18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
169 >
170 > 19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
171 >    not being present as required.
172 >
173 > 20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
174 >    version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
175 >
176 > 21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
177 >    unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
178 >
179 > 22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
180 >    seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
181 >
182 > 23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
183 >      property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
184 >      IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
185 >
186 > 24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.
187 >
188 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 12350) Tue, 25 Aug 2020 16:11:02 +0100
189 >
190 > 1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
191 >    number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
192 >    to the maximum string size. This is  usually a problem with fixed width columns
193 >    right padded with white space.
194 >
195 > 2.  SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset.
196 >    If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the
197 >    SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
198 >    ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
199 >    dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
200 >    on the dataset.
201 >
202 > 3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
203 >    side filters).
204 >
205 > 4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
206 >   text matches complete entry.
207 >
208 > 5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
209 >   dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
210 >
211 > 6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
212 >
213 > 7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
214 >   This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
215 >
216 > 8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
217 >   This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
218 >   a duplicate initial row.
219 >
220 > 9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
221 >   That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
222 >   value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
223 >   for the field.
224 >
225 > 10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
226 >
227 > 11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
228 >    and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
229 >    older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
230 >    upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
231 >    In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
232 >    added back in.
233 >
234 > 12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
235 >    false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
236 >
237 > 12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
238 >    should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
239 >    is cancelled.
240 >
241 > 13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
242 >    called on a null field.
243 >
244 > 14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
245 >    results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
246 > set.
247 >
248 > 15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
249 >    a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
250 >
251 > 16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
252 >
253 > 17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
254 >
255 > 18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
256 >    possible and an exception raised.
257 >
258 > 19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
259 >    below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
260 >
261 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-4 Build 12041) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:00:32 +0100
262 >
263 > 1.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
264 >    not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
265 >
266 > 2.  TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is
267 >    passed to the Firebird engine for execution.
268 >
269 > 3.  TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt
270 >    is made to scroll back.
271 >
272 > 4.  New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
273 >
274 > 5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
275 >   only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
276 >
277 > 6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
278 >   validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
279 >   been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
280 >   if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.
281 >
282 > 7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance
283 >   with fpc 3.2.
284 >
285 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-3 Build 11512) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000
