3 > 1. TIBTransaction: new properties
4 >    property TransactionID: integer read GetTransactionID;
5 >    property IsReadOnly: boolean read GetIsReadOnly;
6 >    {published}
7 >    property TransactionName: string read FTransactionName write SetTransactionName;
8 >
9 > 2. IBCustomDataset: per row blob and array buffer cached clear before processing
10 >   Insert or Update...Returning. This allows blobs and arrays to be returned
11 >   by the statement.
12 >
13 > 3. TSQLXMLReader moved from IBXScript to package fbintf unit IBUtils.
14 >
15 > 4. TransactionName initialised to a newly generated GUID if empty.
16 >
17 > 5. New unit: IBJournal. This provides the TIBJournal component which is a wrapper
18 >   for the fbintf package's journaling capability. TIBJournal is used to set the
19 >   file path and filename for the journal file and to Enabled (start journaling) and
20 >   disable (stop journaling). See fbintf/doc/README.ClientSideJournaling.pdf for
21 >   more information, and comments in IBJournal.pas.
22 >
23 > 6. TIBDatabase.InternalTransaction is now a read only transaction.
24 >
25 > 7. Bug fix: blob id no longer set to null on update when blob has not been
26 >   retrieved.
27 >
28 > 8. Row auto refreshed on update/insert if blob or array field updated and field
29 >   not in a returning clause.
30 >
31 > 9. ColumnCount moved from record buffer header to a single per dataset count. Reduces
32 >   buffer overhead and avoids problem when refresh query has a different column
33 >   count to select query i.e. incorrectly changing number of columns.
34 >
35 > 10. IBExtract: support added for UDR Functions, Procedure and Trigger declarations.
36 >
37 > 11. TIBDatabaseInfo. New property FirebirdVersion. This returns the current Firebird version
38 >    string. Note that the Version property returns an InterBase compatible version string.
39 >
40 > 12. IBExtract: ensure sql identifiers returned as a LIST are always quoted.
41 >
42 > IBX Change Log  version (2.5-0 Build 12933) Mon, 29 Nov 2021 14:59:54 +0000
43 >
44 > 1. IBCustomDataset: Modify TISQL component now defaults to GoToFirstRecordOnExecute := true.
45 >   This is for compatibility with Firebird 5 where Update...Returning can return
46 >   a cursor.
47 >
48 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-3 Build 12886) Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:58:30 +0100
49 >
50 > 1. Add try-..except check when initially loading library in IDE. This should
51 > ensure that IDE continues to load even when a failure occurs in IBX load
52 > library.
53 >
54 > 2. IBXScript: now recognises a CASE...END block within a stored procedure and
55 >   hence will correctly detect end of the outer containing block when the block
56 >   contains a SELECT ... CASE ... END construct.
57 >
58 > 3. IBExtract: some further tidying up to remove extraneous white space.
59 >
60 > 4. IBCustomDataSet: DefaultFieldClasses array declaration updated to avoid compile time
61 >   errors when extra elements are added to DB.TFieldType.
62 >
63 > 5. IBUpdate: updated to reflect changes to ISQLParam.
64 >
65 > 6. IBXScript: now correctly parses a DECLARE statement which includes a quoted string.
66 >
67 > 7. IBExtract: for ODS >=13, increment generator value by one for ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
68 >
69 > 8. IBSQL: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
70 >
71 > IBX Change Log  version (2.4-2 Build 12773) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:59:42 +0100
72 >
73 > 1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the
74 >   exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo.
75 >
76 > 2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added.
77 >
78 > 3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property
79 >   is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a
80 >   SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g.
81 >   as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE".
82 >
83 >   There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered
84 >   manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the
85 >   StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as
86 >   CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should
87 >   ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was
88 >   declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double
89 >   quotes).
90 >
91 >   Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes,
92 >   as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not
93 >   include the delimiters (double quotes).
94 >
95 > 4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in
96 >   upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem.
97 >
98 > 5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to
99 >   'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given
100 >   version no.) in the upgrade.conf file.
101 >

103 >
104 > 1. -c command line option added to fbsql example program. Used to set connection
105 >   character set.

108 >
109 > 1. Firebird 4 support added.
110 >
111 > 2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
112 >   extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
113 >
114 > 3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
115 >
116 > 4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
117 >   and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
118 >
119 > 5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
120 >   - new data types as above
121 >   - Identity column extensions
122 >   - Default user role
123 >   - SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
124 >   - Internal Functions
125 >
126 > 6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
127 >
128 > 7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
129 >
130 > 8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
131 >   and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
132 >
133 > 9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
134 >   format for rendering a time zone.
135 >
136 > 10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
137 >     to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
138 >
139 > 11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
140 >    IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
141 >
142 > 12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
143 >    now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
144 >
145 > 13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
146 >    truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
147 >    white space to the maximum data size.
148 >
149 > 14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
150 >    table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
151 >    also empty.
152 >
153 > 15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
154 >
155 > 16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
156 >    connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
157 >
158 > 17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
159 >
160 > 18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
161 >
162 > 19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
163 >    not being present as required.
164 >
165 > 20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
166 >    version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
167 >
168 > 21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
169 >    unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
170 >
171 > 22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
172 >    seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
173 >
174 > 23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
175 >      property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
176 >      IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
177 >
178 > 24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.

182   1.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
183      number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
# Line 10 | Line 189 | IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 122
189      SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
190      ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
191      dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
192 <    on the dataset. (Not yet tested)
192 >    on the dataset.
193  
194   3.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
195      side filters).
196  
197 + 4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
198 +   text matches complete entry.
199 +
200 + 5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
201 +   dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
202 +
203 + 6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
204 +
205 + 7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
206 +   This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
207 +
208 + 8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
209 +   This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
210 +   a duplicate initial row.
211 +
212 + 9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
213 +   That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
214 +   value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
215 +   for the field.
216 +
217 + 10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
218 +
219 + 11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
220 +    and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
221 +    older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
222 +    upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
223 +    In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
224 +    added back in.
225 +
226 + 12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
227 +    false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
228 +
229 + 12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
230 +    should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
231 +    is cancelled.
232 +
233 + 13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
234 +    called on a null field.
235 +
236 + 14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
237 +    results in an empty dataTC86                Client side Filtered Dataset    1       X
238 + set.
239 +
240 + 15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
241 +    a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
242 +
243 + 16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
244 +
245 + 17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
246 +
247 + 18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
248 +    possible and an exception raised.
249 +
250 + 19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
251 +    below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
252 +
