+IBX Change Log  version (2.3-5 Build 12341) Mon, 24 Aug 2020 10:23:35 +0100
->
->
+.  TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
->
+    number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
->
+    to the maximum string size. This is  usually a problem with fixed width columns
->
+    right padded with white space.
->
->
+.  SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset.
->
+    If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the
->
+    SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
->
+    ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
->
+    dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
->
+    on the dataset. (Not yet tested)
->
->
+.  The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
->
+    side filters).
->
->
+. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
->
+   text matches complete entry.
->
->
+. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
->
+   dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
->
->
+. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
->
->
+. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
->
+   This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
->
->
+. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
->
+   This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
->
+   a duplicate initial row.
->
->
+. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
->
+   That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
->
+   value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
->
+   for the field.
->
->
+. IBExtact: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
->
->
+. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
->
+    and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
->
+    older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
->
+    upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
->
+    In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
->
+    added back in.
->
->
+. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
->
+    should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
->
+    is cancelled.
->
->
+IBX Change Log  version (2.3-4 Build 12041) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:00:32 +0100
->
->
+.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
->
+    not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
->
->
+.  TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is
->
+    passed to the Firebird engine for execution.
->
->
+.  TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt
->
+    is made to scroll back.
->
->
+.  New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
->
->
+. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
->
+   only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
->
->
+. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
->
+   validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
->
+   been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
->
+   if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.
->
->
+. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance
->
+   with fpc 3.2.
->
->
+IBX Change Log  version (2.3-3 Build 11512) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000
->
+. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
+   and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
+   is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
+   ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
-+
+. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
-+
+   not "INT64".
-+
-+
+. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
-+
+   These are:
-+
+    property TimestampFormat: string;
-+
+    property DateFormat: string;
-+
+    property TimeFormat: string;
-+
-+
+   Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
-+
+   DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
-+
+   characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
-+
-+
+   If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
-+
+   is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
-+
+   locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
-+
-+
+   TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
-+
+   two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
-+
-+
+. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
-+
+     property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
-+
-+
+   If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
-+
+   used to delimit each and every string in the output.
-+
-+
+. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
-+
+    property FieldSeparator: string;
-+
+    property HeaderSeparator: string;
-+
-+
+   Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
-+
+   in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
-+
-+
+. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
-+
+    TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
-+
+    property OnFormatTextString;
-+
-+
+   This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
-+
+   in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
-+
+   This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
-+
-+
+. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
-+
+   Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
-+
+   and without raising and exception if it does not.
-+
-+
+. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
-+
+   consistency with SQL queries.
-+
-+
+. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
-+
+    When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
-+
+    TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
-+
-+
+. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
-+
+    an IDE exception.
-+
-+
+. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
-+
+    when the schema source is an sql file.
-+
-+
+. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
-+
+    when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
-+
+    initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
-+
+    to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
-+
-+
+. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
-+
+    to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
-+
+    Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
-+
+    when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
-+
-+
+. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
-+
+    are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
-+
+    the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
-+
+    IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
-+
+    completely ignored if this property is true.
-+
-+
+. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
-+
+    to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
-+
+    ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
-+
-+
+. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
-+
+    read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
-+
+    the same database connection.
-+
-+
+. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
-+
+    if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
-+
+    including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
-+
+    "Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
-+
+    the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
-+
+    in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
-+
-+
+    If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
-+
+    and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
-+
-+
+    The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
-+
+    value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
-+
-+
+    This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
-+
+    use at run time.
-+
-+
+    Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
-+
+    is unaffected by this change.
