TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name using reg ex in order to + include remote system name. + +2.

TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events. + +2. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege. + +3. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using + hexadecimal notation. + +4. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements + using a simple XML format. + +5. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include + grants to these objects. + +6. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid + dependency problems restoring complex databases. + +7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of + embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition + to non-interactive data sources such as files. + +8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported. + +9. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported: + SET SQL DIALECT + SET TERM + SET AUTODDL + SET BAIL + SET ECHO + SET COUNT + SET STATS + SET NAMES + +10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information. + +11. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments., + and domain definitions. + +12. TIBExtract: Triggers now use SQL2003 syntax and database and transaction triggers + fully supported. + +13. TIBExtract: when a database dump includes data, the generator values are now also set. + +14: IBSQLEdit: Unit LCLPlatformDef added to uses clauses for lazarus 1.7 and later. + +IBX Change Log version (2.0-0) Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:33:44 +0000 + +See also doc/readme.upgrade-4-x.to.2-0-0.xhtml for important information on +upgrading to IBX2. + +1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field + and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such + as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField + code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour. + The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0. + +2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When + true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is + always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear + why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false. + +3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure + block. + +4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not + exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt + is made to create the database. + +5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database + has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when + creating a database after it was found not to exist. + +6. DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being + written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message + loop before rendering the row image. + +7. DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for + a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is + known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first + displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening + of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created. + +8. DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with + a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel. + +9. TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes. + +10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows. + +11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade. + +IBX Change Log version (1.4-3) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:15 +0100 + +1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration + when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for + http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622. + +2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server + since Firebird 1.5. + +3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or + similar. + +4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id. + +5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in + Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16. + +6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8 + regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This + is for compatibility with the LCL. + +IBX Change Log version (1.4-2) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:25:27 +0100 + +1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to + read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance + improvement when opening datasets containing blobs. + +2. Clearing a Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag. + +3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order + is now used. + +4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically + determined. + +5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened. + +6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post + lazarus 1.6.0 + +7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages" + compilation error. + +IBX Change Log version (1.4-1) Tue, 17 May 2016 09:14:51 +0100 + +1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the + character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then + Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character + set as the connection. + +2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow + for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path. + +3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name + to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the + entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only). + +4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the + column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue + Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value. + +5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating + column width. + +6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given + and a case insensitive search is requested. + +7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls + or column ListSource. + +8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an + unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed. + +9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer. + Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows. + +10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin. + Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0. + +11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed + +12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a + string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after + Firebird driver transliteration, if any. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for + earlier versions. + +13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString + will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver + if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. + +14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter + is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with + the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure + platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC + 3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when + the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page. + +15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set + name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the + Database is connected. + +16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage + id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName. + IBX Change Log version (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000 1.
