+FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-5 Build 11664) Thu, 11 Apr 2019 09:43:40 +0100
-+
-+
+. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are
-+
+   case sensitive
-+
-+
+. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser.
-+
-+
+FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-4 Build 11515)  Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:19 +0000
-+
-+
+. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
-+
+   where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
-+
-+
+. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
-+
+   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
-+
+   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
-+
-+
+. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
-+
+   is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
-+
+   compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
-+
-+
+. IColumnMetaData: new method.
-+
-+
+   TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
-+
+                        dfDateTime,   {SQL DATETIME}
-+
+                        dfTime);
-+
-+
+   function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
-+
-+
+   This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
-+
+   when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
-+
-+
+. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
-+
+     CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
-+
-+
+   If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
-+
+   sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
-+
+   sensitive name.
-+
-+
+. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
-+
+   is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
-+
+   .AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
-+
+   using .AsString.
-+
-+
-+
-+
+FBINTF Change Log  version                  (1.1-3) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:28:10 +0000
-+
-+
+. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
-+
-+
+. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
-+
+   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
-+
-+
+. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
-+
+   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
-+
+   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
-+
-+
+. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
-+
+   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
-+
-+
+. New function added to IB.pas
-+
-+
+   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
-+
-+
+   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
-+
+   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
-+
+   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
-+
+   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.
-+
-+
+FBINTF Change Log  version               (1.1-2) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:30:32 +0100
-+
-+
+. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
-+
+   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
-+
-+
+. IServiceManager additions (informational):
-+
+    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
-+
+    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
-+
-+
+. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
-+
+    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
-+
+    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
-+
+    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
-+
-+
+. IAttachment addition (informational)
-+
+    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
-+
-+
+. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
-+
+   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
-+
+   up to the last fetch.
-+
-+
+. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
-+
+   the problem.
-+
-+
+. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
-+
+   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
-+
-+
+. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
-+
-+
+. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
-+
-+
+. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
-+
-+
+. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.
-+
-+
-+
+FBINTF Change Log  version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
-+
-+
+. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
-+
-+
+. IAttachment: add two new methods
-+
+     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
-+
+     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
-+
-+
+   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
-+
+   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
-+
+   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
-+
+   require a database lookup.
-+
-+
+. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
-+
-+
+. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
-+
-+
+. IAttachment: add
-+
+      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
-+
+      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
-+
+      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
-+
+      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
-+
-+
+   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
-+
+   require a database lookup.
-+
-+
+. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
-+
+   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
-+
-+
+. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
-+
+   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
-+
+   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
-+
+   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
-+
+   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
-+
-+
+. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
-+
-+
+. IBUtils code tidy up.
-+
-+
+. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
-+
+   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
-+
+   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
-+
+   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
-+
-+
+. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
-+
-+
+. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
-+
+    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
-+
+    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
-+
+    a string with code page CP_NONE.
-+
-+
+. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
-+
+    test suite updated.
-+
-+
+. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
-+
+    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
-+
-+
+. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
-+
+    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
-+
+    default connection port to be specified.
-+
-+
+FBINTF Change Log  version                             (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
-+
-+
+. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
-+
+   Scale is no longer ignored.
-+
-+
+. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
-+
+   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
-+
+   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
-+
+   to Firebird as Text Strings.
-+
-+
+. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
-+
+   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
-+
-+
+. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
-+
+   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
-+
+   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
-+
+   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
-+
-+
+. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
-+
+   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
-+
+   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
-+
+   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
-+
-+
+. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
-+
+   set supported by Firebird with the API.
-+
-+
+. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
-+
+   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
-+
-+
+. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
-+
-+
+. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
-+
+   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
-+
+   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
-+
+   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
-+
-+
+. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
-+
-+
+. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
-+
-+
+. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
-+
-+
+. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
-+
+    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
-+
+    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
-+
+    an SQLDA error.
-+
-+
+. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
-+
-+
+. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
-+
+    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
-+
-+
+. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
-+
+    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
-+
-+
+FBINTF Change Log  version             (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
