51   1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
52     where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
53  
54 + 2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
55 +   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
56 +   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
57 +
58 + 3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
59 +   is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
60 +   compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
61 +
62 + 4. IColumnMetaData: new method.
63 +
64 +   TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
65 +                        dfDateTime,   {SQL DATETIME}
66 +                        dfTime);
67 +
68 +   function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
69 +
70 +   This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
71 +   when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
72 +
73 + 5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
74 +     CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
75 +
76 +   If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
77 +   sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
78 +   sensitive name.
79 +
80 + 6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
81 +   is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
82 +   .AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
83 +   using .AsString.
84 +
