1 + FBINTF Change Log  version                                        (1.1-1) Wed, 24 Jan 2018 10:54:08 +0000
2 +
3 + 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
4 +
5 + 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
6 +     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
7 +     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
8 +
9 +   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
10 +   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
11 +   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
12 +   require a database lookup.
13 +
14 + 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
15 +
16 + 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
17 +
18 + 5. IAttachment: add
19 +      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
20 +      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
21 +      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
22 +
23 +   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
24 +   require a database lookup.
25 +
26 + 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
27 +   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
28 +
29 + 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
30 +   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
31 +   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
32 +   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
33 +   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
34 +
35 + 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
36 +
37 + 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
38 +
39 + FBINTF Change Log  version                             (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
40 +
41 + 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
42 +   Scale is no longer ignored.
43 +
44 + 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
45 +   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
46 +   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
47 +   to Firebird as Text Strings.
48 +
49 + 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
50 +   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
51 +
52 + 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
53 +   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
54 +   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
55 +   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
56 +
57 + 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
58 +   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
59 +   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
60 +   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
61 +
62 + 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
63 +   set supported by Firebird with the API.
64 +
65 + 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
66 +   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
67 +
68 + 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
69 +
70 + 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
71 +   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
72 +   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
73 +   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
74 +
75 + 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
76 +
77 + 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
78 +
79 + 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
80 +
81 + 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
82 +    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
83 +    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
84 +    an SQLDA error.
85 +
86 + 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
87 +
88 + 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
89 +    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
90 +
91 + 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
92 +    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
93 +
94 +
95 + FBINTF Change Log  version             (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
96 +
97 + 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
98 +
99 + 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
100 +   compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
101 +
102 + 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
103 +   defined for each interface.
104 +
105 + 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
106 +
107 + 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
108 +   where PAnsiChar is used instead.
109 +
110 + 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
111 +
112 + 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
113 +
114 + FBINTF Change Log  version            (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
115 +
116 + 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
117 +   large blobs and the FB3 API.
118 +
119 + 2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
120 +   event block.
121 +
122 + 3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
123 +
124 + 4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
125 +   DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
126 +   Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
127 +   though it is not required for character set none.
128 +
129 + 5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
130 +
131 + 6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
132 +
133 + 7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
134 +   CREATE DATABASE statement.
135 +
136 + 8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
137 +   an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
138 +
139 + 9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
140 +   when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
141 +
142 + 10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
143 +    statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
144 +    to enable stats gathering.
145 +
146 + 11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
147 +
148 + 12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
149 +
150 + 13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
151 +
