6 >
7 > 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
8 >   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
9 >
10 > 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
11 >    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
12 >    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
13 >
14 > 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
15 >    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
16 >    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
17 >    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
18 >
19 > 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
20 >    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
21 >
22 > 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
23 >   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
24 >   up to the last fetch.
25 >
26 > 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
27 >   the problem.
28 >
29 > 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
30 >   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
31 >
32 > 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
33 >
34 > 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
35 >
36 > 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
37 >
38 > 13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.
39 >
40 >
41 > FBINTF Change Log  version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
42 >
43 > 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
44 >
45 > 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
46 >     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
47 >     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
48 >
49 >   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
50 >   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
51 >   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
52 >   require a database lookup.
53 >
54 > 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
55 >
56 > 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
57 >
58 > 5. IAttachment: add
59 >      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
60 >      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
61 >      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
62 >      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
63 >
64 >   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
65 >   require a database lookup.
66 >
67 > 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
68 >   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
69 >
70 > 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
71 >   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
72 >   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
73 >   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
74 >   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
75 >
76 > 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
77 >
78 > 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
79 >
80 > 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
81 >   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
82 >   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
83 >   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
84 >
85 > 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
86 >
87 > 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
88 >    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
89 >    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
90 >    a string with code page CP_NONE.
91 >
92 > 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
93 >    test suite updated.
94 >
95 > 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
96 >    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
97 >
98 > 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
99 >    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
100 >    default connection port to be specified.
101 >

103 >
104 > 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
105 >   Scale is no longer ignored.
106 >
107 > 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
108 >   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
109 >   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
110 >   to Firebird as Text Strings.
111 >
112 > 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
113 >   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
114 >
115 > 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
116 >   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
117 >   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
118 >   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
119 >
120 > 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
121 >   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
122 >   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
123 >   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
124 >
125 > 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
126 >   set supported by Firebird with the API.
127 >
128 > 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
129 >   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
130 >
131 > 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
132 >
133 > 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
134 >   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
135 >   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
136 >   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
137 >
138 > 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
139 >
140 > 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
141 >
142 > 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
143 >
144 > 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
145 >    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
146 >    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
147 >    an SQLDA error.
148 >
149 > 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
150 >
151 > 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
152 >    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
153 >
154 > 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
155 >    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
156 >
157 >
158 > FBINTF Change Log  version             (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
159 >
160 > 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
161 >
162 > 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
163 >   compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
164 >
165 > 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
166 >   defined for each interface.
167 >
168 > 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
169 >
170 > 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
171 >   where PAnsiChar is used instead.
172 >
173 > 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
174 >
175 > 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
176 >
177 > FBINTF Change Log  version            (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000

179   1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
180     large blobs and the FB3 API.
