1 + FBINTF Change Log  version                                                (1.1-1) Mon, 26 Feb 2018 11:11:53 +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 +      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
23 +
24 +   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
25 +   require a database lookup.
26 +
27 + 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
28 +   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
29 +
30 + 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
31 +   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
32 +   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
33 +   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
34 +   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
35 +
36 + 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
37 +
38 + 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
39 +
40 + 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
41 +   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
42 +   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
43 +   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
44 +
45 + 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
46 +
47 + 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
48 +    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
49 +    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
50 +    a string with code page CP_NONE.
51 +
52 + 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
53 +    test suite updated.
54 +
55 + 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
56 +    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
57 +
58 + 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
59 +    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
60 +    default connection port to be specified.
61 +
62 + FBINTF Change Log  version                             (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
63 +
64 + 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
65 +   Scale is no longer ignored.
66 +
67 + 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
68 +   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
69 +   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
70 +   to Firebird as Text Strings.
71 +
72 + 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
73 +   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
74 +
75 + 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
76 +   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
77 +   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
78 +   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
79 +
80 + 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
81 +   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
82 +   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
83 +   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
84 +
85 + 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
86 +   set supported by Firebird with the API.
87 +
88 + 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
89 +   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
90 +
91 + 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
92 +
93 + 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
94 +   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
95 +   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
96 +   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
97 +
98 + 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
99 +
100 + 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
101 +
102 + 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
103 +
104 + 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
105 +    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
106 +    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
107 +    an SQLDA error.
108 +
109 + 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
110 +
111 + 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
112 +    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
113 +
114 + 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
115 +    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
116 +
117 +
118 + FBINTF Change Log  version             (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
119 +
120 + 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
121 +
122 + 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
123 +   compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
124 +
125 + 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
126 +   defined for each interface.
127 +
128 + 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
129 +
130 + 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
131 +   where PAnsiChar is used instead.
132 +
133 + 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
134 +
135 + 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
136 +
137 + FBINTF Change Log  version            (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
138 +
139 + 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
140 +   large blobs and the FB3 API.
141 +
142 + 2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
143 +   event block.
144 +
145 + 3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
146 +
147 + 4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
148 +   DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
149 +   Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
150 +   though it is not required for character set none.
151 +
152 + 5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
153 +
154 + 6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
155 +
156 + 7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
157 +   CREATE DATABASE statement.
158 +
159 + 8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
160 +   an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
161 +
162 + 9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
163 +   when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
164 +
165 + 10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
166 +    statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
167 +    to enable stats gathering.
168 +
169 + 11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
170 +
171 + 12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
172 +
173 + 13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
174 +
