1 + FBINTF Change Log  version                    (1.1-0) Thu, 26 Oct 2017 13:46:32 +0100
2 +
3 + 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
4 +   Scale is no longer ignored.
5 +
6 + 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
7 +   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
8 +   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
9 +   to Firebird as Text Strings.
10 +
11 + 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
12 +   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
13 +
14 + 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
15 +   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
16 +   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
17 +   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
18 +
19 + 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
20 +   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
21 +   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
22 +   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
23 +
24 + 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
25 +   set supported by Firebird with the API.
26 +
27 + 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
28 +   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
29 +
30 + 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
31 +
32 + 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
33 +   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
34 +   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
35 +   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
36 +
37 + 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
38 +
39 + 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
40 +
41 + 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
42 +
43 + 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
44 +    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
45 +    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
46 +    an SQLDA error.
47 +
48 + 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
49 +
50 + 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
51 +    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
52 +
53 + 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
54 +    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
55 +
56 +
57 + FBINTF Change Log  version             (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
58 +
59 + 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
60 +
61 + 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
62 +   compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
63 +
64 + 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
65 +   defined for each interface.
66 +
67 + 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
68 +
69 + 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
70 +   where PAnsiChar is used instead.
71 +
72 + 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
73 +
74 + 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
75 +
76 + FBINTF Change Log  version            (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
77 +
78 + 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
79 +   large blobs and the FB3 API.
80 +
81 + 2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
82 +   event block.
83 +
84 + 3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
85 +
86 + 4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
87 +   DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
88 +   Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
89 +   though it is not required for character set none.
90 +
91 + 5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
92 +
93 + 6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
94 +
95 + 7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
96 +   CREATE DATABASE statement.
97 +
98 + 8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
99 +   an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
100 +
101 + 9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
102 +   when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
103 +
104 + 10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
105 +    statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
106 +    to enable stats gathering.
107 +
108 + 11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
109 +
110 + 12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
111 +
112 + 13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
113 +
