3	>	1. TFBClientAPI.GetProcAddr. Add check for nil reference.
4	>
5	>	2. IStatement: new methods:
6	>	procedure SetStaleReferenceChecks(Enable:boolean); {default true}
7	>	function GetStaleReferenceChecks: boolean;
8	>
9	>	In previous versions, stale reference checks were always enabled. This allows the
10	>	user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date
11	>	statement BLR. See User Guide.
12	>
13	>	3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a
14	>	stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing
15	>	BEGIN..END block.
16	>
17	>	FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-1 Build 12776) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:09:33 +0100
18	>
19	>	1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers.
20	>
21	>	2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method
22	>	will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are
23	>	shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a
24	>	separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation.
25	>
26	>	The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new
27	>	IAttachment interface functions:
28	>
29	>	function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer;
30	>	procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer);
31	>
32	>	3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API
33	>	user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement
34	>	interface. Three new functions are defined:
35	>
36	>	procedure AddToBatch;
37	>	function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion;
38	>	procedure CancelBatch;
39	>	function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion;
40	>	function GetBatchRowLimit: integer;
41	>	procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer);
42	>
43	>	Also
44	>
45	>	function IsInBatchMode: boolean;        {true after call to execute(eaDefer)}
46	>	function HasBatchMode: boolean;         {true if and only if IBatch Supported}
47	>
48	>	For more information see the User Guide.
49	>
50	>	4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages
51	>	provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts.
52	>
53	>	5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0
54	>
55	>	6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString;
56	>	Returns SQL Statement type as a text string;
57	>
58	>	7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to
59	>	an integer instead of "trunc". This is for compatibility with TFloatField.AsInteger.
60	>
61	>	FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-1 Build 12552) Wed, 09 Jun 2021 13:05:40 +0100
62	>
63	>	1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a
64	>	typo in FB30Statement.pas that caused an unknown parameter error.
65	>
66	>	FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-0 Build 12520) Fri, 19 Feb 2021 13:27:23 +0000
67	>
68	>	1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4.
69	>
70	>	2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree.
71	>
72	>	3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types.
73	>
74	>	4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision.
75	>
76	>	5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider.
77	>	QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The
78	>	interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides
79	>	type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn
80	>	off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster.
81	>
82	>	6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
83	>	function HasLocalTZDB: boolean;
84	>	function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
85	>	function HasExtendedTZSupport: boolean;
86	>	procedure SQLDecFloatEncode(aValue: tBCD; SQLType: cardinal; bufptr: PByte);
87	>	function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD;
88	>
89	>	7. New IAttachment Calls:
90	>	function HasDecFloatSupport: boolean;
91	>	function GetTimeZoneServices: ITimeZoneServices;
92	>	function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
93	>
94	>	8. New Interface ITimeZoneServices.
95	>
96	>	9. New ISQLData API Calls:
97	>	procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
98	>	procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
99	>	procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
100	>	procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
101	>	function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
102	>	function GetAsBCD: tBCD;

111	>	function GetStatement: IStatement;
112	>	function GetTransaction: ITransaction;
113	>	procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
114	>	procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;

116	>	procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
117	>	procedure SetAsUTCDateTime(aUTCTime: TDateTime);
118	>	procedure SetAsBcd(aValue: tBCD);
119	>
120	>	11. New IArray API Calls
121	>	procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
122	>	procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;

149	>	SIGEVENT error when a programme using the embeded server is unloaded.
150	>
151	>	FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-6 Build 12237) Tue, 21 Jul 2020 08:54:21 +0100
152	>
153	>	1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API
154	>	with a Firebrid 3 client library.
155	>
156	>	2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library.
157	>	If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment
158	>	variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory
159	>	are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default
160	>	client library used.
161	>
162	>	3.  IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API
163	>
164	>	4.  Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer.
165	>
166	>	5.  SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is
167	>	returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so
168	>	that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column.
169	>	SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is
170	>	correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic
171	>	trimming of trailing white space.
172	>
173	>	6.  New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
174	>	function GetClientMajor: integer;
175	>	function GetClientMinor: integer;
176	>
177	>	7.  IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method
178	>	function GetCharSetWidth: integer;
179	>
180	>	FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-5 Build 12022) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 10:35:55 +0100
