+FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-0 Build 12476) Wed, 17 Feb 2021 10:13:50 +0000
->
->
+. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4.
->
->
+. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree.
->
->
+. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types.
->
->
+. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision.
->
->
+. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider.
->
+   QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The
->
+   interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides
->
+   type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn
->
+   off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster.
->
->
+. New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
->
+    function HasLocalTZDB: boolean;
->
+    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
->
+    function HasExtendedTZSupport: boolean;
->
+    procedure SQLDecFloatEncode(aValue: tBCD; SQLType: cardinal; bufptr: PByte);
->
+    function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD;
->
->
+. New IAttachment Calls:
->
+    function HasDecFloatSupport: boolean;
->
+    function GetTimeZoneServices: ITimeZoneServices;
->
+    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
->
->
+. New Interface ITimeZoneServices.
->
->
+. New ISQLData API Calls:
->
+    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
->
+    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
->
+    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
->
+    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
->
+    function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
->
+    function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
->
->
+. New ISQLParam API Calls
->
+    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
->
+    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
->
+    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
->
+    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
->
+    function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
->
+    function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
->
+    function GetStatement: IStatement;
->
+    function GetTransaction: ITransaction;
->
+    procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
->
+    procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
->

+    procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
->
+    procedure SetAsUTCDateTime(aUTCTime: TDateTime);
->
+    procedure SetAsBcd(aValue: tBCD);
->
->
+. New IArray API Calls
->
+    procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
->
+    procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
->
+    procedure GetAsTime(index: array of integer; var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
->
+    procedure GetAsTime(index: array of integer; var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
->
+    function GetAsUTCDateTime(index: array of integer): TDateTime;

->
+    procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
->
->
+. Utility functions in IBUtils
->
+    function ParseDateTimeTZString(aDateTimeStr: Ansistring; var aDateTime: TDateTime;
->
+              var aTimezone: AnsiString; aFormatSettings: TFormatSettings; TimeOnly: boolean=false): boolean;
->
+    procedure FBDecodeTime(aTime: TDateTime; var Hour, Minute, Second: word; var DeciMillisecond: cardinal);
->
+    function FBEncodeTime(Hour, Minute, Second, DeciMillisecond: cardinal): TDateTime;
->
+    function FBFormatDateTime(fmt: AnsiString; aDateTime: TDateTime): AnsiString;
->
+    function FormatTimeZoneOffset(EffectiveTimeOffsetMins: integer): AnsiString;
->
+    function DecodeTimeZoneOffset(TZOffset: AnsiString; var dstOffset: integer): boolean;
->
->
+. IDPB, ITPB and ISPB: new interface method
->
+      function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem;
->
+    This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its
->
+    symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...'
->
->
+. IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem: new interface method:
->
+      function getParamTypeName: AnsiString;
->
->
+. fb_shutdown now called before unloading Firebird library. This can avoid a
->
+     SIGEVENT error when a programme using the embeded server is unloaded.
->
->
+FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-6 Build 12237) Tue, 21 Jul 2020 08:54:21 +0100
->
->
+. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API
->
+   with a Firebrid 3 client library.
->
->
+. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library.
->
+    If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment
->
+    variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory
->
+    are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default
->
+    client library used.
->
->
+.  IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API
->
->
+.  Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer.
->
->
+.  SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is
->
+    returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so
->
+    that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column.
->
+    SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is
->
+    correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic
->
+    trimming of trailing white space.
->
->
+.  New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
->
+      function GetClientMajor: integer;
->
+      function GetClientMinor: integer;
->
->
+.  IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method
->
+      function GetCharSetWidth: integer;
->
->
+FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-5 Build 12022) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 10:35:55 +0100
->
->
+. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are
->
+   case sensitive
->
->
+. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser.
->
->
+. New API Calls:
->
+        IColumnMetaData.GetStatement
->
+        IColumnMetaData.GetTransaction
->
+        ISQLData.GetStrDataLength
->
+        IResults.GetStatement
->
+        IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata)
->
+        IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata)
->
->
+. FBMessages: removal of unused messages
->
->
+. TFBArray.Create (2nd case): ensure that FFirebirdClientAPI is correctly set.
->
->
+. TIBSQLStatementType: SQLSavePoint added to end of enumeration.
->
->
+FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-4 Build 11515)  Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:19 +0000
->
->
+. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
->
+   where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
->
->
+. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
->
+   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
->
+   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
->
->
+. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
->
+   is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
->
+   compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
->
->
+. IColumnMetaData: new method.
->
->
+   TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
->
+                        dfDateTime,   {SQL DATETIME}
->
+                        dfTime);
->
->
+   function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
->
->
+   This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
->
+   when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
->
->
+. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
->
+     CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
->
->
+   If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
->
+   sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
->
+   sensitive name.
->
->
+. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
->
+   is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
->
+   .AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
->
+   using .AsString.
->
->
->
->
+FBINTF Change Log  version                  (1.1-3) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:28:10 +0000
->
->
+. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
->
->
+. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
->
+   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
->
->
+. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
->
+   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
->
+   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
->
->
+. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
->
+   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
->
->
+. New function added to IB.pas
->
->
+   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
->
->
+   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
->
+   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
->
+   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
->
+   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.
->
->
+FBINTF Change Log  version               (1.1-2) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:30:32 +0100
+. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
+   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
+. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
-+
+. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
-+
-+
+. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
-+
-+
+. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.
