+FBINTF Change Log  version                (1.1-3) Fri, 27 Apr 2018 09:06:10 +0100
-+
-+
+. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
-+
-+
+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.
-+
-+
+. IServiceManager additions (informational):
-+
+    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
-+
+    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
-+
-+
+. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
-+
+    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
-+
+    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
-+
+    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
-+
-+
+. IAttachment addition (informational)
-+
+    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
-+
-+
+. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
-+
+   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
-+
+   up to the last fetch.
-+
-+
+. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
-+
+   the problem.
-+
-+
+. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
-+
+   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
-+
-+
+. 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.
-+
-+
-+
+FBINTF Change Log  version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
-+
-+
+. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
-+
-+
+. IAttachment: add two new methods
-+
+     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
-+
+     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
-+
-+
+   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
-+
+   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
-+
+   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
-+
+   require a database lookup.
-+
-+
+. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
-+
-+
+. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
-+
-+
+. IAttachment: add
-+
+      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
-+
+      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
-+
+      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
-+
+      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
-+
-+
+   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
-+
+   require a database lookup.
-+
-+
+. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
-+
+   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
-+
-+
+. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
-+
+   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
-+
+   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
-+
+   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
-+
+   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
-+
-+
+. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
-+
-+
+. IBUtils code tidy up.
-+
-+
+. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
-+
+   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
-+
+   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
-+
+   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
-+
-+
+. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
-+
-+
+. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
-+
+    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
-+
+    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
-+
+    a string with code page CP_NONE.
-+
-+
+. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
-+
+    test suite updated.
-+
-+
+. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
-+
+    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
-+
-+
+. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
-+
+    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
-+
+    default connection port to be specified.
-+
-+
+FBINTF Change Log  version                             (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
-+
-+
+. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
-+
+   Scale is no longer ignored.
-+
-+
+. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
-+
+   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
-+
+   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
-+
+   to Firebird as Text Strings.
-+
-+
+. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
-+
+   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
-+
-+
+. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
-+
+   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
-+
+   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
-+
+   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
-+
-+
+. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
-+
+   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
-+
+   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
-+
+   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
-+
-+
+. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
-+
+   set supported by Firebird with the API.
-+
-+
+. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
-+
+   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
-+
-+
+. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
-+
-+
+. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
-+
+   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
-+
+   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
-+
+   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
-+
-+
+. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
-+
-+
+. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
-+
-+
+. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
-+
-+
+. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
-+
+    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
-+
+    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
-+
+    an SQLDA error.
-+
-+
+. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
-+
-+
+. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
-+
+    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
-+
-+
+. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
-+
+    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
-+
-+
-+
+FBINTF Change Log  version             (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
-+
-+
+. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
-+
-+
+. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
-+
+   compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
-+
-+
+. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
-+
+   defined for each interface.
-+
-+
+. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
-+
-+
+. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
-+
+   where PAnsiChar is used instead.
-+
-+
+. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
-+
-+
+. Testsuite updated for Delphi
-+
-+
+FBINTF Change Log  version            (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
-+
-+
+. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
-+
+   large blobs and the FB3 API.
-+
-+
+. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
-+
+   event block.
-+
-+
+. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
-+
-+
+. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
-+
+   DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
-+
+   Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
-+
+   though it is not required for character set none.
-+
-+
+. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
-+
-+
+. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
-+
-+
+. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
-+
+   CREATE DATABASE statement.
-+
-+
+. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
-+
+   an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
-+
-+
+. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
-+
+   when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
-+
-+
+. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
-+
+    statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
-+
+    to enable stats gathering.
-+
-+
+. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
-+
-+
+. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
-+
-+
+. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
-+
