3 > 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
4 >   program compiled with -CR command line switch.

6 > 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
7 >    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
8 >    function getPortNo: AnsiString;

10 > 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
11 >    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
12 >    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;

18 > 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
19 >   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
20 >   up to the last fetch.
21 >
22 > 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
23 >   the problem.

30 >
31 > 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
32 >
33 > 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
34 >     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
35 >     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
36 >
37 >   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
38 >   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
39 >   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
40 >   require a database lookup.
41 >
42 > 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
43 >
44 > 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
45 >
46 > 5. IAttachment: add
47 >      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
48 >      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
49 >      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
50 >      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
51 >
52 >   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
53 >   require a database lookup.
54 >
55 > 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
56 >   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
57 >
58 > 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
59 >   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
60 >   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
61 >   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
62 >   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
63 >
64 > 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
65 >
66 > 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
67 >
68 > 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
69 >   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
70 >   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
71 >   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
72 >
73 > 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
74 >
75 > 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
76 >    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
77 >    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
78 >    a string with code page CP_NONE.
79 >
80 > 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
81 >    test suite updated.
82 >
83 > 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
84 >    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
85 >
86 > 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
87 >    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
88 >    default connection port to be specified.

92   1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
93     Scale is no longer ignored.
# Line 8 | Line 97 | FBINTF Change Log  version             (
97     cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
98     to Firebird as Text Strings.
99  
100 + 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
101 +   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
102 +
103 + 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
104 +   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
105 +   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
106 +   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
107 +
108 + 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
109 +   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
110 +   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
111 +   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
112 +
113 + 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
114 +   set supported by Firebird with the API.
115 +
116 + 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
117 +   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
118 +
119 + 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
120 +
121 + 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
122 +   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
123 +   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
124 +   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
125 +
126 + 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
127 +
128 + 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
129 +
130 + 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
131 +
132 + 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
133 +    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
134 +    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
135 +    an SQLDA error.
136 +
137 + 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
138 +
139 + 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
140 +    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
141 +
142 + 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
143 +    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
144 +
