2 >
3 > 1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
4 >
5 > 2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
6 >   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
7 >
8 > 3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
9 >   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
10 >   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
11 >
12 > 4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
13 >   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
14 >
15 > 5. New function added to IB.pas
16 >
17 >   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
18 >
19 >   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
20 >   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
21 >   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
22 >   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.
23 >
24 > FBINTF Change Log  version               (1.1-2) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:30:32 +0100
25 >
26 > 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
27 >   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
28 >
29 > 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
30 >    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
31 >    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
32 >
33 > 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
34 >    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
35 >    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
36 >    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
37 >
38 > 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
39 >    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
40 >
41 > 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
42 >   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
43 >   up to the last fetch.
44 >
45 > 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
46 >   the problem.
47 >
48 > 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
49 >   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
50 >
51 > 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
52 >
53 > 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
54 >
55 > 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
56 >
57 > 13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.
58 >
59 >
60 > FBINTF Change Log  version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
61 >
62 > 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
63 >
64 > 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
65 >     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
66 >     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
67 >
68 >   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
69 >   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
70 >   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
71 >   require a database lookup.
72 >
73 > 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
74 >
75 > 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
76 >
77 > 5. IAttachment: add
78 >      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
79 >      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
80 >      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
81 >      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
82 >
83 >   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
84 >   require a database lookup.
85 >
86 > 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
87 >   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
88 >
89 > 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
90 >   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
91 >   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
92 >   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
93 >   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
94 >
95 > 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
96 >
97 > 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
98 >
99 > 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
100 >   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
101 >   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
102 >   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
103 >
104 > 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
105 >
106 > 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
107 >    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
108 >    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
109 >    a string with code page CP_NONE.
110 >
111 > 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
112 >    test suite updated.
113 >
114 > 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
115 >    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
116 >
117 > 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
118 >    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
119 >    default connection port to be specified.
120 >
121 > FBINTF Change Log  version                             (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
122 >
123 > 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
124 >   Scale is no longer ignored.
125 >
126 > 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
127 >   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
128 >   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
129 >   to Firebird as Text Strings.
130 >
131 > 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
132 >   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
133 >
134 > 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
135 >   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
136 >   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
137 >   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
138 >
139 > 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
140 >   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
141 >   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
142 >   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
143 >
144 > 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
145 >   set supported by Firebird with the API.
146 >
147 > 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
148 >   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
149 >
150 > 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
151 >
152 > 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
153 >   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
154 >   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
155 >   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
156 >
157 > 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
158 >
159 > 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
160 >
161 > 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
162 >
163 > 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
164 >    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
165 >    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
166 >    an SQLDA error.
167 >
168 > 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
169 >
170 > 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
171 >    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
172 >
173 > 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
174 >    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
175 >
176 >

178 >
179 > 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
180 >
181 > 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
182 >   compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
183 >
184 > 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
185 >   defined for each interface.
186 >
187 > 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
188 >
189 > 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
190 >   where PAnsiChar is used instead.
191 >
192 > 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
193 >
194 > 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
195 >
