3 > 1. IBUtils.FormatTimeZoneOffset A zero offset now includes a preceding '+' sign.
4 >
5 > 2. TFBStatement.DoJournaling now exits immediately if journaling is not active. The
6 >   motivation for this is to avoid calling the Firebird API function 'getInfo'
7 >   unnecesarily. This function can return an error if an incompatible parameter type was
8 >   applied to the statement and hence can confuse resolving the bug. Note: a
9 >   specific case is in (e.g.) OpenCursorAtStart method when the array of const includes a
10 >   TDateTime. In this case, the param is set to a floating point type rather than
11 >   a Firebird datetime (array of const loses the distinction).
12 >
13 > 3. TFBAttachment.SetParameters. if an attempt is made to set a parameter with a float
14 >   value, the metadata type is checked to see if the parameter is a Date/Time type. If so then
15 >   the value is assumed to be a TDateTime and the parameter is set using the AsDateTime
16 >   property. Otherwise, the value is assumed to be a floating point type and the AsDouble
17 >   property is used to set the property. This avoids the specific example given above.
18 >
19 > 4. IBHeader (legacy interface only) Definition of Start_Transaction changed to use
20 >   varargs - win64 compatibility issue.
21 >
22 > 5. FB25Blob: last parameter of call to isc_blob_lookup_desc is now set to nil. This
23 >   avoids memory corruption with Firebird 4 when using the legacy interface.
24 >
25 > 6. ISDL interface moved from FB30Array to IB. This is to avoid internal FPC compiler errors
26 >   consequential on the use of generics across units.
27 >
28 > 7. Internal changes necessary to correctly compile and run with FPC 3.3.1 and later.
29 >
30 > 8. Firebird 5 support tested.
31 >
32 > 9. Firebird.pas renamed to FirebirdOOAPI.pas in order to avoid confusion with
33 > version distributed with Firebird.

37   1. FBSQLData: ensure that TResults.getSQLData and TResults.GetData use same error
38     checks for range checking.
39  
40 + 2. FB25Client: In GetIBMessage, fb_interpret is now called multiple times such that
41 +   any additional error information is decoded.
42 +
43 + 3. FB25Statement: When changing a param type from Blob sub_type 1 to SQL_TEXT or SQL_VARYING
44 +   charsetid is now preserved and size is set to default blob size. Now aligns with
45 +   FB3 and later.
46 +
47 + 4. DDL and DML string literals are now explicitly set to the connection character
48 +   set rather than the default character set provided by the compiler.
49 +
50 + 5. General tidy up of transliteration functions, now centralised in IBUtils. FPC testing
51 +   now makes use of the RTL fpwidestring unit for support of international character
52 +   sets.
53 +
54 + 6. Database exception handling (see section 9.3 in user guide).
55 +    * For FB3 and later API: Connection Character set now applied to message returned
56 +      by fb_interpret and message then transliterated if necessary to the system character set.
57 +    * For Legacy API: The message character set is guessed as UTF8 unless invalid
58 +      UTF8 characters found when connection character set is assumed. Message then
59 +      transliterated if necessary to system character set.
60 +      Note: this difference of behaviour is because legacy API presents exception messages
61 +      "as is", while FB3 server attempts to transliterate to connection character set.
62 +
