2 >
3 > 1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API
4 >   with a Firebrid 3 client library.
5 >
6 > 2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library.
7 >    If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment
8 >    variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory
9 >    are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default
10 >    client library used.
11 >
12 > 3.  IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API
13 >
14 > 4.  Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer.
15 >
16 > 5.  SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is
17 >    returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so
18 >    that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column.
19 >    SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is
20 >    correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic
21 >    trimming of trailing white space.
22 >
23 > 6.  New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
24 >      function GetClientMajor: integer;
25 >      function GetClientMinor: integer;
26 >
27 > 7.  IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method
28 >      function GetCharSetWidth: integer;
29 >

32 >
33 > 1. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are
34 >   case sensitive
35 >
36 > 2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser.
37 >
38 > 3. New API Calls:
39 >        IColumnMetaData.GetStatement
40 >        IColumnMetaData.GetTransaction
41 >        ISQLData.GetStrLength
42 >        IResults.GetStatement
43 >        IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata)
44 >        IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata)
45 >
46 > 4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages
47 >
48 > 5. TFBArray.Create (2nd case): ensure that FFirebirdClientAPI is correctly set.
49 >
50 > 6. TIBSQLStatementType: SQLSavePoint added to end of enumeration.

53 >
54 > 1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
55 >   where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
56 >
57 > 2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
58 >   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
59 >   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
60 >
61 > 3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
62 >   is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
63 >   compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
64 >
65 > 4. IColumnMetaData: new method.
66 >
67 >   TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
68 >                        dfDateTime,   {SQL DATETIME}
69 >                        dfTime);
70 >
71 >   function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
72 >
73 >   This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
74 >   when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
75 >
76 > 5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
77 >     CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
78 >
79 >   If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
80 >   sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
81 >   sensitive name.
82 >
83 > 6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
84 >   is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
85 >   .AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
86 >   using .AsString.

91  
92   1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
93  
94 + 2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
95 +   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
96 +
97 + 3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
98 +   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
99 +   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
100 +
101 + 4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
102 +   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
103 +
104 + 5. New function added to IB.pas
105 +
106 +   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
107 +
108 +   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
109 +   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
110 +   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
111 +   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.
