2 >
3 > 1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4.
4 >
5 > 2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree.
6 >
7 > 3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types.
8 >
9 > 4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision.
10 >
11 > 5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider.
12 >   QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The
13 >   interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides
14 >   type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn
15 >   off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster.
16 >
17 > 6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
18 >    function HasLocalTZDB: boolean;
19 >    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
20 >    function HasExtendedTZSupport: boolean;
21 >    procedure SQLDecFloatEncode(aValue: tBCD; SQLType: cardinal; bufptr: PByte);
22 >    function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD;
23 >
24 > 7. New IAttachment Calls:
25 >    function HasDecFloatSupport: boolean;
26 >    function GetTimeZoneServices: ITimeZoneServices;
27 >    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
28 >
29 > 8. New Interface ITimeZoneServices.
30 >
31 > 9. New ISQLData API Calls:
32 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
33 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
34 >    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
35 >    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
36 >    function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
37 >    function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
38 >
39 > 10. New ISQLParam API Calls
40 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
41 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
42 >    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
43 >    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
44 >    function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
45 >    function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
46 >    function GetStatement: IStatement;
47 >    function GetTransaction: ITransaction;
48 >    procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
49 >    procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
50 >    procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
51 >    procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
52 >    procedure SetAsUTCDateTime(aUTCTime: TDateTime);
53 >    procedure SetAsBcd(aValue: tBCD);
54 >
55 > 11. New IArray API Calls
56 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
57 >    procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
58 >    procedure GetAsTime(index: array of integer; var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
59 >    procedure GetAsTime(index: array of integer; var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
60 >    function GetAsUTCDateTime(index: array of integer): TDateTime;

64 >    procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;

74 >
75 > 13. IDPB, ITPB and ISPB: new interface method
76 >      function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem;
77 >    This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its
78 >    symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...'
79 >
80 > 14. IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem: new interface method:
81 >      function getParamTypeName: AnsiString;
82 >
83 > 15. fb_shutdown now called before unloading Firebird library. This can avoid a
84 >     SIGEVENT error when a programme using the embeded server is unloaded.
85 >

87 >
88 > 1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API
89 >   with a Firebrid 3 client library.
90 >
91 > 2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library.
92 >    If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment
93 >    variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory
94 >    are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default
95 >    client library used.
96 >
97 > 3.  IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API
98 >
99 > 4.  Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer.
100 >
101 > 5.  SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is
102 >    returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so
103 >    that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column.
104 >    SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is
105 >    correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic
106 >    trimming of trailing white space.
107 >
108 > 6.  New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
109 >      function GetClientMajor: integer;
110 >      function GetClientMinor: integer;
111 >
112 > 7.  IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method
113 >      function GetCharSetWidth: integer;
114 >
115 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-5 Build 12022) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 10:35:55 +0100
116 >
117 > 1. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are
118 >   case sensitive
119 >
120 > 2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser.
121 >
122 > 3. New API Calls:
123 >        IColumnMetaData.GetStatement
124 >        IColumnMetaData.GetTransaction
125 >        ISQLData.GetStrDataLength
126 >        IResults.GetStatement
127 >        IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata)
128 >        IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata)
129 >
130 > 4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages
131 >
132 > 5. TFBArray.Create (2nd case): ensure that FFirebirdClientAPI is correctly set.
133 >
134 > 6. TIBSQLStatementType: SQLSavePoint added to end of enumeration.
135 >
136 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-4 Build 11515)  Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:19 +0000
137  
138   1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
139     where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
