2 >
3 > 1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a
4 >   typo in FB30Statement.pas that caused an unknown parameter error.
5 >

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

69 >    procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
70 >
71 > 12. Utility functions in IBUtils
72 >    function ParseDateTimeTZString(aDateTimeStr: Ansistring; var aDateTime: TDateTime;

74 >    procedure FBDecodeTime(aTime: TDateTime; var Hour, Minute, Second: word; var DeciMillisecond: cardinal);
75 >    function FBEncodeTime(Hour, Minute, Second, DeciMillisecond: cardinal): TDateTime;
76 >    function FBFormatDateTime(fmt: AnsiString; aDateTime: TDateTime): AnsiString;
77 >    function FormatTimeZoneOffset(EffectiveTimeOffsetMins: integer): AnsiString;
78 >    function DecodeTimeZoneOffset(TZOffset: AnsiString; var dstOffset: integer): boolean;
79 >
80 > 13. IDPB, ITPB and ISPB: new interface method
81 >      function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem;
82 >    This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its
83 >    symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...'
84 >
85 > 14. IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem: new interface method:
86 >      function getParamTypeName: AnsiString;
87 >
88 > 15. fb_shutdown now called before unloading Firebird library. This can avoid a
89 >     SIGEVENT error when a programme using the embeded server is unloaded.
90 >

92 >
93 > 1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API
94 >   with a Firebrid 3 client library.
95 >
96 > 2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library.
97 >    If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment
98 >    variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory
99 >    are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default
100 >    client library used.
101 >
102 > 3.  IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API
103 >
104 > 4.  Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer.
105 >
106 > 5.  SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is
107 >    returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so
108 >    that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column.
109 >    SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is
110 >    correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic
111 >    trimming of trailing white space.
112 >
113 > 6.  New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
114 >      function GetClientMajor: integer;
115 >      function GetClientMinor: integer;
116 >
117 > 7.  IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method
118 >      function GetCharSetWidth: integer;
119 >
120 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-5 Build 12022) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 10:35:55 +0100

122   1. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are
123     case sensitive
124  
125   2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser.
126  
127 + 3. New API Calls:
128 +        IColumnMetaData.GetStatement
129 +        IColumnMetaData.GetTransaction
130 +        ISQLData.GetStrDataLength
131 +        IResults.GetStatement
132 +        IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata)
133 +        IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata)
134 +
135 + 4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages
136 +
137 + 5. TFBArray.Create (2nd case): ensure that FFirebirdClientAPI is correctly set.
138 +
139 + 6. TIBSQLStatementType: SQLSavePoint added to end of enumeration.
140 +
