1 + FBINTF Change Log  version       (1.1-2) Sat, 17 Mar 2018 17:11:58 +0000
2 +
3 + 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
4 +   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
5 +
6 + 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
7 +    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
8 +    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
9 +
10 + 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
11 +    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
12 +    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
13 +    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
14 +
15 + 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
16 +    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
17 +
18 + 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
19 +   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
20 +   up to the last fetch.
21 +
22 + 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
23 +   the problem.
24 +
25 + 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
26 +   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
27 +
28 + 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
29 +
30 +
31 + FBINTF Change Log  version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
32 +
33 + 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
34 +
35 + 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
36 +     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
37 +     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
38 +
39 +   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
40 +   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
41 +   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
42 +   require a database lookup.
43 +
44 + 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
45 +
46 + 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
47 +
48 + 5. IAttachment: add
49 +      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
50 +      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
51 +      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
52 +      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
53 +
54 +   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
55 +   require a database lookup.
56 +
57 + 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
58 +   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
59 +
60 + 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
61 +   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
62 +   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
63 +   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
64 +   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
65 +
66 + 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
67 +
68 + 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
69 +
70 + 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
71 +   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
72 +   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
73 +   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
74 +
75 + 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
76 +
77 + 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
78 +    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
79 +    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
80 +    a string with code page CP_NONE.
81 +
82 + 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
83 +    test suite updated.
84 +
85 + 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
86 +    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
87 +
88 + 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
89 +    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
90 +    default connection port to be specified.
91 +
92 + FBINTF Change Log  version                             (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
93 +
94 + 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
95 +   Scale is no longer ignored.
96 +
97 + 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
98 +   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
99 +   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
100 +   to Firebird as Text Strings.
101 +
102 + 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
103 +   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
104 +
105 + 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
106 +   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
107 +   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
108 +   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
109 +
110 + 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
111 +   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
112 +   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
113 +   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
114 +
115 + 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
116 +   set supported by Firebird with the API.
117 +
118 + 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
119 +   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
120 +
121 + 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
122 +
123 + 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
124 +   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
125 +   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
126 +   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
127 +
128 + 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
129 +
130 + 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
131 +
132 + 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
133 +
134 + 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
135 +    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
136 +    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
137 +    an SQLDA error.
138 +
139 + 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
140 +
141 + 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
142 +    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
143 +
144 + 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
145 +    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
146 +
147 +
148 + FBINTF Change Log  version             (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
149 +
150 + 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
151 +
152 + 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
153 +   compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
154 +
155 + 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
156 +   defined for each interface.
157 +
158 + 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
159 +
160 + 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
161 +   where PAnsiChar is used instead.
162 +
163 + 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
164 +
165 + 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
166 +
167 + FBINTF Change Log  version            (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
168 +
169 + 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
170 +   large blobs and the FB3 API.
171 +
172 + 2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
173 +   event block.
174 +
175 + 3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
176 +
177 + 4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
178 +   DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
179 +   Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
180 +   though it is not required for character set none.
181 +
182 + 5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
183 +
184 + 6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
185 +
186 + 7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
187 +   CREATE DATABASE statement.
188 +
189 + 8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
190 +   an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
191 +
192 + 9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
193 +   when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
194 +
195 + 10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
196 +    statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
197 +    to enable stats gathering.
198 +
199 + 11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
200 +
201 + 12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
202 +
203 + 13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
204 +
