fbdb 1.1.1

A Firebird SQL database access library for Dart and Flutter.

1.1.1

• Fixed issue #4: parameters being bound as VARCHAR could get truncated by 2 characters if they reach the maximum length reported by message metadata. This was due to the fact, that fbdb treated the 2-byte character count of a VARCHAR parameter as taking 2 bytes out of the reported parameter length (that's why exactly 2 characters were chopped off), while in fact the reported length mean just the maximum number of characters (and the 2-byte character count is not included). When the database used UTF-8 as field encoding, the issue was usually invisible, because in that case the actual number of bytes in the parameter buffer is 4 times the number of characters (and the extra 2-byte length almost always fit in the extra space).

1.1.0

• Added comatibility with the Firebird client libraries version 3.x (versions older than 3.0 don't work and will not work, as they don't expose interfaces-based API to the client code). Please note, that some functionality of the API, introduced in later versions of Firebird, will not be available when using client libraries from the previous versions (e.g. dec16, dec34 and time zones aren't supported when using client libraries from version 3). The appropriate Dart wrappers over native Firebird interfaces now use conditional method binding, throwing UnimplementedError when being invoked with an incompatible version of the client library. As a rule of thumb, it's always best to use the most recent officially available Firebird client library with fbdb.

• Verified compatibility with the Firebird libraries version 5.x in all currently supported Firebird client interfaces.

1.0.2

• Fixed a bug related to issue #3. The bug manifested itself when an error was reported by Firebird, but the actual error message could not be obtained by IUtil due to a malformed UTF-8 string (so there was an error while handling another error).

1.0.1

• Completed API documentation.

1.0.0

• The first published version.
