Get some sleep Jason. Since I know at least some of what is in this
Test release, following is a description of the stuff I know about...

* AutoLabel feature attached to most IB_* controls. Courtesy of
Tobias. Check out the new AutoLabel property attached to the TIB_Edit
etc and the new TIB_Label component to see what you think. If you
have difficulties (since there is no documentation released yet) post
a message here and Tobias or myself will try to help.

* IB_LocateEdit - is now updated so that (by default) it will act like
a normal TIB_Edit control when in dssInsert, dssEdit or dssSearch
modes. In dssBrowse mode it will act like TIB_LocateEdit. Set
DisableEditing to true, if you want the control disabled during
editing modes.

* TIB_DataSource DisableInterface/EnableInterface processing has now
been changed so that the TIB_*Bars will not receive updates while
DisableInterface is in force. If you use TIB_DataLink on your own
forms/controls and want to take advantage of this, use
TIB_InterfaceDataLink instead of just TIB_DataLink (and set the
Control property to the form or whatever). If you use
TIB_ControlDataLink or TIB_FieldDataLink you are already covered.

* The Services API have been revealed (isc_service_* functions
available from TIB_Session). This is only the API calls themselves,
dont bother looking for backup/restore functionality just yet, unless
you wish to write it yourself. The only use that has been made is a
new TIB_Session function to return the location of the ISC4
database...
function GetISC4Path( AServer: string;
AProtocol: TIB_Protocol;
AUserName,
AUserPass: string ): string;

* This release of IBO makes an update to SpinEditEnh available (some
already have it). The change is that SpinEditEnh now uses Variant
instead of integer, making it possible to use the control for real
number fields.

* There are numerous other fixes etc that Jason has mentioned on this
list already and quite probably some other things I dont know about -
but Jason will put put together some official release notes on Monday.
