I see that Jason has inadvertently deployed an old version of the
release notes in the Eval kit. However, the note about fbclient is
present in that version.

These are changes in IB_Session.pas:

{ Geoff Worboys
<geoff@...> }
{ 12-Jul-2005
}
{ Changes to allow application to define what client library to
use. }
(*
To use the change an application need only do something
like this...

- - - start dpr project file - - -
program
MyProgram;

uses
Forms,
IB_Session, // Must use IB_Session
[...]

function GetFBClientLibName: string;
begin
Result := 'myfbclient.dll';
end;

[...]
begin
// Tell IB_Session where to get the client lib name
IB_GetClientLibNameFunc := GetFBClientLibName;
// then continue with the normal stuff
Application.Initialize;
[...]
end.
- - - end dpr project file - - -
*)
{
}
{ Geoff Worboys
<geoff@...> }
{ 14-Apr-2005
}
{ Changed to try first fbclient.dll, if not found then try
gds32.dll. }
{
}

If you click on the Latest Release box near the top of the main page
of the IBO website, it will take you to the latest release notes.
