I thought that a fixes branch was only for bug fixes and not for issuing non-backwards compatible changes. However, TFieldType in db.pas now has 6 extra elements.The result is that IBX no longer compiles with the fixes_2_2 branch. I have also heard the same for zeoslib.Is the rollout of this patch to fixes_2_2 a mistake, or is there a good reason for rolling out a change that breaks other packages?Tony WhymanMWA Software
