Yes - but is that really a bug fix that justifies a non-backwards
compatible change?

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_3_2 branch.
I have also heard the same for zeoslib.
Is the rollout of this patch to fixes_3_2 a mistake, or is there a
good reason for rolling out a change that breaks other packages?
Delphi compatibility fix:
fcl-db: base: add some of new Delphi field types into enumeration
TFieldType
(ftOraTimeStamp, ftOraInterval, ftLongWord, ftShortint, ftByte,
ftExtended)
