• JDBC 4.5 support: JaybirdTypeCodes.DECFLOAT and JaybirdType.DECFLOAT now use type code 2015 instead of -6001 (#917)
• JDBC 4.5 support: implemented methods enquoteIdentifier, enquoteLiteral, enquoteNCharLiteral, and isSimpleIdentifier on FBConnection, and added them to interface FirebirdConnection for access in older Java versions (#918)
