The official report of the 5th edition of Firebird Developers Day is now on-line (in English and Portuguese).
The recent release of Firebird version 2.1.1 is very welcome.
Here are a few of the fixes I consider important for 2.1 production servers and so recommend the update:
The complete list of bugs fixed and the downloads are at the Firebird SQL website.
Called SuperClassic, it will be the basis for the multi-processor support that we’ll see in Firebird 3.0.
Don’t lose count. Starting from Firebird 2.5 you will be able to choose among SuperServer, ClassicServer and SuperClassic.
Basically SuperClassic is like ClassicServer. Only instead of a process for each attachment it uses a single process with a thread for each attachment. The benefit being that it uses fewer kernel resources and is a bit faster.

Continuing with the series of reports about Firebird Developers Day, our Russian friends just arrived to Piracicaba. In the picture, from left to right, is Dmitry Kuzmenko (IBSurgeon), me and Dmitry Yemanov (his girlfriend on the side). After 17h flight, they were ready to take the second breakfast of the day 😉 Michael Philippenko (FastReports) was there too, but doesn’t appear in the picture.
Tomorrow, both Dmitries will do special Master Class Firebird sessions to selected people.
