Hi, everybody,

After much delay, I’ve finally prepared debian packages of 2.0 branch of firebird. They can be reached at [1]. This is the RC4 release from 13th of August.

These packages conflict with 1.5.3 series, so if you want to give your databases a try (strongly encouraged), backup them with 1.5.3 *before* installing 2.0 packages.

Please give these a hard time testing and don’t forget to send feedback to pkg-firebird-general@lists.alioth.debian.org. Reading Release Notes[2] would help avoiding common problems.

Users of “Intel” version of Apple Macintosh can now download a Firebird 1.5.3 SuperServer version for that platform. Thanks to Gili Buzaglo.

The releases notes for FB 2.0 RC4 is already available here. Installers and binaries are currently being built.

Builds for Windows and Linux of the new Firebird 2.0 RC3 (probably the last RC) are out. Get yours now here.
