Firebird V2.0.7 has been released – likely to be the last for the 2.0-series

Firebird V2.0.7 has been released.

This sub-release 2.0.7, likely to be the last for the 2.0-series, does not add any new functionality to the database engine. It incorporates a number of bug fixes that did not make it into the v.2.0.6 sub-release in June 2010 or have been backported from subsequent 2.1.x and 2.5.x releases.

This release 2.0.x contains a large number of new features compared with 1.5.x, including derived tables, support for Execute Block, increased table sizes, new improved index code (the 252-byte index length limit is no longer applicable), expression indices, numerous optimiser improvements, enhanced security features, support for on-line incremental backups along with numerous other improvements and bug fixes.
