Annoucements about Firebird oficial releases.
New Roadmap is under discussion in the Admin group, but based on what Dmitry Yemanov said in the Hamburg conference, next version of FB 2.1 shall be a Release Candidate, and if nothing wrong is found, the other one will be the final release (hopefully out still in this year).
For those dreaming with FB 3.0, probably there will be an intermediate release (2.5?) released before it.
Currently, if server’s host has more than one IP, FB uses only
first one. Attached patch lets it use up to eight. It’ll allow to
establish Redundant Array of Inexpensive Servers, just having added
more addresses to DNS, thus gaining fail-safety (or/and – if round-
robin turned on – load balancing).
Here is the patch and the thread
