The Firebird team is pleased to announce that v.1.5.4 of Firebird for Windows and Linux is now released and awaiting your pleasure. Kits should be available from many sites today and more over the weekend.
A number of additional retrospective fixes have been introduced for bugs that became apparent and were fixed in the Firebird 2 tree during the Firebird 2.0 beta cycle.
This is probably the final sub-release of Firebird 1.5.x. It adds no new functionality, although building the software for both Classic and SuperServer for HP-UX11 is now supported.
The Firebird Team
Release Candidate kits of Firebird 2.0.1 are now available for download at the Firebird main site.
This version corrects many bugs reported since FB 2.0 was released, but does not contain any new features.
What is projected release date for bugfix release 2.0.1?
Builds are being prepared for QA testing as we speak 🙂

Paul

We’re now busy with v1.5.4 and v2.0.1 point releases, so I wouldn’t expect v2.1 Alpha this month, but it will definitely be released in January.
