ADO.NET provider 5.0.0.0 for Firebird is ready
New 5.0.0.0 version of ADO.NET provider for Firebird is ready for download. As you can see the major version number changed.
This release contains two new big features, both focused on Firebird 3. The BOOLEAN datatype is now supported (except Entity Framework mapping, currently). And SRP authentication is supported on Firebird 3. I think these are the most fundamental new features so I’m releasing it now. There’s more to come.
