Firebird .Net Provider Improved “weekly” builds

Leave a comment

I’ve improved the http://netprovider.cincura.net/ . It’s now returning
version build from latest SVN sources (so it’s actually snapshot
builds now). Again could be unstable, not a good idea to put it to
production.

PS: It’s reading the build from my internal CI server, that is really
old and really not very powerful. Please try not to push it to the
limit.
