Django 1.6 release notes
Protocol optimization (status update)
I got the following status update from Dmitry Yemanov, regarding the Firebird’s protocol enhancement task that is being sponsored by FDD:
I’m working on it from time to time. One of the TODO items is completed,
one more improvement came to mind and now it’s being tested. So it’s
surely will be available in FB3, at some point after Alpha 1 but before
Beta 1.
I think this is good news!
