Firebird News

We are very pleased to announce the availability of the phpBB3 RC7 package, the “We are sorry and love our support team” edition. This release fixes some critical issues which arised with the recently released Release Candidate 6, basically fixing some bbcode problems as well as missing form tokens.

Changes:The ability to edit, add, and remove existing rows of the DataGrid directly was added. This works even for joins and complex queries. A basic Test Data Generator was added, as was the ability to create a selectable stored procedure for a table.
