Loading...From Dmitry Yemanov: As you might know, Firebird 2.0 no longer allows to alter/drop procedures that are used by active statements. However, we’ve got many requests from customers to restore the previous behaviour, because now it’s impossible to upgrade metadata under load. While we don’t consider this practice safe, I’d like to report that the new limitation is removed in the v2.0.1 release, thus rolling back to the prior logic. All potentially confusing situations (when two different versions of the procedure may coexist in memory simultaneously) are reported in firebird.log.

You can write and post to FirebirdNews direct from the plugin.
A problem that I noticed is that you can’t choose in what category the post should be included 🙁

In a recent talk with Dmitry Yemanov, he told me that Firebird runs OK on Windows Vista, but to get the local protocol working, you need to do a small change in firebird.conf “IpcName” parameter, changing the default value to Global\FIREBIRD. You can find more information about this reading the firebird.conf file.

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.
