Firebird 2.0 is finally out

November 17th, 2006

FirebirdThis week, the Firebird project has finally released version 2.0 final.

Although this version comes with lots of improvements and changes, I think that dbdesc should be able to document 2.0 databases without problems. I will try to find time this very weekend to test it.

Here are the release notes and download page.

UPDATE: Even though you can connect with a Firebird 2.0 server to document a database, using the local (embedded) connection does not work because it needs the new fbembed.dll version. I’ve uploaded a maintenance release (2.0.1) to address this issue. Installer size has grown a little (~1 MB) because of the updated Firebird libraries.
