Introduction
============

Welcome to the third Alpha release of Firebird 2.0.


Intended Users
==============

This alpha release is not intended for production use.
It is released for evaluation purposes and is expected
to be tested by experienced users of Firebird. It is
hoped that all alpha testers will read the release
notes first.

 o DO NOT install this version if you have never used
   Firebird before. Use Firebird v1.5.2 instead.

 o If you have been testing earlier Alpha releases
   please make sure you read the installation readme and the
   release notes.


Features in this release (all platforms)
========================================

See doc/Firebird_v2.0.0.ReleaseNotes.pdf for more
information.


Bugs fixed in this release (all platforms)
==========================================

See doc/Firebird_v2.0.0.ReleaseNotes.pdf for more
information.


Installing the self-installing executable
=========================================

Please run the executable and read the accompanying
installation instructions that are contained within the
setup wizard.


Known Issues
============

 o The installation process fails to detect a running
   Firebird 2.0 server. Ultimately the installation
   will fail, when it attempts to overwrite a file
   that is active.

 o The security database has changed! See the DOC
   directory for more details. Users who wish to
   migrate an old security database to the new format
   can use the upgrade script in misc/upgrade/security

Reporting Bugs
==============

o Are you sure you understand how Firebird works?

  Perhaps you are seeing the correct behaviour and you
  really have a support question. In this case contact
  the firebird-support list server.

  You may subscribe here:

    mailto:firebird-support-subscribe@yahoogroups.com


o Still think it is a bug?

  First check the field test issue tracker here:

    http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=593943&group_id=9028&func=browse

  It is specifically intended for reporting of problems
  found while testing pre-release versions of Firebird.

  You might also want to check the list of Open Bugs in
