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.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|

|
