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
