Introduction
============
Welcome to Firebird 2.1.
Intended Users
==============
This release candidate is intended for experienced
Firebird users. It has been reasonably well tested and
all new features should now be properly documented.
Do not use this release in a production environment.
Known Issues
============
Windows Vista - The binary installer fails to start
Firebird as a service at installation time, however,
the service does start correctly after a reboot. As a
workaround, you can shift-right click on the Firebird
control panel applet, choose 'Run as...' and start the
service from there.
Features in this release
========================
Please see the Release Notes for details of new
features.
Installation
============
Installation issues are covered in detail in the
Installation Guide available in the doc directory after
install. A brief summary of installation issues can
also be found in the installation_readme.txt, also
available from the doc directory after installation.
Reporting Bugs
==============
Before you report a bug:
o Check you know how Firebird works.
Maybe it is not a bug at all.
o Perhaps some has already reported this? Browse
existing bug reports here:
http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/secure/BrowseProject.jspa
o If in doubt why not discuss the problem on the
Firebird-devel list? You can subscribe here:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
and the list is viewable via a newsgroup interface
here:
news://news.atkin.com/
Please don't use the Firebird-devel list for technical
support unless the question specifically relates to a
new feature in Firebird 2.1
Happy Testing!
From the Firebird team.
