Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Welcome to Firebird $MAJOR.$MINOR.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Intended Users
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Firebird $MAJOR.$MINOR has undergone extensive testing and is
|
|
intended for widespread production use. However, users
|
|
are recommended to follow standard practices before
|
|
deploying this release on a production server. ie:
|
|
|
|
o Please make sure you read the installation
|
|
readme and the release notes.
|
|
|
|
o If you have data you value remember to back it up
|
|
prior to installing this release.
|
|
|
|
o It is recommended that you remove any previous
|
|
version prior to installation. Uninstallation
|
|
preserves configuration files and log files.
|
|
|
|
o It is recommended that you carry out your own
|
|
tests in a development environment prior to
|
|
production deployment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
