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

Welcome to the first 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.


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

See doc/Firebird_v2.0.ReleaseNotes.pdf for more information.


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

See doc/Firebird_v2.0.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?

  Check the list of Open Bugs. This can be found at

    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/firebird/Firebird_v1_OpenBugs.html

  An older version is contained in the doc directory of this release.

Otherwise, if you are reasonably sure it is a bug then please
try to develop a reproducible test case. You can then submit it
to the Firebird bug tracker at:

  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=109028&group_id=9028&func=browse
