Introduction
============
Welcome to Firebird 2.5.
Intended Users
==============
Firebird 2.5 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.
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.
