Antes de iniciar, vale la pena leer las release notes, (disponibles en línea y también en las carpetas de descarga) dado que la V.2.5 es una macro release que introduce la arquitectura que se desarrollará en Firebird 3 con soporte para multi-hilos y SMP.
The Firebird Team is pleased to let loose the first Alpha of Firebird 2.5, more or less feature-complete and ready to field-test. Kits are available for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows and Linux. So – please test it well and report your experiences (good or bad) to the firebird-devel list.
Do make a point of studying the release notes (available on-line and also in the download kits) as V.2.5 is to be a macro release introducing the architecture that will progress into Firebird 3 as full support for fine-grained multi-threading and SMP.
