More details about Firebird 2.1 ...

Did you know that you can report bugs directly to the Project developers? There is a common-sense procedure to follow, so that your report is useful to us: we do ask that you read the article How to Report Bugs Effectively (available in several languages) before you proceed. Then, post your bug report to the firebird-support or the firebird-devel list and ask if you need to post it to Tracker.

Is there a feature you would like to request?

Maybe it is already in Firebird's development programme. You can check up at the Tracker site using the Find Issues search tool. You can even vote on it! And if there is a feature YOU want that nobody else has registered yet, write up a good description and add it as a Feature Request.

You will need to create an account in Tracker to report bugs, request features or vote.
It is simple! just go there and follow the sign-up instructions.
