Carlos Guzmán Álvarez announced new FirebirdClient release.

There are now four packages:

• FirebirdClient 2.0.1 for .NET Framework 2.0
• FirebirdClient 2.0.1 for .NET Compact Framework 2.0
• FirebirdClient 2.0.1 for Mono 1.1.18+

Finally there is an official build for .NET Compact Framework 2.0. The DDEX Provider (that provides Visual Studio 2005 design-time support) is now in a separate package.
