February to May 2018
New version development (Firebird 4)
- Rewritten gbak using OO API (makes it possible to use wide records > 64K).
- Improve gbak's restore performance over network using batch interface (2X in average on a real database, 5X on a special sample).
- Added an example of accessing DECFLOAT data in UDR
- Make gbak create encrypted backups of encrypted databases (using by default same plugin & key), added to gbak internal zip compression (CORE-5808).
