    Release Notes
    The release notes that go out with the Firebird kits are an essential source of documentation about changes and new features. All of the official release kits include the release notes for the current release; however, the v.1.5 notes presume that you already have the v.1.0 notes.

    Therefore, until full documentation becomes available from other sources, you will need to use the v.1.0 notes as a companion resource to the v.1.5 notes.

    The v.1.5.4 release notes are cumulative, that is, they encompass all releases of v.1.5.x.
