Documentation
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.1.5.5 release notes are cumulative, that is, they encompass all releases of v.1.5.x.
2007-12-12	Firebird 1.5.5 Release Notes, v.155_02	595 Kb	Full v.1.5.x release notes, English version, PDF
2008-07-04	Firebird 1.5 Language Reference Update	333 Kb	SQL Language Reference, all new language features and changes since Firebird 1.0.English version, PDF
