Known Platform Issues

MacOSX

Engine and other changes may have some platform-specific effects other than those noted generally. Known issues are listed below.

MacOSX

To make the new engine work properly under multi-threaded conditions we had to use Grand Central Dispatch, which was first released in MacOSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Thus, MacOSX users should be aware that Firebird 2.5 will run only on MacOSX 10.6 or higher versions.

Note

If you want to use an earlier version of OSX you will need to use earlier versions of Firebird.
