Thank you for your valuable feedback! I’ve received numerous emails with suggestions, questions, and descriptions of issues that Firebird users are encountering. I’ll be addressing these in a video meeting in the beginning of August (there are many questions!), where I’ll share our responses and discuss upcoming features. Stay tuned, and thank you for supporting Firebird!
I hope this email finds you well. As president of the Firebird Foundation, I'm reaching out to tap into the wealth of experience and knowledge within our user base. We're constantly striving to improve Firebird, and your feedback is crucial in guiding our efforts. I'd like to ask for your input on a critical question: What are the 3 biggest problems with Firebird that impact you?
