IMPORTANT: Before upgrading please pay attention to the files in the /misc/upgrade/metadata directory of your Firebird 2.1 installation as an essential step for preparing your databases for use under Firebird 2.1. If your databases contain metadata fields (like object names, comments/descriptions, computed field definitions, PSQL, view or constraint sources) storing non-ASCII data then the backup/restore upgrade cycle may not be enough to make them usable.

Final release: v2.1.7 (End of Series)
