In this section are features and modifications that might affect the way you have installed and used Firebird in earlier releases.

Where Are the Tools?

On Windows, you will find all of the executable programs, including the command-line and shell tools, in the Firebird installation (root) folder. In previous versions they were in a folder beneath the root folder, named ..\bin.

On POSIX platforms, you will find the tools and other executable programs in similar locations to those used for earlier versions. Exactly where depends on the distribution you are using.
