Jiri Cincura announces the 5.5.0.0 Release of ADO.NET provider for Firebird.

There’s really just one new notable feature — the compression support for Firebird 3. Along the way the network packets handling was reworked, so you might see some minor performance improvement even if you’re not using compression or Firebird 3. To use compression add Compression=True to your connection string and you’re good to go. By default it’s turned off.

Overview of changes can be found in tracker.

You can download them in the ".NET Provider" section of Downloads. Enjoy!
