Firebird 3 is on its track to release: the first Beta version of source code was tagged, and now Firebird core developers work on Beta 2, with intention to release final Firebird 3 in the beginning of 2015.
How to ensure that Firebird 3 will be stable and reliable? How to make it happen earlier? The answer for these questions is: intensive beta-testing with wide community support.
To start effective beta-testing earlier and to supply Firebird developers with convinient path to Firebird 3 we started Firebird 3 Launch Campaign (
www.firebird3.com). It has 3 parts:
1) Firebird 3 distributives, materials and documentation, with focus on Firebird 3 new features, configuration tips and tricks, performance testing, and, of course, beta-testing.
2) Banners for Firebird 3. To support Firebird 3 Launch Campaign, simply put Firebird 3 banner to your blog/web-site, and point them to www.firebird3.com
3) Social activity: starting with simple posts and «likes», then we will continue with contests and special prizes. Join Firebird in Facebook (
https://www.facebook.com/FirebirdSQL ) and LinkedIn (
https://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2078215) to be part of the action!
We believe that Firebird 3 will become the best version of Firebird ever, and to encourage you and all Firebird developers we prepared a lot of very interesting materials for Firebird Launch Campaign.
Stay tuned for Firebird 3 news!
