May - August
Intensively worked on read_consistency branch of RedSoft fork (it contains read committed read consistency, intermediate garbage collection and fully reworked transaction inventory cache). A lot of testing and benchmarking was made. A few bugs were found and fixed, a few missing minor features were implemented. Branch is almost ready to be merged into Firebird master. Documentation is still missing, though.
