To those playing with Firebird 2:

Please do not post problems in this list regarding the various unofficial 
builds OR the forthcoming Alpha and Beta kits. To report Firebird 2 
problems, use the firebird-devel list or the field test issue tracker at 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=9028&atid=593943.

You can subscribe to the firebird-devel list by going to 
http://firebird.sourceforge.net/index.php?op=lists

For now, please be considerate about reporting problems with pre-Alpha 
builds.  They are not official builds and can be expected to give you 
problems, especially if you have not briefed yourself on the changes.  You 
may preview the first cut of the Firebird 2 Alpha release notes by 
downloading them from the prerelease area:

http://firebird.sourceforge.net/download/prerelease/rnotes0200_01.zip

The Alpha should be available within the next few days and will include a 
copy of these notes in  the doc directory.

As always with field-testing, you are expected to understand how Firebird 
works and how the Alpha or Beta version you are using is different. NOTE 
WELL that using these builds and pounding the developer list with 
newbie-user support questions about the basics of Firebird is highly 
inconsiderate.
PLEASE DO NOT DO IT.

If you want to get the hang of Firebird, use a release version, use the 
appropriate Quick Start Guide from the website, and use this list for 
questions;  then move on to the Firebird 2 field testing when you know what 
you are doing.

On the other side of the coin, Alpha and Beta issues are "noise" that 
interferes with the needs of people using the released software.  Sorry to 
say, people who persist in posting field test issues here in 
firebird-support will be subject to the "three strikes and you're out" policy.
