ODBC driver 2.0 is still compatible with Interbase? or should better be renamed to "Firebird ODBC driver"?

I think that ODBC driver 2.0 is compatible with Interbase, but I didn't
test the driver with IB.
The Firebird/InterBase(r) driver is the historical name and I think that
many application can use the such connection string:
strConn = "driver={Firebird/InterBase(r) driver}; Database=;
UID=SYSDBA;PWD=masterkey"
Therefore I think that to rename the driver is the bad idea as yet.

Alexander

While I sympathise with efforts for backwards compatibility, I find this
very odd. If the driver is not being actively maintained for Interbase
support and is not tested with IB, I think it is desinformation with
such a name.
I'd recommend a feature freeze for the driver with the old name and use
a FB only name for all future versions.

Today I've faced a new problem: I´ve documented a connection string to a
wiki, and "Driver=Firebird/InterBase(r) driver" gets transformed to
"Driver=Firebird/InterBase® driver". I´ve copied such string to my app
config, and took me several minutes until I´ve found the problem. I´ve
checked the other odbc driver names I have on my PC, and none includes
"special chars". Another reason to change the name ... :)
It's fine if I create a suggestion on the tracker?
Regards!

Jorge, Of course I will rename the driver name to "Firebird ODBC driver" in new versions, it is more correctly because the driver does not support last versions of Interbase entirely. BTW, there are freeware Embarcadero InterBase ODBC Driver - http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/28975, it is based on Firebird ODBC driver.

Thanks Alexander! Firebird and Fireboird ODBC are moving in the right direction. Regards.

Alexander, there is some kind of roadmap or concrete ideas about future development of odbc driver?
