Agree.

In the future, ple-e-e-ase ;-)

But what solution should we prefer for v1.5? Lookup in firebird.conf if no
port/service is specified in the connection string (as it was intended in
v1.5)? Or ignore firebird.conf settings (keep v1.0 behaviour)? If the
latter, what should we do with IPC? Since you've started this thread, I'd
like to see the answers ;-) Or at least thoughts/comments...
