[Firebird-devel] Release notes 2.1

response in the support mailing list!)

I have a situation with numerous local databases for different users on 
Ubuntu. There need to be local connections (no tcp/ip) and delphi 
connections (over tcp/ip). Version 2.0 works just fine. I can log in as 
any of the different users and using qli connect to their (well the 
databases are owned by root) local databases (and no one else's). The 
same user can connect to their database over tcp/ip from delphi. All the 
tcp/ip connections are within a very secure LAN, no Internet connection 
from the outside world.

When I tried version 2.1 it created a user firebird and now none of the 
users can connect locally to their databases. I tried adding each user 
to the firebird group but that did nothing. I tried several different 
owners firebird, root, and the user but a local connection could not be 
made from the user nor firebird. Only sudo to root allowed the local 
connection. That is a security travesty.

Where are the release notes for version 2.1? I need to find out the 
specific differences in development between version 2.0 and version 2.1.
