Compared to firebird 3, this version adds: * Built-in logical replication; * Extended length of metadata identifiers (up to 63 characters); * New INT128 and DECFLOAT data types, longer precision for NUMERIC/DECIMAL data types; * Support for international time zones; * Configurable time-outs for connections and statements; * Pooling of external connections; * Batch operations in the API; * Built-in cryptographic functions; * New ODS (version 13) with new system and monitoring tables; * Maximum page size increased to 32KB. It needs to be packaged separately because the on-disk database format is not compatible with firebird3.0. The packaging is based on firebird3.0, with updated copyright and patches.
