LO uses Firebird 3.0.0 whereas 3.0.5 exists but it needs some working to use it since it must work on Linux, Mac and Windows (so patches may be necessary). For the rest, that's the reason why Firebird has been put back experimental. So you can't create new ODB files with Firebird when experimental features are disabled. You can still open existing Firebird odb files even if experimental features are disabled. About dropping support of Firebird, I wouldn't oppose against this. The initial goal to support Firebird was to use a non Java dependent database like HSQLDB and one day, drop HSQLDB support. There was even a migration tool for this. But migration tool is quite buggy and Firebird implementation isn't complete. About HSQLDB, there are more recent versions released but since there was Firebird, nobody worked on this. In brief, we're in the middle of a bridge and are stuck for the moment.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
