Comments on: LightSpeed 2.1 Released! http://www.mindscapehq.com/blog/index.php/2008/10/15/lightspeed-21-released/ The official blog of Mindscape Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:49:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Ivan Towlson http://www.mindscapehq.com/blog/index.php/2008/10/15/lightspeed-21-released/comment-page-1/#comment-38919 Ivan Towlson Mon, 22 Mar 2010 21:18:07 +0000 http://www.mindscape.co.nz/blog/?p=272#comment-38919 Hello John, Per the documentation (http://www.mindscape.co.nz/products/lightspeed/Help/Help%20Topics/Databases/Firebird.html) we do not support Firebird in the designer, and as of 3.0 are no longer enhancing Firebird support in the LightSpeed runtime. Sorry. We have no immediate plans to resume Firebird development but will continue to monitor customer feedback on this -- thanks for letting us know. By the way, if you still decide to continue evaluating LightSpeed anyway, you can post issues or queries in the support forum (http://www.mindscape.co.nz/forums/Forum.aspx?ForumID=9) rather than relying on the blog.
