<h2>The Firebird ODBC driver v3.0</h2>
<p>&nbsp;

<p>This version is a rework of v2 to implement modern FB OOAPI inside an ODBC driver. In addition it contains
a fixpack for many known issues, see ../ChangeLog_v3.0 for details.
<p>Please note that v3.0 driver is guaranteed to work only with Firebird clients 3.0 and later.
If you have fbclient.dll from 2.5 or some older version, it may be incompatible.
<p>Firebird Project is glad to announce the general availability of Firebird ODBC driver version 3.0. New driver is build on top the new Firebird client API, and can work with Firebird clients from versions 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0.

<p>Download new driver binaries and sources from Firebird ODBC Github (and don't forget to give a star to the project)!

<p>The Windows build is adapted to the modern versions of Visual Studio, the project is located in Builds/MsVc2022.win folder and can be opened/compiled with Visual Studio 2022 or later.

<p>The Windows build key features are:
<ul>
<li>Dll name was changed to FirebirdODBC.dll;</li>
<li>Driver name was changed to "Firebird ODBC Driver";</li>
<li>The new driver will be installed in a separate folder ({Program Files}\Firebird\Firebird_ODBC_3 actually) and can be safely uninstalled if necessary.
So, if you want to create a DSN using the new driver edition, you should select "Firebird ODBC Driver". Your DSNs associated with the current driver version ("Firebird/Interbase(r) driver") will continue to work and will not be affected by installing a new driver.</li>
