Fixed bugs can be found in tracker. It's my first release on SF, so if
something isn't working, report it and wait. :)

Hello *,

It's mainly a bugfix release. Work on Entity Framework support still continues.

[Firebird-net-provider] RFC: Installation

2008-03-06 Thread Jiri Cincura
Today, during msi installation building, I was wondering, whether
FirebirdClient needs installation. From my POV it's mainly for
developers, so, I hope, they are able to download some archive unpack
and add it to right place, isn't it? (In fact it can be easier to do
this with non-installation package).

I've uploaded both versions so SF, so I'll be watching download rates
for both files. Also the Jaybird doesn't have any installer (but maybe
it's some Java specific decision).

Any comments?

Jiri,

While I agree that most developers have the capability to unpack and add the
elements to the  correct place, it is an area that prone to error.  One of
the things a computer is good at is doing tedious things correctly once it
has been trained (programmed).  To me, it makes more sense to train the
computer once and let it do the work than make all the users master the
tedious stuff -- again.

I have to agree with Marvin. The new developers to .Net and Visual
Studio might prefer a full automatic install. Also, it seems easy to
make a mistake, and if something isn't working right in VS after
making all the manual changes that are required. It might be hard to
find what you did wrong.

As an example, I know I can't see any problem with the configuration
settings that I entered manually, but VS2005 is still telling me that
I did something wrong with installing Firebird ADO.Net, when I try to
create some of the enterprise solutions that Microsoft provides via
their Guidance packages.  I just want to see what they are and in
which kind of project that I might use them, but for now, I can't.  I
do have the proper GUID copied from the GAC to those locations that I
had to edit manually.

So, I wonder if a fully automated install into VS would avoid those
problems, that I'm having.

Also, I'm just starting to learn C# in VS2005 and VS2008.  But, I've
been a Delphi developer for 13 years and using Firebird since the
first version.
