"Since a future version of firebird will have a backwards compatibility module, some future version of LibreOffice (embedding this future version of firebird) will also be able to open these older files." <<Looks like they are expecting that an 'engine11'(?) with Firebird 2.5 and earlier compatibility will come in the (near) future. This was essentially promised in the 3.0 release notes, see https://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/3_0/rnfb30-engine.html#rnfb30-engine-providers under "Other providers". And yes, I know it says *may* in "A suitable provider may be considered for inclusion in a later sub-release.", but that is not how people read this. Is there any progress in that area?>> IBPhoenix has written one.
