The threads from February starts like this:
=========================
14.02.2005: Thread: "IB 7.5 update - when"
I have 2 cases when our customers returned from IB 7.5 to IB 7.1
(2 non-answered questions from 02/09/2005 here). And see that
other people asking how to return from 7.5 to 7.1.
Thus, I think, new IB 7.5 update is needed ASAP. Is there any plans?
=========================
16.02.2005: Thread: "IB7.5 --> IB7.1"
I've backed up a DB using IB7.5 and I'm trying to restore it using IB7.1.
However, I'm getting a warning/error reading
gbak: do not recognize index attribute 12 -- continuing
Is this the correct way to downgrade to 7.1 from 7.5?
=========================

It is too much work to dig through comments in other threads, and these
threads may just be all there is.
