Hi,

I've been testing these modifications with the fbembed.dll for a week along
with sevral of my colegues and it working like a charm. Easier deployment
and a good speed boost. I am very eager now to get these modifications
polished and intergrated. Perhaps I am being a little impatient(please let
me know if I am) but -

Is there any reason why it would not to create a release branch now for any
pre-release changes and then intergrate these changes with the head ? - I
would feel a little uneasy myself about intergrating them for the
(presumably just arround the corner) release.

We could then have the ability to use:

Type 4

Type 2 - Socket IPC (I dont see any area where this would be usfull)

Type 2 - Local IPC ( If not for XNET then a reduced concurrency local
IPC(windows only) )

Type 2 - Embedded ( Possibly the fastest JDBC database available, at least
the fastest I've seen ).
