I have just released Jaybird 2.2.8.

The release can be downloaded from
https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/jaybird/releases/tag/v2.2.8

The release is also available on maven(*):

<groupId>org.firebirdsql.jdbc</groupId>
<artifactId>jaybird-jdkXX</artifactId>
<version>2.2.8</version>

* The artifactId depends on your target Java version: jaybird-jdk18,
jaybird-jdk17, or jaybird-jdk16.

Full release notes available at
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/drivers_documentation/java/2.2.8/release_notes.html

The following has been changed or fixed since Jaybird 2.2.7:

* Support for Java 5 has been dropped
* Fixed: LibreOffice doesn't display tables with more than 41 records
([JDBC-383](http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/JDBC-383))
* Improvement: Don't use Firebird provided IP address for connecting
event channel ([JDBC-384](http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/JDBC-384))
* Fixed: Connection.getMetaData().getColumns result set contains wrong
(empty) COLUMN_DEF if column type was defined using domain
([JDBC-388](http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/JDBC-388))
* Fixed: Unable to retrieve update count after result set
([JDBC-390](http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/JDBC-390))
After executing a query that produces a result set, calling
getMoreResults will allow getUpdateCount to actually return the update
count where previously it always returned -1. This also allows obtaining
the update count after a select query (even when executed using
executeQuery). For selects the result will usually be 0.
* Fixed: SELECT statements are processed for getGeneratedKeys by
appending RETURNING (+ all columnnames)
([JDBC-391](http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/JDBC-391))
* Fixed: Generated key grammar does not correctly handle quoted table
names ([JDBC-392](http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/JDBC-392))
* Fixed: Generated key grammar does not detect returning clause in
update and delete
([JDBC-393](http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/JDBC-393))

Kind regards,
