It's briefly documented in WhatsNew.txt. That's about all there is to it.

1. Open aliases.conf and make entries like:

db1 = c:\data\MyBelovedDb.fdb
db2 = /opt/databases/penguindb.fdb
... and so on.

In your connection string, replace the path element of the string with the
alias name, e.g.

regular connection strings:
winserver:c:\data\MyBelovedDb.fdb
linserver:/opt/databases/penguindb.fdb

become

winserver:db1
linserver:db2

You need to restart the server to have the aliases take effect.
