Can't stress strongly enough that the v.2 alpha builds must not be
considered production-capable. The alphas are available because the core
team considers the Fb 2 feature set to be more or less complete and wants
it tested out there. If the implementation details were not likely to
change, Fb 2 would be in late beta. Clearly it is not. Long[er]
identifiers in Firebird 3? In Fb 4? who knows?

Re what's in Fb 2: you can download the latest Fb 2 alpha release notes
without downloading the alpha kit. See
