The Release Notes contain everything that is new or has changed in a certain release; the LangRef updates cover only the SQL language (including PSQL).

The Release Notes often cover some previous releases as well (e.g. the 2.1 notes also cover 2.0), but not all the way back to Firebird 1.0.

Each LangRef update covers all the changes since InterBase 6.0 beta. So if you have the IB6 LangRef plus the update for your Firebird version, you have a complete (P)SQL reference.

The LangRef update for Firebird 2.1 will be published before the end of February.

Maybe you should have read the Introduction :-)
