Did you read the release notes? ;-)

The application which executed the isc_action_svc_trace_start call can
directly query the trace data output like when you query the output of
e.g. a backup/restore via the Services API.

Btw, questions about 2.5, as long as the final release isn't available,
should go to firebird-devel. ;-)
