I suggest to read all release notes since 1.5 on
https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/release-notes/

Also read the "Firebird 2 Migration & Installation".

Although I haven't read it myself, consider buying "Migration Guide to
Firebird 3" by Carlos Cantu, see
https://www.firebirdnews.org/migration-guide-to-firebird-3/
