New 4.7.0.0 version of ADO.NET provider for Firebird is ready for download. This time I worked on stability improvements. A lot. Huge thanks for all people reporting issues. Some even with test cases and bug analysis – sweet!

A good work has been done on improvements of connection pool and sweeping some NullReferenceException occurences while in finalizer thread. Overview of changes can be found in tracker.

You can get the bits from NuGet FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient and EntityFramework.Firebird (or from firebirdsql.org).
