New version 6.3.0.0 of ADO.NET provider for Firebird is ready for download. This version had a single focus and that was seemingly random exceptions, usually around blobs. It took me almost 4 days of trying and debugging, time supported by company behind Bauradar for which I’m thankful, to hunt down the issue.

Overview of all the changes can be found in tracker.

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