We are happy to announce the release of Jaybird 5.0.3 and Jaybird 4.0.10.
With this release, Jaybird 4 is end-of-life. We recommend upgrading to Jaybird 5.
The following has been changed or fixed since Jaybird 5.0.2:
Improvement: Do not reject attempts to read blob id 0 — backported from Jaybird 6 (#765)
Previously, Jaybird rejected attempts to read blobs with blob id 0 (not on all code paths, for some only when assertions are enabled).
Formally, blob id 0 is not a valid blob id, but in practice they can occur (e.g. due to bugs, or access components/drivers explicitly setting a blob column to id 0).
Other drivers and tools simply send the requests for blob id 0 to the server, which then treats it as an empty blob.
For consistency, we decided to let Jaybird handle it the same.
Fixed: on CHAR fields, a too short value could be returned if the string contained one or more codepoints represented by surrogate pairs and the string length in char exceeded the maximum string length — backported from Jaybird 6 (#770)
We now truncate the returned string if the codepoint count exceeds the maximum string length.
Fixed: CallableStatement.getXXX(String) could return value from wrong column — backported from Jaybird 6 (#772)
Updated: error messages updated from Firebird 5.0.0.1272
Jaybird 5 supports Firebird 2.5 and higher, on Java 8, 11, 17, and 21 (support for Java 11 and higher using the Java 11 version of the driver).
