Release of IBProvider v3.34 — «Native OLE DB Provider for Firebird v3»

We have two pieces of news for IBProvider and Firebird users. Both are good.

1. The release of «IBProvider Professional Edition» v3.34 with its own Firebird v3 client is already available for download.
2. We upgraded the «Free IBProvider» and added a subsystem to it with its own Firebird client.

We hope this release will bring new ideas to your work.
