Firebird 6.0 is still in development, and includes changes -- like schema support -- that impact Jaybird.

As a result -- at this time -- we make no promises on the support for Firebird 6.0 by Jaybird 5.
536+
We may delay support for Firebird 6.0 until Jaybird 7, or we may improve support during maintenance releases of Jaybird 5 and/or Jaybird 6.
