Is the new version of Zeos (7) compatible with Firebird 2.1 and higher ?

I use Zeos with Firebird 2.1. Recently I switched from "stable" Zeos to trunk version and it works well.

If you want to try Zeos 7, go to svn version, don't download the alpha release from last year.

Zeos7 is compatible and runs on firebird 2.5 utf8, but i would be carefull as zeos 7 can also completely crash your production environment as i have found out (Row buffer width exceeded. Try using fewer or longer columns)

That's why it's called an Alpha release... With older compilers I don't think it's worse than 6.6-stable, but with D2009+ it's just the only alternative you have.
Test well before you use this in production.
Even more : make a copy of the version you use in production instead of using newest trunk version. There is NO guarantee we will not change behaviour of this version. (FYI : there are plans to change all internal charset handling, sorry to scare you...
