firebird2.5 (2.5.2.26540.ds4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  Important for big-endian server installations:

  It has been discovered that before Firebird 2.5.2 (as packaged in debian
  package version 2.5.2.26539.ds4-1), CHAR_TO_UUID and UUID_TO_CHAR
  built-in functions work incorrectly on big-endian servers. On such machines,
  bytes/characters are swapped and go in wrong positions when converting. The
  bug is fixed in this release, but that means these functions now return
  different values than before for the same input parameter.

  Additionally, the CHAR_TO_UUID2/UUID_TO_CHAR2 functions that were added as
  fixed variants of the buggy functions in the 2.5.2 development cycle are
  dropped in this release.
