I was speaking in general knowing that Base does not get very much 
attention by the developers. I had not checked closely on specific 
things that might have changed. So, if I understand you, there is 
nothing new to be added to LO 6.2 to make it 6.4.

Last weekend I filed a bug about the Firebird direct connector. (130334 
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130334>) There 
seems to be a problem with tables with primary keys containing 3 fields. 
Employee.fdb contains two tables with this property (JOB, PROJ_DEPT_BUDGET).

I have run into a problem with connecting to firebird using either Java 
or ODBC. The error message involves connecting to localhost in both 
cases. Perhaps it is my firewall that is doing this.
