New IBProvider v.3 uses Unicode Windows API. This allows avoiding problems with displaying in non-localized Windows versions:

Now, IBProvider v3 is compiled in UNICODE mode. The mode is supported only by platforms Windows NT,XP,Vista,2003,Win7. If you need 32-bit builds of v3 for Win9x, write to our support e-mail and we will send them.

2. Error COM objects now support free-threaded applications.

In case of errors in transformation of IN parameters type or new column values into the type defined by Firebird or Interbase server, the provider saves information on fault reasons in the value status.
