*****************************************************
*                  2.5.0.11089
*****************************************************
1. Ported bug fixes from Firebird project:
   CORE-4500: Firebird crashes after unsuccessful
    remapping of the lock table's shared memory.
   CORE-4530: DB_KEY based join of two tables may be
    ineffective.

    under high load.
2. Increased max memory limit for compiled request.
3. Use latest ODBC driver from git repository in
   snapshot build.
4. Fixed calculating RDB$MF_PASSWD only when connected

   appropriate. 
   - TRA_is_active was not reliable for our purposes.
   Thus stability of snapshots could have been
   disturbed under certain (rare) circumstances.
