What's New:
FileMaker Server is now more stable if it is stopped while under load.
Fixed a problem that caused Server to ignore a stop –y command.
Fixed a problem that could cause FileMaker Server to quit if a stop command was issued by the FileMaker Server Admin.
Fixed a problem that could cause FileMaker Server to quit unexpectedly when statistics logging is enabled.
Fixed a problem that could cause commands to disconnect clients to not be logged.
Fixed a problem that could prevent new clients from connecting to a hosted database.
Fixed a problem that could cause statistics to not calculate and display accurately. In certain cases, only incoming bytes were counted. Now both incoming and outgoing bytes are counted.
Fixed a problem that could cause FileMaker Server to continue to accept new connections after a stop command was issued by the FileMaker Server Admin.

xDBC Improvements
Fixed a problem that caused network problem and a connection to be closed when double quotation marks (“) are used to enclose a character string.
When “Field Access” is set to NONE, the correct errors are returned for SELECT and DELETE statements.
The connection is no longer closed when executing SELECT on a field from a table that has been deleted.
JDBC: Prepared statements for DATE, TIME, and TIMESTAMP bindings no longer return an error. ODBC: Prepared statements for DATE, TIME, and TIMESTAMP bindings no longer return an empty result set.
JDBC: setTime(int, Time) no longer causes executeUpdate() to return the error message “[DataDirect][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][DataDirect][ODBC FileMaker driver]String data, right truncated. Error in parameter 1.”
In manual commit mode Update when Unique constraint violation now returns an error immediately.
