Most likely the 2.7.x will allow you to contact to anything from Firebird 1.0 upto Firebird 3.0. Forcing a (notional) tight link between versionnumbers of the driver and of the Firebird server could actually result in people using an outdated version of the driver because they use an older version of Firebird.
