Firebird in the press.
The open source, SourceForge community, has voted for the 4th annual community choice awards. The best open source project for enterprise was Firebird SQL. Some application developers and database professionals know that the genesis of Firebird is Embarcadero InterBase. In fact, if you look at the source code, you’ll see copyright notices that are also in Embarcadero Technologies‘ InterBase SMP SQL database. 185,000 votes were cast by community members.
Stay tuned to the Embarcadero Developer Network for news about our support for Firebird in future versions of all of our products. We look forward to a great future working closely with the Firebird community.

I am a Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux developer and we are now
porting whole Fedora package collection to the s390x (IBM System z a.k.a
mainframe) architecture. The official sources for Firebird (in version
2.1.2) didn’t support this architecture, so I have prepared a patch that
adds this support. Please let me know what else should I do to get the
support accepted into the official source tree.
the patch was uploaded to
http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-2559
successfully built Fedora-11 package is at

Hi,
I’ve been working on an improved plug-in for wireshark (previously known as ethereal) and have produced a “Wire Protocol Specification” as a byproduct.
From my preliminary reading of news groups, etc., several people have asked for this kind of information. It’s not complete, it’s not correct but it’s better than anything else I have been able to find.
It should go in your Documentation and Papers section.
Regards,
Mark Chambers

The Firebird 2.1 Language Reference Update is now online at
http://www.firebirdsql.org/refdocs/langrefupd21.html
The PDF failed to build with tons of errors. I’ve got no time
to investigate the problem now; leaving for France tomorrow
morning. If somebody else wants to have a shot at it, please
do. The CVS sources are up-to-date.
I’ll be back around July 25.
Greetings,
Paul Vinkenoog
