October Month Changes for Firebird 2.5.x Release branch
Here are the source code changes for Firebird 2.5.x branch in the Month of October :
– Fix compilation for semaphore classes [57221]
– Backport fix for CORE-3946 – UNICODE collations does not work with ICU 49 [57236]
– Fixed the backporting bug introduced while fixing CORE-3902 [57244]
– Avoid a sweep pass for temporary tables, as the sweeper always sees those tables as empty, but even setting them up as empty has a non-zero cost [57265]

Android port for Jaybird
Mark Rotteveel wrote on Firebird-Java
Although I am skeptical about the need for an android port for Jaybird,
I have decided that I am going to spend some time to investigate the
problems involved in porting Jaybird to android.
To that end, I would like to hear if anyone has tried this before, and
what problems arose when trying to do that. Either reply here, or add
your comment to http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/JDBC-280
