dnfBB version 1.0 is now available

dnfBB is a powerful and fast 3 Tier, C# discussion board or forum for websites running ASP.NET. Native support for multiple forums within the same db structure. Designed to work with Firebird and MySQL, support for
additional RDBMSs in the future.

dnfBB was originally designed around Firebird, unlike other forums dnfBB uses all the features of the underlying databases, including stored procedures, domains, triggers etc.

dnfBB can be downloaded here

FYI, FBTalk.net uses dnfBB along with Firebird 1.5, and is available for all users of Firebird RDBMS to discuss issues related to Firebird.

Warning about just released RC 5

October 6, 2006 Cantu Leave a comment

From Dmitry Yemanov:
Windows builds of Firebird 2.0 Release Candidate 5 have been released with an issue related to the INTL support. This is not a bug in the code, but a build/packaging issue. One of the ICU libraries (icudt30.dll) got built wrongly. We apologize for inconvenience, the builds are to be fixed and re-released shortly. In the meantime, icudt30.dll from the RC4 package would fix the issue.
