Paul Vinkenoog wrote on Firebird-docs
The 1.5, 2.0 and 2.1 LangRef Updates have been “heavily” updated. Taken together, some 200 sections were corrected, extended, added, or whatever.
This ought to earn me enough karma to get me through my next 3 lives in relative luxury.
I’m now working on the 2.5 LRU, which I hope to finish this month.

I resume development of the ODBC driver. The primary goal to finish ODBC
driver 2.0 (with full x64 support and fixed “blocker” level problems) now.
If you are having any problems with the current driver but have not
reported them because the sub-project wasn’t active, then to add them to
the Bag tracker now.
ps: if you don’t know what is the bag tracker 🙂 it’s Firebird Project’s bug tracker.

As you may know, I’m the maintainer of Firebird packages in OpenSuse.
but I’m also doing the same for Fedora (including EPEL), Mandriva and
the future Mageia.OpenSuse is not my preferred distro, for far, and even if they are all
rpm distro, following seriously a distro need some time, and when new
Firebird version is there you need some time to do the job the right
way. And I don’t have enough time for this.
So I will still maintain Mandriva, Mageia, Fedora but no longer OpenSuse
(will it be “open” for a long time I don’t know, and that’s another story)So please OpenSuse and Firebird users, step in, I will help you if need.
ipv6 will be available soon the main firebird tree
Here are some patches and the discussion on firebird-devel list , if you spot any issues/bugs please ask on the list
Firebird embedded – Linux (update)
In this post I explained how to set up an embedded Firebird version for Linux.A few weeks ago I read a post from Olivier Mascia that explained a simpler way: instead of starting the program using a script that sets up a couple of environment variables, just callsetenv() to set those variables in the program.
There are many good articles in the archives about firebird and creating an accounting program with open source tools.
