some minor improvements and bugfixes that I do not remember 🙂

Thanks to the progressive death of the NAS server from which all our Internet facilities are served, we lost everything – Tracker, website, Wiki, Windows snapshots and news mirrors – piece-by-piece over the past days.
By gargantuan effort, Sean Leyne and his colleagues at Broadview have been reconstructing our infrastructure from scratch. The main website http://www.firebirdsql.org is up but some pieces, such as Windows snapshots, are still missing. Windows snapshots should be available some time today.
The other servers are more challenging, requiring radical reconstruction using new versions of underlying software, and will take time.
For now, if you find broken links (other than those to our other servers) then please feel free to inform us via a message to this list.
More info as it comes to light.

This stored procedures script will display a report of what are the items the customer purchase within the given period of time.
One of the things I like with Firebird is their stored procedure features. In my experience with MSSQL and MySQL5 doing stored procedure has been easier with Firebird and yet powerful. I fell in love with it and making stored procedure as my usual solution for data manipulation.
Softpedia seems to be one of the most visited IT related sites (at least the forums) in my country according to traffic.ro stats so i have updated the firebird related pages.
We need honest reviews there and some votes
Here is the page for the mac ,here is for Linux and there is for Windows.
ps:Later i will add some screenshots to the pages and update the instalation guides.
Firebird 2.5 is updated on cnet’s download page.What we need there is more honest reviews and some votes from community.
This article is the description of the first steps in setting QT, Visual Studio and FireBird.
I’m impressed about the new django-firebird driver from svn.No more patching needed for the first 5 chapters in the django book.
Now i’m at chapter 6 from django book and all worked without issues until now.
So i have updated django+firebird post and examples from the book are tested with django 1.1.1 and firebird-django from svn
Maxi Robaina wrote on the new firebird-django-dev list when i told him about my positive impressions:
There is certainly plenty to do and still improve much
more.
ps:
I will integrate django with firebirdsql.ro: content administration and blogs/news.
The download counter on sourceforge geeknet for all downloads is over 7 Millions , and the stats shows that traffic is growing
