News from the Firebird developers.
I quote the article :

I have finished and updated my guide to build the Firebird (2.5) driver for php 5.3 and added some missing small steps (some include issues)
Norman wrote on the Firebird-doc mailing list :
“I’ve just uploaded the following manuals to the firebirdsql.org doc site”

If you check the Firebird-checkins list you can observe that Firebird core development is done using SVN as software version control system.
To check out trunk all you need to do is read the subversion guide at sourceforge and here is how i have done it on my debian machine
svn co https://firebird.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/firebird/firebird/trunk firebird
