SQLAlchemy 0.4.3 released
We’re getting the current batch of new stuff out the door, with plenty
more waiting to fill into the next trunk. Theres a broad variety of
new things here which are summarized below.

please save ibwebadmin in debian/ubuntu
This package is neither part of unstable nor experimental. This probably means that the package has been removed (or has been renamed). Thus the information here is of little interest … the package is going to disappear unless someone takes it over and reintroduces it into unstable.
php5-interbase – please provide it again in ubuntu (gutsy/feisty)
I need php5-interbase for development in my job, please provide it again 🙂
[Seems to be an bug in ubuntu, php5-interbase is not included, also ibwebadmin is not present in the repositories]
Firebird embedded example for delphi is now ported to lazarus
I modified fb_embedded2.pas originally written for Delphi by Fikret Hasovic. Now it works with Lazarus!
Firebird Relational Database ‘protocol.cpp’ XDR Protocol Remote Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Firebird is prone to an integer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to ensure that integer values aren’t overrun. Attackers may exploit this issue to overflow a buffer and to corrupt process memory.
Attackers may be able to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of an affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition.
Synchronization changes in cvs HEAD
A bunch of major changes has just been committed into HEAD. This message
is intended to explain the details.
great news for firebird .net provider
Jiri wrote on the mailing list
I have a great news for you. 🙂 I’ve got offer from Paul Beach to
continue with developement of NETProvider as lead and maintaining it
etc. I’ve accepted and I’ve got some privileges to do the “maintaining
work”. So the project isn’t dead. I hope we’ll kick-up the FB & .NET.
🙂
