Today 2006-12-21 the new version adhoc20061221 is ready for download at ftp://ftp.adhoc-data.de or http://www.ibexpert.com/download
Also there is a new website for all around the FreeAdhocUDF at
http://www.udf.adhoc-data.de.

The new version is the first (and only?) UDF-library which supports all the new features in FireBird 2.0 (f.e. returning of NULL in UDFs). The new version is also the first UDF-library compatible and tested on InterBase2007.
There are now 295 functions in the FreeAdhocUDF. The FreeAdhocUDF returns the same values in Windows and Linux and in InterBase and FireBird so you can Backup/Restore from Windwos to Linux and from InterBase to FireBird.

Release focus: Major bugfixes
Changes:This release includes a number of bugfixes, mainly for single controller or single database configurations. A new script-based backuper is also available to customize the backup/restore mechanism at will. The group communication and demos have been upgraded.

from dbdesc blog: Even though you can connect with a Firebird 2.0 server to document a database, using the local (embedded) connection does not work because it needs the new fbembed.dll version. I’ve uploaded a maintenance release (2.0.1) to address this issue. Installer size has grown a little (~1 MB) because of the updated Firebird libraries.

Not exactly or not only firebird-related, but here it goes anyway…

The new version 1.5 of InstantBDExpress (IBDX) is now available. IBDX is a component library designed to ease the conversion of existing BDE applications over to the dbExpress technology.

This is the first publicly available release of IBDX, which has been used in-house to support conversion projects for our customers in the
last two years.

IBDX is available for Delphi 7 and Delphi 2006; as per our hassle-free policy, the trial version doesn’t have any limitations or expiration;
it only lacks the sources.
