NHibernate 1.0.4 bugfix version was released at 24 january 2007.

NHibernate is a port of Hibernate Core for Java to the .NET Framework. It handles persisting plain .NET objects to and from an underlying relational database. Given an XML description of your entities and relationships, NHibernate automatically generates SQL for loading and storing the objects. Optionally, you can describe your mapping metadata with attributes in your source code.

All Firebird versions supported by the FirebirdSql.Firebird drivers (version 1.6 and 1.7) are supported, including Firebird Embedded.

There is also NHibernate 1.2.0.Beta3 version available for download, which supports latest Firebird .NET provider version 2.0. This version includes support for using stored procedures with entities mapped by NHibernate, support for .NET 2.0 generic and nullable types, and many other improvements and features ported from Hibernate 3.x.
