What’s new in release 3.2b1?

This release fixes minor bugs and adds a number of features, most notably support for connection timeouts.

See the release announcement at http://kinterbasdb.sourceforge.net/#release_32b1 for documentation and download links.

If you’re a C programmer, know the PHP internals, and are willing to maintain the Firebird driver for PDO, please step in, since it isn’t in good shape.

The PHP Data Objects (PDO) extension defines a lightweight, consistent interface for accessing databases in PHP.

A new version 2.5 of IBPP, a C++ API interface for Firebird got released some days ago. Downloads from the Sourceforge project area: sourceforge.net/projects/ibpp
Documentation from the IBPP website: www.ibpp.org

This update brings some new functionalities, more complete events support and will be shortly enhanced to bring full FB 2.0 compatibility (not that it shouldn’t work with FB 2.0 as is).

Yours, Olivier Mascia

This replication suite is written in Java, and allows replication between diferent databases (ie: Firebird < -> MySQL, etc). More information here.
