Announcements of new Firebird related products, or new releases.
Time Track is a program written in Lazarus and tiopf to allow people to track projects (with Firebird backend)
See the lazarus full thread and you can clone the git repository
It’s a small app that sits in the tray, and can be used to manage project time.
If there is interest, I can donate it to the Lazarus community. It also serves
as a nice example of how to program Lazarus and tiOPF.
It also keeps a todo list and a list of interruptions.
(the helpdesk walks in and out of my office, which I started tracking to
prove that this practice costs me 1.5 hours a day.)
I posted the project at
http://www.freepascal.org/~michael/timetrack.zip
You’ll need tiOPF and a database server.
I use (and recommend) Firebird, but changing it to something
else takes about 2 lines of code.
The included time.sql file creates the database.

New IBExpert Version 2012.02.21 available
News from ibexpert page
New Data import, Extract metadata and Search metadata features, new IBEBlock functions, and more
New features include:
- Data import: now you can convert Boolean values to
smallintvalues when importing data into a new table. You can also now automatically generate simple column names for the target table. - To-Do list: now you can duplicate To-Do items.
- Extract metadata: New Always include COLLATE option.
- Search metadata: New Do not search in comments option.
- New IBEBlock functions and features.
- Many small bug fixes and minor improvements.
Since version 2011.12.01 IBExpert now uses the Firebird database and Firebird Embedded 2.5 to store all IBExpert data (registered databases, query histories etc.) by default. In previous versions by default IBExpert stored this data in the IBExpert.stg file and the user was able to change this manually in Options / Environment Options / User Database. Working with IBExpert.stg is still possible (for example, if you disable the User Database manually), but you will get a warning every time you start IBExpert, and we will not support this method in the future.
- The Customer version (
setup_customer.exe) can be downloaded here (for customers with valid license keys). You can also download the customer version in theIBExpert KG Download Center. If you can not see it there, you might have used a different e-mail in the customer registration process or your account has already expired. - The Trial version (
setup_trial.exe) can be downloaded here (45 day test version) or from the IBExpert KG Download Center. - The free Personal version (
setup_personal.exe) can be downloaded here (version with limited features free of charge).

Kitto – A framework for creating data-driven web applications with Delphi and ExtJS
Kitto allows to create Rich Internet Applications based on a data model that can be mapped onto any database. The client-side part uses ExtJS (through the ExtPascal library) to create a fully AJAX application, allowing you to build standard and advanced data-manipulating forms in a fraction of the time.
Kitto is aimed at Delphi developers that need to create web application without delving into the intricacies of HTML, CSS, Javascript or learning to use a particular library such as ExtJS, yet it allows access to the bare metal if required.
Kitto includes a database-agnostic data-access layer, allowing to create applications that work on any database engine and port applications between database engines.
A Kitto application is described in a set of easily maintained YAML files, keeping definitions abstract and declarative and allowing for future extensions. Business rules are enforced either declaratively or through small javascript fragments on the client, or in Delphi code on the server.
Kitto was designed by Nando Dessena and its development is sponsored by Ethea, which uses Kitto for internal development projects and client work and provides Kitto-related tools, support and development services.

The getting started guide can be tested with Firebird and Delphi
