Alessandro Batisti announced new version of FenixSQL (simple multiplatform admin tool for Firebird developed with Firebird Library and released under GPL License and produced with Lazarus ide)
Code and download page is located on google code and main page is here

For years the FBLib (Firebird database library for Free Pascal, Delphi and Kylix) has lived in the 3rdParty directory tree of tiOPF. We are cleaning up the tiOPF repository, and so I have now moved the FBLib project out to Github, into its own repository. The repository history is intact. I still need to add a few more patches I have locally, and some Lazarus based support apps.
All future development of FBLib will now happen on Github.
To get a copy of the code:
git clone git://github.com/graemeg/firebird-lib.git

Maximiliano Robaina wrote about Python3 fixes for the Firebird Django driver :
I just pushed up a new commit into django-firebird github repository [1] with several python 3 fixes.
If anybody can test it with python 3 and report any issue, it will be appreciated.
Take into account that this improvements are available into github repository, not on PyPI yet. Pull requests are welcome 😉
Jason announced the new release :
I neglected to report that I put a new release in the download area for
those still using IBO 4.9.14.I back ported a number of the recent fixes that have gone into IBO 5.0.2.
Here is the pertinent portion of the release notes.

announce this new release of SOCI 3.2.0 version.
The Firebird Project releases important security updates addressing a remote stack buffer overflow discovered in the Firebird Server during March, 2013.
This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated user to crash the server and opens a gate for remote code execution, so it’s highly recommended to upgrade your server installations. Security updates are available for Firebird 2.5.2 and Firebird 2.1.5 versions. They don’t include any changes other than the bugfix for the aforementioned buffer overrun.
