Officially VC++6 builds are dead (There are community builds but unsupported by core php developers)
Here is the announcement
Windows users: please mind that we do no longer provide builds created with Visual Studio C++ 6. It is impossible to maintain a high quality and safe build of PHP for Windows using this unmaintained compiler.
For Apache SAPIs (php5_apache2_2.dll), be sure that you use a Visual Studio C++ 9 version of Apache. We recommend the PHP builds as provided by ApacheLounge. For any other SAPI (CLI, FastCGI via mod_fcgi, FastCGI with IIS or other FastCGI capable server), everything works as before.Third party extension providers must rebuild their extensions to make them compatible and loadable with the Visual Studio C++9 builds that we no longer provide.
From Philippe Makowski: Firebird V2.1.4 packages for Fedora 13 and 14 and for RHEL4 and 5 and other derivatives (Centos, Scientific Linux) have been pushed into Fedora and Epel repositories. Packages for Mandriva will be avilable soon.
Jiří Činčura wrote on his blog : I’m using Entity Framework’s 4.1 (currently in CTP stage) Code First with Firebird. If you’re a bit lazy and you’re specifying only required minimum on information to run the mapping, you might quickly face one problem.
That would be the tweet of the day :
Firebird thorough introduction to http://bit.ly/fThQ97 tried to buy. But a little worried because the mail and logistics, in order that I wanted to be bad timing to worry too much.
The Firebird Project team is pleased to announce the latest minor release in the Firebird 2.1 series, v.2.1.4, addressing bugs that have arisen since the v.2.1.3 release in 2009.
Kits are ready to download for Linux, Windows and MacOSX on both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel platforms. For MacOSX, LIPO (fat client) packages are included and PowerPC kits will follow soon.
Thanks to those who participated in testing snapshots and the release candidate during the months past. Enjoy!

Meta has finally converted to Bitweaver and Firebird for website CMS and datastore respectively.
meta has used Joomla for several years to deliver corporate website information and client access to private areas and downloads. But finally Bitweaver has delivered a comprehensive CMS and web application framework backed by Firebird. We regard this as a major advancement in support of Firebird, Bitweaver and the opensource software movement.
