Hello,
For German language please have a look at our DBA Blog:
http://www.blogs.uni-erlangen.de/db/stories/2717/
to shorten the time to the next firebird conference there will be a
small firebird day in Germany, Erlangen at the RRZE
(www.rrze.de) (local computing center of the university
Erlangen-Nürnberg) from 8th to 9th May 2009.
We’ll start at Friday morning and end at Saturday evening.
There might be a pre day presentation for sponsors on 7 May.
The main track will be in German but it’s also possible to have some
English talks as the once of Dimitry and Vlad for example and
international after track meetings.
-= Today I’m looking for sponsors and speakers =-
Changes in IBProvider v2 (build 2.6.06.2688)

New IBProvider v3 offers the brand new method for working with text data charsets:
See detailed information on working with new character set processor in Firebird and Interbase character sets.
Text columns size in Firebird 2.X
IBProvider started to control text columns size when working with Firebird 2 servers in Unicode mode. If the length of loaded data exceeds the text column size the exclusion will be generated.
Release 1.1.02 is recommended to every user, especially those still using Beta versions.
The main change you will notice is the option to minimize to the notification area.

Firebird project hits the 6 Million download at the sf.net
also the bandwidth used is reaching it’s highest point if you watch the graph downloads slope

The question is how do we attract more funds or developers ?
Today, the history of the CakePHP grows stronger. December 25, 2008 will be remembered as one of the most important points in this history. After exactly 2 yrs from the first development release, we can happily say we have the most stable and powerful web framework available. Please enjoy our big present to you, CakePHP 1.2 stable
After you have installed it you can create applications with Firebird just like the Blog example (follow the comments for firebird tips)
You can follow an Firebird+Nginx tutorial

Happy to notify you that I’ve finished with solaris port of 2.5 on x86. I.e.
currently out code base works not only with windows and posix threading, but
also with native solaris. Both dev and release builds pass tcs OK except few
minor issues with double precision arithmetics, when digits like
12.3456789123456 differ in the last column. I suppose this is related with
VirtualBox VM problems (in all other aspects it runs Solaris wonderful).
The first official release of the 0.5 series is now available. This version packs a huge amount of change since 0.4 including multiple paradigm shifts in usage as well as countless bugfixes and behavioral and speed improvements. Through a series of prereleases, 0.5 is already on production systems and has been extensively tested by dozens of users. With the first 0.5 release, 0.6 is underway as well and will be where Py3k support is targeted. SQLAlchemy 0.5 is available for download on the download page. A comprehensive migration document is at 05Migration.
There is at least one firebird-specific change:
| SQL Maestro Group announce the release of Firebird Maestro 9.1, a powerful Windows GUI solution for Firebird administration and database development. |
