SQLAlchemy 0.5.0 Released

January 8, 2009 Oleg Deribas Leave a comment

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:

Added support for returning values from inserts (2.0+ only), updates and deletes (2.1+ only).

Hewlett-Packard Violating our Trademark Rights

January 2, 2009 Cantu One comment

Hewlett-Packard has been reported as about to announce a new gaming appliance named “Firebird”. Any computer-related product is in Class 9, the same class in which “Firebird” is a protected mark registered to the Foundation. Someone at HP didn’t do his homework! Hewlett-Packard (Australia) Pty Ltd has been sent a letter by registered mail informing them of the violation and the need to ensure that the parent company knows it cannot use our trademark.

Interviews in the 5th FDD

December 19, 2008 Cantu Leave a comment

A new set of interviews done by HardSoft TV during the 5th Firebird Developers Day in Brazil is now online. You need to use Internet Explorer to watch the videos. Unfortunately, there is no way to “fast forward” it, so you need to watch the video until the “interesting” part arrives (usually after the introduction, at 40% of the timeline) 😉

PS: Audio is in portuguese. Images are nice!
