MWA Software is pleased to announce that release 2.3.2 of IBX for Lazarus is now available for download from https://mwasoftware.co.uk/ibx. Older versions of IBX will fail to compile with Lazarus 2.0 and upgrade to this version is necessary for use with Lazarus 2.0. All users are recommended to upgrade to the new release. Please read the changelog before upgrading. The release also includes a new SQL Tokeniser and the ability to select the Firebird Library (DLL or shared object) as a property of TIBDatabase or TIBXServicesConnection. Several minor bug fixes are also included.
The Lazarus team is glad to announce the release of Lazarus 1.8.2. This is a bugfix release.

Tony announced new version, IBX for Lazarus 1.1 is now available from
http://www.mwasoftware.co.uk/ibx
See announcement in the 3rd party Lazarus forum for the change log.
Performance increased with 30-50% in some cases.
Many thanks to Gabor for pointing out the performance issues and for testing updates. This kicked me into cleaning up this part of the code and rationalising the way that IBX handles column names with spaces and special characters in them.
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

A new and promising web development framework has been born for Free Pascal/ Lazarus developers. It supports REST, JSON, and you can download it from here:
This is a very easy task in FreePascal/Lazarus.
This is a very minor update from 1.0.1 correcting the FPC version number for the TBookmark type change and should not have affected anything else. There was no announcement as the change would only have affected a tester using FPC 2.6.1.
