MWA Software is pleased to announce that the ibx4lazarus package has been successfully rehosted on GitHub. The svn repository has been decommissioned and is no longer available for use. Please go to https://github.com/MWASoftware for all of our software packages.
The move to GitHub has also allowed the package split of ibx4lazarus into three separate packages.
- The Firebird Pascal API (fbintf)
- The ibcontrols package.

fbintf and ibcontrols are dependencies for ibx4lazarus itself and must be installed before ibx4lazarus itself.
In future, please report all issues that apply to any of these packages using the GitHub issues feature.

A new version of Performance Comparer for Firebird (FBPC) is now available. Version 1.0.3 has the following changes:
- Fixed some parameters data type identifying logic (the traceapi writes the params data types based on their internal field type, not the declared type)
- The statement’s grid wasn’t showing a value when the statement execution time was below 1ms
- Added some error handling during the statements execution
- Now any errors during the execution of an statement will be logged in the errors.log file (in the application directory)
FBPC is a free tool that can help people to compare the performance of real life SQL statements between two Firebird versions, or even between the same Firebird version but with different configurations in firebird.conf.

It is well known that transferring blobs in Firebird over high latency networks (i.e. internet) is very slow. The main reason is that transferring blobs always required lots of roundtrips. The good news is that the donations collected in the 21st Firebird Developers Day (FDD) Brazilian conference are being used to sponsor the improvement of blobs transfer speed. The changes are being developed by Vlad Khorsun and the currently results looks very good (see below)!
Note that the improvements are being developed in two phases. The first phase is ready and didn’t require any changes in the Firebird Wire Protocol, so it will be available in the upcoming Firebird 5.02 release. Transfer times were reduced by 33%-49%.
The second phase is still under development and requires changes in the Firebird Wire Protocol, so it will be available only in Firebird 6, but it already shows great results from 94%-97% improvement! In the best case, the time dropped from 12s to 477msecs!
