IBX for Lazarus has moved to GitHub

Leave a comment

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.

  1. The Firebird Pascal API (fbintf)
  2. The ibcontrols package.
  3. The ibx4lazarus 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.
