ANN: IBX for Lazarus and Firebird – Call for Testers

MWA Software is pleased to announce the immediate availability of IBX for Lazarus. IBX for Lazarus is derived from the Open Source edition of IBX published by Borland/Inprise in 2000 under the InterBase Public License. This version has been brought up-to-date by MWA Software and focused on the Firebird Database API for both Linux and Windows platforms. It is released under the InterBase Public License for the original code and under the compatible Initial Developers Public License for new software. Both Licenses permit commercial use.

IBX for Lazarus has been developed in the context of a single project porting a large application originally developed in Delphi to Lazarus. Testing has focused on this application and the Linux 64-bit environment (Ubuntu 10.04), with product testing on 32-bit Linux and Windows XP. Wider deployment and testing is necessary before IBX for Lazarus can be considered stable.

You are encouraged to download the software and report your experience to us (ibx@mwasoftware.co.uk) – both good and bad so that a stable product can be made available to the Open Source Community.

Initially, please report bugs to the Bugzilla Database (http://www.mwasoftware.co.uk/ibxbugs) set up to monitor IBX for Lazarus bugs.
