This administration tool is targeted at Linux Operating System and written in pure C, with GTK and GLADE interface.

Compared with its former generation of kfb (written in qt) this application is much faster,

All libraries used in this application are open-sourced free software, and because of GTK’s lisence, this application itself is not required to be open-source, and can be used for any purposes free.

Many new functions have been added into this application since the publication of kfb, and gfb is based on Firebird 2.1.1

Solaris port of Firebird 2.5 on x86 finished

Alex Peshkov wrote on firebird-devel list

Happy to notify you that I’ve finished with solaris port of 2.5 on x86. I.e.
currently out code base works not only with windows and posix threading, but
also with native solaris. Both dev and release builds pass tcs OK except few
minor issues with double precision arithmetics, when digits like
12.3456789123456 differ in the last column. I suppose this is related with
VirtualBox VM problems (in all other aspects it runs Solaris wonderful).
