Firebird package for Go is updated . Does not currently conform to database/sql/driver interfaces.
There are quite a few changes in the master branch and the author (Brent Rowlan) is quite happy with it’s progress.
Here are the test results between Firebird and HSQLDB
With the impending implementation of Firebird as a backend for LibreOffice Base, to replace HSQLDB, I re-ran the tests of converging and cyclic cascades that were previously carried out for other databases.
These tests were carried out using Firebird 2.5 running on Ubuntu Server 12.04.2
Update Posted by Paul Beach : I have updated the Firebird embedded on iOS page on my blog to reflect the current state of things, now my Mac has been returned.
My Mac has returned, with a new motherboard and I have rebuilt Firebird for iOS with the relevant (new) embedded code, and made an embedded build. This can now be downloaded from:
http://www.ibphoenix.com/downloads/FirebirdEmbedIOS.tar
isql/gbak (or any other firebired utility) can now find the relevant libs they need by searching the directory above them i.e. MacOS.
I haven’t tested this myself yet on IOS, so any feedback would be appreciated.
Firebird Tour is a series of seminars around the world in 2013 and 2014, devoted to Firebird, with members of Firebird Project as speakers.
The first seminar will be in Siegburg (Germany), November 22, 2013 (early bird registration is over, few places at regular price still available).
The second stop of Firebird Tour will be in Prague (Czech Republic), November 25, 2013.
Firebird 2013 Tour will be devoted to all aspects of transactions, from the basic idea, to the internal implementation, best practices and guidance how to effectively use transactions in the applications, and, of course, performance analysis of transactions and related areas.
List of topics to be covered:
– Transactions from the beginning: isolation levels and specific Firebird parameters (no_rec_version, table locking, read/write, wait/nowait), examples of their usage
– How to use effectively isolation levels and parameters in multi-user applications, typical errors in transactions management
– Internal implementation of transactions in Firebird, including versioning, locking and multi-generation mechanism
– Garbage, sweep, auto-sweep: what are they and how to make them work for you and not against you
– Effective management of transactions in various development tools (Delphi, Java, .NET, etc)
– Transactions monitoring: transaction markers, MON$ tables, Trace API, third-party tools, how to find bottlenecks in transaction management and optimize database performance with monitoring
– Best practices of transaction management, special approaches to optimize transaction in closed sourced applications.
– Overview of Firebird 3.0 features
The detailed schedule of talks will be published later.
Languages at seminar will English and Czech.

Here is the source for Firebird package.
NixOS is a Nix-based Linux distribution. Thanks to Nix, it supports atomic upgrades, rollbacks and multi-user package management, and it has a declarative approach to system configuration management that makes it easy to reproduce a configuration on another machine.
I have now also uploaded a new snapshot build for Mac OS. It’s also built against Boost libraries version 1.54.
The updated boost.m4 file necessitated a bump of the minimum deployment target to 10.5 (although I don’t think that anyone will even notice these days).
It’s still a 32 bit only universal build for PPC and x86. Unless I buy a new Mac this won’t change as my 10.5.8 Mac isn’t updatable to a more recent OS AFAICS.
If anyone feels like taking over the Mac OS side of FlameRobin and looking into 64 bit Cocoa builds against wxWidgets 3.0 I’ll gladly step aside…
Thanks

New flamerobin snapshots (git hash 5ece15b) for Windows 32 and 64 bit are uploaded to SourceForge.net.
The 32 bit build does no longer contain a version for Windows 9X
versions, only the Unicode build is included. The Inno Setup created
installer should not allow the installation on Win 9X but I haven’t
tested this.
All builds use Boost libraries version 1.54, for the necessary changes
to be able to compile it with MSVC++ 7.1 see boost ticket
Testing and reporting on your findings would be great
LazSqlX New Version Released (4.0.0.1219) that added Firebird support and with other Bugfixes
Already is requested to update the version in Softpedia, it will take a while there, but here it is in SourceForge area
