FBLib (Firebird Pascal Library) repository has moved to Github
For years the FBLib (Firebird database library for Free Pascal, Delphi and Kylix) has lived in the 3rdParty directory tree of tiOPF. We are cleaning up the tiOPF repository, and so I have now moved the FBLib project out to Github, into its own repository. The repository history is intact. I still need to add a few more patches I have locally, and some Lazarus based support apps.
All future development of FBLib will now happen on Github.
To get a copy of the code:
git clone git://github.com/graemeg/firebird-lib.git
