AnySQL Maestro comes in both Freeware and Professional editions (more information).
New version introduces enhanced data management abilities, advanced SQL Dump wizard, updated SQL Editor and other new features (full press release).
After An interesting read.
Norman Dunbar updated the gbak manual with the following:
A section on the use of stdin and stdout “file names” and how to clone
a database – on the same server – using a pipe and these “file names” to
avoid the use of a temporary intermediate dump file.
A section on carrying out remote backups and restores using the above
as well as an ssh session. This allows a remote database to be cloned to
a local server, a local database to be cloned to a remote server and a
remote database to be cloned to (another) remote server.
Further updates to document the use of the stdin and stdout file names in backups and restores. A section has been added to Gbak Caveats giving more in depth detail about these two special file names.
Here is the New Roadmap for the Year 2013
Firebird SQL 3.0 Alpha 1 soon according to the Roadmap
Adriano dos Santos Fernandes wrote on firebird-devel about the github mirror for svn (it wasn’t updated sice December)
I have manually pushed (*) the changes and I believe it will push
automatically since now.
* Due to the fact that sourceforge accepted some commits on the older
SVN repository, and that commits were already pushed to GIT, I had to
force push now, so the latests commits have changed. Not a good thing,
but no better way to do it. I hope it still works. 🙂
Old svn repo is closed after the SF migration , Use the new one
Please use ‘svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/firebird/code/firebird/trunk’ to get fresh source code

Here are the source code changes for Firebird 2.5.x branch in the Month of October :
– Fix compilation for semaphore classes [57221]
