I suggest to drop Atkins [for news readers] and start using gmane.org. I use it for several years in FireBase, and it had always been very stable.

We have also archive on mail-archive :

I’d like to share vital statistics on the activity, growth, and demographics of this group with you.

The first issue of the Firebird Project official newsletter is being sent right now! All the people that have subscribed to it should be receiving it in their email box in a few minutes. If you did not subscribe yet, just to go the project site main page and fill your email in the subscription widget at the left sidebar .

A web version of the report also can be viewed online, but I strongly suggest you to subscribe to the newsletter.

The good news is this LTS release will be supported for 5 years so is good that Firebird 2.5.1 is included in the repository

After the FaceBook Firebird page You can now join to the Firebird + Circle  and add it to your circles

ps: I will try to add my Firebird circle there and add the firebird foundation members with full admin rights

 

FYI: The status of the firebird2.5 source package in Debian’s testing distribution has changed.

Previous version: 2.5.1.26349-0~rc1.ds4-5 Current version: 2.5.1.26351.ds4-2

Alex Peshkoff Just fixed CORE-3646:

Segmentation fault for a FreePascal program,
that connects to a FB 2.5 database inside a thread.
The segmentation fault just occurs, when there is a
Firebird exception caught inside the thread.
