Dmitry Yemanov wrote on Firebird-Devel mailing list :

We’re getting closer to the v3.0 feature freeze which is going to happen
this summer. Everything roadmapped for v3 but not implemented before the
deadline will be postponed. The next-after-v3 release is likely to
incorporate most of the postponed features, but there may be new
features as well. So it makes sense to start discussing what could and
should be done in the next version(s). We have a few months to collect
the proposals, discuss technical details and make estimates about the
required efforts.

This message is the invitation to both project members and users who
closely follow the development. If you want to discuss something for
potentially including into the new version(s), feel free to do that in
separate threads. Please be prepared to protect your opinion and discuss
the details, simple votes “I like feature X” don’t count. A tracker
ticket for the feature request is appreciated, please add its URL to
your post.

Just for the reference, the top-voted tickets can be found here in jira

The ongoing results of the planning stage will be published on our
website and scheduled for the next version(s) by the project admins.

This is just to let you know that I’m making time available for the Language Reference this year. I’m working on the DML chapter now, and I’m somewhere in the middle of the SELECT statement. All the others are finished (the other DML statements, that is – not the other chapters!)

I will do my utmost to have a “basic” Language Reference ready this year, i.e. possibly without all the details on Dialect 1 and other things that people can hopefully live without for a while (or grab the IB6 LangRef if they can’t).

Once finished, updating it to Firebird 3 shouldn’t be a hell of a job.

But it ain’t finished yet.
