Not exactly or not only firebird-related, but here it goes anyway…

The new version 1.5 of InstantBDExpress (IBDX) is now available. IBDX is a component library designed to ease the conversion of existing BDE applications over to the dbExpress technology.

This is the first publicly available release of IBDX, which has been used in-house to support conversion projects for our customers in the
last two years.

IBDX is available for Delphi 7 and Delphi 2006; as per our hassle-free policy, the trial version doesn’t have any limitations or expiration;
it only lacks the sources.

We believe in IBProvider v3 quality and robustness. And we want to make a gift for all Interbase and Firebird Community users. New IBProvider v3 Free Edition is absolutely free of charge and most powerful version based on the commercial core of IBProvider v3. We are sure the community will appreciate our gift, since previous free IBProvider v1.5 (Dec 2001) still counts about a thousand downloads a month.
