Firebird Python driver FDB 0.9.9 is released

FDB release 0.9.9 (a.k.a. almost final) is out:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fdb

New Features:
– Firebird ARRAY support.

Other changes:
– Cursor.execute() returns Self, so it could be used as iterator.
– Reading output from Services now uses more efficient method to get data from server.

Bugs Fixed:
– Fix: precision_cache in Connection works as intended.

This was supposed to be 1.0 final release, but I’ve decided to make 1.0
mode optimized. So 0.9.9 is feature complete driver, and 1.0 release
planed for January 2013 would contain only optimizations (and bug fixes
if needed).

One more reason to upgrade to Firebird 2.5.2 : CVE-2012-5529

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the TraceManager of
Firebird, performed preparation of an empty dynamic SQL query. When the trace mode was
