Here is the git repository for Firebird Ruby driver , also you can check the
commits log
ps: he is working on Firebird 2.5 support if you wonder what is new in the driver 🙂
From Irina Pisklyarova:
Devart announced the new versions of VCL Data Access Components with full support of Embarcadero RAD Studio XE.
NOTE :: To make the new engine work properly under multi-threaded conditions we had to use Grand Central Dispatch, which was first released in MacOSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard). MacOSX users should be aware that Firebird 2.5 will run only on MacOSX 10.6 or higher versions. If you want to use an earlier version of OSX you will need to use an earlier version of Firebird.

You can follow this guide to use the mix of Debian sid and experimental distro with latest Firebird package

Helper C library for writing UDFs for Firebird in Lua (as well as a small collection of useful UDFs). The Firebird UDF interface would hopefully be obsoleted in Firebird v3.0 and replaced with the new External Engine API. Until then, I hope you find this little library helpful. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.
http://code.google.com/p/firebird-lua-udfs/
For tips on how to write UDFs for Firebird yourself, read UdfWritingTips.
PS: If writing UDFs in Lua seems overkill, checkout the other UDF library written in freepascal.
