You can download and install the package directly from debian sid (tested and works on ubuntu natty too )
http://packages.debian.org/sid/flamerobin
ChangeLog:
-New upstream SVN snapshot : revision 2105
-If main window close event can be vetoed then loop through all other BaseFrame instances and check whether they veto the closing (check for open transactions, unsaved changes to files, active background work and so on). Replaces the previous confirmation dialog that was always shown.
-Store last selected authentication mode for database creation as selection index of the choice control instead of string selection because the entries are translatable strings
-Correct value of ExecuteSqlFrame status bar pane with database connection info restored
-LogTextControl modified to be read-only, custom context menu implemented for selecting, copying and clearing the content
-Regression fixed: parameter data type weren’t shown in procedure property pages any more

The most important reason to supoort Python2.5 is “Jython”.

One of the biggest tasks for the long-awaited Firebird 3.0 release is the Shared Page Cache feature. With this feature, Firebird will finally be able to fully benefit of SMP machines without having to work with individual cache for every connection.
Vlad Khorsun had been busy working on this, and judging by recent commits to SoundForge, the task is almost finished. Part of the code came from Vulcan. He hopes that people will help doing lots of tests when the first alpha release appears.
Note: Up to now, Shared Cache was only available in the SuperServer model, but SS is not optimized for SMP.

The main change is that now it requires firebird2.5-dev instead of firebird3.0 headers and decided that is better to  have a flamerobin 0.9.3 in the distros released for the next 1-2 years with a stable firebird 2.5.x and add firebird 3.0 requirement when is ready and stable ~1-2 years
Changelog:
* New upstream SVN snapshot : revision 2100
*Â Uploaded to unstable
* Stop using system-wide ibase.h.Unstable has no fb3.0 so system-wide ibase.h has no boolean defines,which are used by FR and were ported to IBPP’s embedded copy of ibase.h
* build-depend on firebird2.5-dev instead of firebird-dev(firebird-dev is only in experimental)
You can download and install the package directly from debian sid (tested and works on ubuntu natty too )

Also for ubuntu the install guide is now updated

Here are the notes on using Firebird Embedded in Azure
Recently I was playing with Amazon EC2 trying what I could use it for. I was playing with Firebird there as well. But in fact you have virtual machine you can use. So using Firebird there wasn’t that hard. But I got and idea about Azure, because it’s more platform for applications than computers.
Then the VM role was introduced and the challenge was somehow not so challenging.
