With InterXpress for Firebird you have guaranteed access to
Firebird and all its features. The driver comes in two versions:
– Desktop Edition
– Server Edition
All versions come with a full year of support and maintenance
updates. The support period can be extended at a reduced price
after the first year.
Marco has expressed his opinion about the actual relationship between Borland/CodeGear and Firebird in his blog:
As Carlos Cantu noted, it is very relevant that one of the InterBase engineers (Sriram Balasubramanian) blogged his congratulations. This gives me a good chance to reiterate something I mentioned many times on my blog, my hope that CodeGear (and the Delphi team in particular) will consider Firebird as a partner and not as a competitor of InterBase (the project Firebird was spinned off with Borland/Inprise original blessing). In my opinion, the key priority is to fully support Firebird in dbExpress with a specific driver, but official IBX support will also be nice to have.
FirebirdNews desires to all its visitors a very Happy New Year!
Go Firebird!
Sriram Balasubramanian (InterBase R&D engineer ) wrote a “congratulations” post in his blog for Firebird’s “SourceForge Project of the month” nomination.

We‘ve rolled out a new release as promised, mostly bugfixes with some important improvements in efficiency(faster work over slow links, faster processing of long SQL statements and more responsive data grid when used with large datasets), please download it and try it. We have binary packages for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and sources, of course. Here are the things fixed in 0.8.3.
Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.99.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite or large loop) via the (1) Firebird/Interbase, (2) DCP ETSI, (3) IPv6, or (4) USB dissector, which can trigger resource consumption or a crash.
