ZeosLib – New bug tracker and SVN snapshot downloads
We‘re very happy to see you’re intensively testing version 6.6.
To make testing and bug reporting easier we decided to change a few things.
[ED: There are good guides for using Zeos components with Firebird+Delphi and Lazarus too]
Vuln: Firebird Remote Pre-Authentication Database Name Buffer Overrun Vulnerability
Old vulnerability surfaced up from the deep . If you have an old Firebird 1.5.x please upgrade to latest version
ps: seems that securityfocus is updating their own vuln database so this is why it surfaced up again (the bug was squashed long long time ago)
MDO – an alternative set of components for Delphi/Firebird
Edson Lidorio wrote an small intro to MDO components (original version is in portuguese)

dbdesc maintenance release (2.0.1)
from dbdesc blog: Even though you can connect with a Firebird 2.0 server to document a database, using the local (embedded) connection does not work because it needs the new fbembed.dll version. I’ve uploaded a maintenance release (2.0.1) to address this issue. Installer size has grown a little (~1 MB) because of the updated Firebird libraries.
