A Mandriva Live CD with Firebird has been compiled by Our Man in Mandriva, Philippe Makowski. Current version has Mandriva 2007.1, Firebird 2.0.1 Classic, Flamerobin, Ibwebadmin and KInterbasDB. More info and download links at the Firebird Downloads page.
And here is the promised Release Candidate for Firebird 2.0.3. Testers, please give it a good soaking and report problems to Firebird-devel.
The Firebird 2.0.2 release has been recalled due to a significant regression that has shown up (Tracker Issue CORE-1434). Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience. A release candidate for v.2.0.3 will follow shortly.
FirebirdClient v2.1.0 Release Candidate 2, ADO.NET Data Provider for Microsoft .NET 2.0 and Mono, is available for download. The installer of this version has been built using Wix. If all goes well, this will be the last release candidate.
New snapshot builds will be unavailable over the weekend and possibly until Tuesday GMT, due to an infrastructure problem. Sorry!
