Well, the cat is sort of out of the bag.... however - some details
We have always planned to release this driver as open source, when the time
was right - about now is the right time... but there are still some pieces
that need to be finished off before we planned to go public with this,
putting the source code onto the Firebird project was just a piece of the
overall puzzle. We still have some other bits and pieces to iron out.
1. We want to offer the binaries and source as a simple download from
IBPhoenix
2. We would like to provide some build instructions
3. We would like to offer some hints on what it can and can't do currently
4. We would like to offer some hints on possible future directions
5. We need to host the Open Source license
6. And finally we would have liked to co-ordinate the announcement:-)
Its coming.....
