IBPhoenix are pleased to announce that Replicant Technologies and IBPhoenix have come to an
agreement regarding the acquisition of the source code, the development, sales, marketing and
support rights for IBReplicator

Under the new agreement (from today), IBPhoenix will take responsibility for marketing, selling and
supporting existing versions of the product for Windows, Linux and Solaris, and we will immediately
begin developing new versions of this flagship product for InterBase® 7 and the forthcoming
FirebirdT 1.5 release.

Once we have organized our source tree and our resources, we will make a further announcement about
projected release dates.

At some point we would also like to release a Linux version of the Replication Manager program
(currently available only for Microsoft WindowsT) and an enhanced set of user documentation.
