Actually, Firebird 3.0 was released two years ago. The latest
sub-release is 3.0.3.

True: it is in Alpha.

With the fully unified engine, Firebird 3 embedded is no longer
distributed as a separate application. You use configuration and
protocol to set up and use embedded and/or any of the other models
from the single installation.

You really need to study the release notes closely to see how things
work now.

Embedded always was one choice from four server models. That has not
changed.
