We are pleased to announce the first tangible results of Firebird Butler Project - Saturnin SDK milestone 1 release (v0.2). Available in both saturnin-sdk GIT repository and PyPI (saturnin-sdk and saturnin-sdk-examples distributions).

Milestone 1 provides basic infrastructure for creating classic services and clients (for running in separate threads or processes). FBSP implementation is at the current specification level (only without direct support for SVC_ABILITIES). So far, the developer documentation is only in the form of very carefully commented source codes.

This release also includes a command-line tool for running and testing services, and two sample services with clients and tests (ECHO and ROMAN).

Firebird Project announces the first Beta release of Firebird 4.0, the next major version of the Firebird relational database, which is now available for testing.

This Beta release arrives with features and improvements already implemented by the Firebird development team, as well as with countless bugfixes. Our users are appreciated giving it a try and providing feedback to the development mailing list. Apparent bugs can be reported directly to the bugtracker.

Beta releases are not encouraged for production usage or any other goals that require a stable system. They are, however, recommended for those users who want to help in identifying issues and bottlenecks thus allowing to progress faster through the Beta/RC stages towards the final release.

Please read the Release Notes carefully before installing and testing this Beta release.
