On the behalf of the developers and contributors team, I'm pleased to announce that DBD::Firebird v0.60, a DBI driver for the Firebird RDBMS server, and the successor of the DBD::InterBase module has been released to CPAN.

This release is not the first, but is an important milestone because it is the first that compiles on GNU/Linux without warnings and passes all tests. We hope to see this happening on other platforms too, but we can do that only with support from the Perl Community.

This is a announcement and also a call for testers and contributors (developers) for all platforms and especially for Windows, (where it compiles with numerous warnings, and some of the tests fail), Darwin and for the other platforms formerly supported by the DBD::InterBase module.

The development is on GitHub at: https://github.com/mariuz/perl-dbd-firebird

Thank you,

Stefan
