Great Expectations for Jruby 1.0

[Can someone try Firebird with ActiveRecord Jdbc before the Jruby1.0 release??]
Since the release of JRuby 0.9.8 about a month ago, information about JRuby progress has been a little hard to find. But the latest news out of the JRuby camp leaves us no doubt that it is because the team is working harder than ever in order to deliver JRuby 1.0 before JavaOne.

Firebird 2.1 Alpha 1 Ready for Field Testing

The Firebird team is pleased to announce that the first Alpha builds of Firebird V.2.1 are ready for testing. Binary and source kits for Linux and and some Win64 and Win32 kits should start appearing at the Sourceforge mirrors today. For a summary of new features and bug fixes, see HERE.

win64 crazyness for labraries

In the same vein, the System32 directory is reserved for 64-bit libraries. 32-bit libraries go into SysWOW64. That's right: 64-bit libraries are in System32, 32-bit libraries in SysWOW64.You should be aware of this, otherwise you may have a hard time locating your 32-bit Firebird components on a 64-bit Windows system.(Incidentally, WOW stands for Windows on Windows. Now you can also work out what LOL means.)

spreading the word about latest firebird 2 (gold)

The Firebird Project today officially releases the much-anticipated
version 2.0 of its open source Firebird relational database software
during the opening session of the fourth international Firebird
Conference in Prague, Czech Republic.

Firebird 2.0 is the happy culmination of more than two years' efforts
from a broad-ranging, truly international community of dedicated
developers and supporters. It brings with it a large collection of
long-awaited enhancements that significantly improve performance,
security and support for international languages and realise some
desirable new SQL language features. Under the surface, it also
provides a much more robust code platform from which the
re-architecting planned for Firebird 3.0 is proceeding.
