Hello All, As there are many people involved and truly interested in further Firebird development in this thread, I would like to remind, that Firebird is funded by Firebird Foundation sponsors and members, and there is always ability to boost development with money sponsorship and donations.
If you want to help with it, consider to become a sponsor https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/how-to-become-a-sponsor/ For example, with extra USD$36k/year FF could allocate the additional grant for C++ developer, to implement more features in the short timeframe. 36k = 3 Platinum Sponsors (12k/year = 1k per month ) or 6 Gold (6k/year = 500 usd per month) or 12 Silver (3k) - or 36 Bronze sponsors (1k/year = 80 USD/month). The companies - Platinum sponsors have access to Task Technical Group and can influence and support their desired features in Firebird, other sponsors have a voting membership in Firebird Foundation (which can be bought separately by USD$300/year).
