Dear Readers, I guess some of you have become a bit tired of waiting and wondering when the new issue would be released. I am really sorry about the long delay, but there have been some serious financial and time issues holding up production.
We’ve come to realize that producing the magazine with only advertising and sponsors to support it is impossible. We’ve decided to change our business model slightly. We are going to run special proprietary editions of each issue with bonus articles. These special editions will be available in electronic (printable PDF) and paper versions. From this issue forward, the latest issue will be available only for purchase for a period—say one or two weeks from publication—and will be fully released afterwards for everyone, minus the bonus articles. Now issue 1 (4) in 2006 is released. This issue is devoted to the cutting edge of Firebird technologies - Fyracle. You can read about Fyracle’s story and its exciting features. The second main topic is TPC-C test results. There are some very interesting results, so don’t miss the article about it in the TestBed section of our magazine! Our bonus material for this issue is the first part of “The Comprehensive Repairing Guide for InterBase and Firebird”. This part is “Corruption reasons, Part 1”. You can download free preview of issue 4 here: http://ibdeveloper.com/issues/issue-14-may-29-2006/ or buy electronic version (instant access to full PDF, including bonus article), USD$9.99/EUR9.99: http://www.shareit.com/product.html?productid=300073211 Paper version will be also available very soon. With best regards, Alexey Kovyazin Editor-In-Chief [EMAIL PROTECTED] The InterBase and Firebird Developer Magazine --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
