API is still the same. Yes, there are few new Firebird functions,
you can find them comparing, for example, ibase.h from Firebird 1.5 or
InterBase 6, with ibase.h from Firebird 2.5.
The most changes, as I know, were in the protocol, not affecting API.
And, yes, there will be new API, but seems it will be only in Firebird
3.0.

any application that uses InterBase or Firebird API can work with
Firebird embedded. That was the intention, to make embedded as simple as
changing client dll.

Maybe, your question related to different platforms (OS) support,
but this is not about API, this is about porting embedded to the
different platforms.
