Hey guys - "someone" would also like to get this discussion back on track.
If there is anything that has come out of these discussions is the importance of the Delphi/Free Pascal user base and the first requirement for the FB3 API has to be to ensure that these users have an efficient and easy to use API and which is backwards compatible. This is particularly important for Delphi where I doubt its developers will be that bothered about supporting a new Firebird API. The second requirement is the future - that is delivering a product that is attractive to use for new applications. That may or may not involve a separate API. Some may view the first requirement as boring while only the second is interesting. However, ignoring your existing user base is not exactly the best way to build a future. Both requirements are equally important.
