Well Charlie, thanks for pointing me that page.  For sure the words about IBPP are kind and probably true, at the time that got published - which I don't know but it probably was some years ago.  Obviously the page is outdated and the sentence 'Actively developed and maintained' is misleading at least for the last 2 to 3 years.

I'll try to contact that site's owner and ask for some change in the text.

Strange.  I'm pretty sure Firebird 3 was meant to get a new API, based on C++.  Maybe it just is not listed because that FAQ page is clearly outdated or because it is not an external layer to Firebird, being the native interface.  I would suggest that you dig for information from people at Firebird project themselves before choosing your path for your C++ interface.
