InterBase Roadmap Presented in Tokyo

DavidI presented a roadmap for InterBase in Tokyo, which covers versions 8, 8.5, and 9, and describes the currently planned features for InterBase up through late 2007. You can download his slides [PDF]. Thanks to José Luis Rocha for the link.

Here’s the condensed version of the IB roadmap as it currently stands. Please note that roadmaps are by definition works in progress and hence planned features may change before the products are released. This is a plan, not a promise.

InterBase 8.0

Currently planned for Q2 2006

  • Incremental backup
  • Point-in-time recovery
  • More/better Unicode support (UTF8, UCS2)

InterBase 8.5 / Q2 2006

Currently planned for Q4 2006

  • OEM/ISV enhancements.*
  • Enhanced Java Support

* I’m not sure what this means, but my wild guess is that it’s features to make IB better for people who use it as an embedded database for a software product.

InterBase 9.0

Currently planned for Q3 2007

  • Security
  • .NET enhancements
