Good news. 
Specially looking forward to the identity and boolean functionality as well as window functions.

Scary is the use of C++ for the new API, which means we probably can't use it without an intermediate DLL.
What is not clear is whether the client API (fbclient) is now also C++, because then we're really in deep trouble.
