FYI: the first alpha version of Firebird 3 has been released.

Firebird 3 has a new architecture and lots of changes, including a new
network protocol.

You can apparently run it with a module/setting that enables the FB
2.x protocol so existing drivers will work.
Perhaps time to look into a new, separate fb driver

Some highlights from the release notes:

Object-oriented C++ APIs enable external code routines to run  inside
the Firebird engine space, including (but not limited to):
Stored procedures, triggers and functions (e.g. in ObjectPascal)
Encryption schemes for data
User authentication schemes, including secure key exchange

A true BOOLEAN type

IDENTITY type (aka autonumber on other dbs) - no need any more to
define your own trigger+generator/sequence to get an auto ID number

One single library for both embedded and client/server operation

You cant because dbWorkBench not is released to Firebird 3, you need
use scripts to create a table, see the documentation to create autoinc
fields.
