Actually, "branch-1.28" doesn't contain a release version of
SQLite either, it contains the most stable version. This is
almost the same, but not 100%. I'll try to explain (my
personal view, but I'm sure I'm not the only one).
The most stable version at 2013-12-06 was SQLite 3.8.2, there is
no question about it. Proof:
<http://www.sqlite.org/checklists/3080200/index>
What does it actually mean, the "most stable SQLite"?
Most people would say, the SQLite version which the
least number of bugs. Well, no-one know how much
bugs SQLite has, we only know how much bugs are
reported and how many are found during testing.
There are 6 known bugs in SQLite 3.8.2 (that I am
aware of), all of them are fixed in SQLite trunk.
Only one of them can cause an exception
while executing certain SQL queries:
<http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/520070ec7fbaac>
There are 3 bug-fixes in "shell.c". Since shell.c
is not actually part of SQLite there is actually
no issue here. SQLite trunk's shell.c contains
only bug-fixes, so the "shell.c" from there
is the most stableone. For those who
are interested:
<http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/5e239ecda0>
<http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/96397263f9>
<http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/ac15455abc>
The two remaining are minor. One that only
affects Cygwin:
<http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/c43b59dac1>
And the last one which doesn't affect fossil
at all because fossil doesn't use fork():
<https://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users@sqlite.org/msg81284.html>
Branch "branch-1.28" currently contains SQLite 3.8.2
with 5 additional bug-fixes: All the ones mentioned
above except the last one. Of course, this needs
approval from Richard. Any more bug-fixes that
should go in the branch? Any bug-fixes that I missed?
Thank you very much for your attention!
Regards,
Jan Nijtmans
