Unfortunately, the switch from using 2.8 to 3.x is not entirely trivial for
large projects.  I have a large project based on the 2.8 series (I'm using
2.8.16) and switching to the 3.x series is not feasible without a large
expenditure of (currently unavailable) time.  Although there are many
improvements in the 3.x series (and I'd really like to switch eventually), the
2.8 series existed for a long time and there are many projects still (by
necessity) using it.

When version 3.0.0 was release, the "News" indicated that:

   "The 2.8 series of SQLite will continue to be supported with bug fixes for
    the foreseeable future."
