drh appears to use major version number changes to mean “breaking file format change,” rather than just “major new version.” Calling those now-terminated experiments “SQLite v4” was a way of saying that the file format was open to backwards-incompatible change for the first time since v2, which was something like 15 years ago now. So, when drh says they aren’t going forward on the lines of development previously published as “SQLite 4” he’s saying that the current SQLite file format is expected to endure as-is for the foreseeable future. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
