The first code check-in for SQLite occurred on 2000-05-29 14:26 UTC -  
ten years ago today.

Some of the code in SQLite (such as the Lemon parser generator and the  
printf implementation) dates back to the late 1980s.  But the core of  
SQLite was not started until 10 years ago.  Ten years is not that long  
ago, though it has been long enough to amass 7114 check-ins - an  
average of 2.1 check-ins per day.  If you are overseeing such a  
project, 10 years seems like forever.  It has hard for me to remember  
a time when I wasn't working on SQLite.

In celebration of SQlite's 10th birthday, we are revamping the look of  
the SQLite website.  You can see a preview of the new look at

     http://www.sqlite.org/draft/index.html

We won't push the new look out to the main website until we do the  
next release which might not be until July or maybe even August.  We  
had hoped to have SQLite version 3.7.0 ready in time for the 10th  
birthday celebration, but http://www.sqlite.org/draft/wal.html is  
taking longer than planned.  We want to make sure to get things right  
so that SQLite lives to see its 20th and 30th birthdays!

Thanks, everybody, for helping to make SQLite the most widely deployed  
SQL database engine in the world.  And Happy 10th Birthday to SQLite!
