Please lower the voltage: you and Mark are actually talking about two different, though likely related, issues. You complained that the user "cannot open their newer SQLite database on an older version of SQLite. " , Mark responded that the actual file format has not changed. But it it far from clear that it is the changes (or lack of them) in the file format that are blocking the user from upgrading. It could be an overprotective and clumsy version number check (that blocks them) for all we know. Or do you have specific evidence that it was a change in format that caused the problems you mention?
