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!
