[fossil-users] Release version of fossil based on embedded SQLite with alpha status?

2011-09-05 Thread Tino Lange
  It's been a long time since there has been an official release of 
Fossil.

 This is Version 1.19. Changes in this release include:
 [...]
  - Update to the latest SQLite version 3.7.8 alpha.
 

Hi!

An official release with an embedded *alpha* version? Is this really a 
release version meant for production as 1.18 was?

Cheers,

Tino

Yes.  Even alpha versions of SQLite are very stable.  Fossil version 1.19
is ready for production use.

The version of SQLite in Fossil 1.19 went through most of our pre-release
validation tests.  (See http://www.sqlite.org/checklists/3070800 for
details.)  Alpha is just a label.  Don't get hung up on it.

Note that we eat our own dogfood here.  The version of Fossil that runs
the Fossil website (and the SQLite website) is typically the tip of trunk -
even newer than the 1.19 release.  Note further that we also tend to use the
very latest SQLite (tip of trunk) on production code in-house.  This email
is being sent to you via gmail using Firefox-Nightly recompiled with the
SQLite tip-of-trunk, for example.



 Cheers,

 Tino
