I approve of this particular release changing the Y value (i.e. being 3.9.0) since it allows SQLite to create and change databases to a format which can't be opened with previous versions. "However, the current tarball naming conventions only reserve two digits for the Y and so the naming format for downloads will need to be revised in about 2030." If we're still actively using SQLite3 for new projects in 2030 (i.e. we haven't moved on to SQLite4 or something else entirely), they'd better award the dev team a solid platinum prize of some sort.
