- justin66 1y agoI assume the SQLite team could increment the version to 4 if they really needed to, and leave the LOC to update (or not) their recommendation, which specifies version 3.
- chasil 1y agoVery true. However, a significant fraction of the current installed base would not upgrade, requiring new feature development for both versions. The test harness would also need implementations for both versions. Then the DO-178B status would would need maintenance for both. That introduces significant complexity.
