    SQLite 3.8.0 released
    Version 3.8.0 of the SQLite database management library is out. "Do
    not fear the zero in this version number! The 3.8.0 release might easily
    have been called 3.7.18 instead. We decided to increase the minor version
    from 7 to 8 because of the rewrite of the query planner. But the software
    is quite stable and is ready for production use.
    " Along with the new query planner, this
    release adds partial
    indexes
    and more; see the changelog for details.

    [$] Calibrating Calibre 1.0
    [Calibre's grid browser] File management does not seem to be a one-size-fits-all proposition. Thus, while general-purpose file managers exist, it often appears that much of the development effort goes into domain-specific management tools. We have a whole set of photo management applications, for example, and even more music managers. When it comes to electronic books, though, there seems to only be one viable project out there: Calibre. LWN last looked at Calibre almost exactly two years ago. The recent version 1.0 release provides an obvious opportunity to see what has been happening with this fast-moving utility.
