The SQLite documentation task is begin tracked by issue #3352. Just like other
documentation issues (CHANGES, the release notes), we can work on the SQLite
documentation during the soak.
As far as requiring "such a recent version" of SQLite, we currently require
3.4.0 or above, which was released on June 18, 2007. I'm of the opinion that if
a user wants to install a new version of Subversion, they may have to install
newer versions of the dependencies. Hopefully packagers are sensitive to this
fact as well, and will provide ways to get those dependencies.
And one more thing for 1.6, while I'm thinking about it. We should probably do
an issue sweep and determine which issues marked 1.6 are needed before the
release, and which are just fanciful. Any volunteers?
