I'd like to see an updated SQLite in 7.1, this is part of shoring up
the stability of the release IMO.

Thanks, Anatol and Davey for the fast reply.

After having a closer look at the release news, it seems that there have been no
major bugs in 3.8.10.2, and that release is not so old (2015-05-20), so I leave 5.6
and 7.0 as is.

For 7.0 it should be fine as well, I guess. I just meant it's usually enough to ask the RM of the lowest branch, as then it'll have to be merged up anyway.

Thanks

Anatol

7.1 and master should, however, be fixed (i.e. update of sqlite3.h and
sqlite3ext.h to 3.13.0). Done with <https://github.com/php/php-
src/commit/ee07e23>.

I'll try to keep an eye on SQLite3 wrt. new releases and possibly necessary
updates in PHP.

Hi!

What's our stance on updating the bundled SQLite3?

Currently the PHP-5.6 and 7.0 branch have 3.8.10.2, while the
PHP-7.1 and master branch have 3.9.2 (sqlite3.h) respectively 3.13.0
(sqlite3.c).
The latter
would have certainly to be fixed to be consistent, but I have some
doubts regarding sticking with old SQLite3 versions for supported
PHP
versions. After all,
all minor versions at least as of SQLite 3.9.0 are "regularly
scheduled maintenance releases"[1], and it appears that no bug-fixes
will be
published for
non-current minor versions.

Normally it is ok to upgrade the bundled libsqlite. When done
carefully, even in the stable branch. Fe from the news you've linked

• "Yikes! The
  3.12.0 and 3.12.1 releases contain a backwards compatibility bug!" :)
  But similar situations already happened before. However not upgrading
  it at all for 3 years is also not good, so fine with upgrading it from time to
  time.
  A respective RM should be better asked for approval.

Regards

Anatol
