Where can one find source archives of old SQLite versions? - sqlite

The downloads page on www.sqlite.org appears to only have links to the current version, and I would like to get a previous version. I cannot see any obvious links to historical versions on the site and (unless I'm missing something obvious) there does not appear to be a sourceforge project.
Can someone point me at an archive of old SQLite source releases if such a thing exists?
Nigel.

I found this in their old message list archives. Hopefully this helps:
Older version of SQLite are aviable
from the website, but there are no
direct links on the web pages. You
need to manually edit the links to
get the file you need.
The 2.1 version of the database file
implies that it was created with a
2.X.Y version of SQLite. You should get the latest version which is
2.8.17 (I believe).
If you go the download page
http://www.sqlite.org/download.html
and the right click on the link to
download the latest Windows binary
file, then
select Copy Link Location (at least
using Firefox, in IE the command is
Copy Shortcut). Now open a new tab or
window and paste the link into the
address bar. You can edit the link and
replace the version number with the
version you want to download. In your
case you need to change
http://www.sqlite.org/sqlitedll-3_5_6.zip
to
http://www.sqlite.org/sqlitedll-2_8_17.zip
and then press enter to start

I know this question is kind of old but there's an easier way to get the URL to the older zip files.
Using a combination of answers here, you can calculate the download URL of the zip file for the specific version you want.
Determine the version number you want to get (we'll use 3.8.7.4 as an example)
Look on the timeline (http://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline?t=release) to figure out the year in which your desired version was released (3.8.7.4 was released in 2014)
Normalize the version number into exactly 7 digits. Expand each piece into 2 digits with leading zeroes except for the initial 3 which should remain 1 digit. For example 3.8.7.4 becomes 3080704. 3.13.0 becomes 3130000. (If there is no 4th period delimited piece, use 00)
Using your normalized version number, plug it into one of these formats, depending on what you're looking for (Replace the text '7DIGITS' in the urls below with your normalized version number, replace the text YEAR with the year in which the version was released
Source: http://www.sqlite.org/YEAR/sqlite-src-7DIGITS.zip
Amalgamated: http://www.sqlite.org/YEAR/sqlite-amalgamation-7DIGITS.zip
So our example versions become
http://www.sqlite.org/2014/sqlite-src-3080704.zip and http://www.sqlite.org/2014/sqlite-amalgamation-3080704.zip
I haven't tried this for every version but my 3 test versions worked. I would imagine the other download types (like precompiled binaries, documentation, etc) work as well.

Direct Access To The Sources
Also, if you want to compile yourself. Access to all SQLite source code is maintained in a CVS repository that is available for read-only access by anyone. You can interactively view the repository contents and download individual files by visiting this link
Also
www.sqlite.org/src/timeline?t=release will show when every sqlite version was released.
Checkout from cvs from the date you want and compile. Instruction how to checkout from cvs are here
Note: Use the -D option to checkout by date

The idea from TomWitt2 is fantastic (I had spent hours to find solution) but now the links seems to be have modified so follow below steps to get your archived version:
Get the latest version link from the download page here http://www.sqlite.org/download.html
Get your normalized 7 digit number as mentioned in answer by TomWitt2
Just replace the number in the link and you are ready to go

I've tried a few solutions on this page and elsewhere, all that I've seen seem outdated and no longer work. I've done the steps below as of 5/4/2016 with success.
Go to http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/finfo?name=www/downloads.wiki to view the history of the SQLite downloads wiki.
Search (ctrl+f) for the version you want (ex. 1.0.91.0)
Select the commit ID and it will open that old version of the page complete with download links to source code as well as precompiled binaries and setups.
You won't always find the version in a search (ex. 1.0.98.0), but it should be reasonably easy to find the correct page by the surrounding versions/commits.
You can also check archive.org for the downloads page:
http://web.archive.org/web/20150101000000*/http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/downloads.wiki
Find the date that your desired version was released on from the SQLite news page (you may need to pick the next archive date after that). Select your desired link (sometimes the download page was archived, more ofter it seems like it was not). If the download page was not archived, edit the address bar to remove the archive.org-related info and you should be able to navigate directly to the SQLite download page for that version.

Follow this link to the official website and under "3.0 Obtaining Code Directly From the Version Control System" you can read further directions:
get the list of release check-ins (this link)
choose the required check-in
download source code archive
The oldest release available now is from
2007-08-13.

You are correct to point out that https://www.sqlite.org/download.html only links to the most recent release, but a page always linking the current release combined with Wayback Machine preserving every (well, hopefully) version of said page, is all you need to download your favorite release:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.sqlite.org/download.html
Given that the binaries themselves have not been removed, of course, but fortunately they seem intact to me.
In fact, I just downloaded SQLite 3.9.2 through this page:
http://web.archive.org/web/20151231190003/https://www.sqlite.org/download.html

You can get all release of SQLite from https://www.sqlite.org/chronology.html, this page contains the history of SQLite releases

RoboHelp is missing ouput preset for CHM generation

Adobe RoboHelp 2020 Trial Version:
The list of available output presets is also missing Responsive HTML5, and Mobile App.
I did have a problem with the PDF output geneation. Error message advised to install Java runtime, as it was missing. After Java installation, PDF genearated. But its bookmarks did not work at all.
I have worked laboriously at learning how to use the RoboHelp; and also took several days to create my project. I desperately need to generate CHM output for a Windows program that I developed. I was devastated when I finally went to generate CHM output/Microsoft HTML Help, it was not on thelist of presets.
That said, I am at wits end, having searched for potential solutions. Can someone please suggest a solution?
Also the Adobe RoboHelp 2020 Trial Version contains the functionality to generate CHM help files.
To add and output the Microsoft HTML Help (CHM) in your presets, click the + icon in the Outputs panel as shown in the screenshot below.
Select Type Microsoft HTML Help
Enter a short Name like CHM
After that it is available for permanent use, e.g. in the Quick Generate window.
I updated RH 2020.
I selected the Microsoft HTML Help preset
I configured the preset: I selected the TOC file. I specified the output folder, which is on a different drive than the project folder. (I knew that it could not be in the location whose parent folder was the project folder.)
Then I clicked the command button to generate the CHM. The progress display continuously indicated the various task that were being performed during the generation process.
Ultimately, I clicked the View Output button. The program displayed an error message indicating that the CHM filed could not be opened. I checked the output designation folder; and, the file existed. However, it was only 1 KB. I double-clicked the CHM file; but, the same error message appeared as when I attempted to open the file from within RoboHelp.
As an aside, I tried he same process with RoboHelp’s sample project, i.e., Compass Travel. And, wouldn’t you know it? The CHM file did properly generate and display; even the bookmarks functioned as expected.
That said, I had mentioned in the original post that I had generated a PDF output. But, the bookmarks did not worked.
Clarification:
The H 1 bookmarks display. However, clicking anyone of the them results in nothing. Whereas most of the H 1 folders have several H 2 subfolders; and there existed two H-3 level items.

Download entire history of a Wikipedia page in HTML Format

I want to download the entire revision history of a single article on Wikipedia in HTML format, thanks to this question question, I am getting the entire history of a Wikipedia page in a JSON format but I want to get as a HTML format with images and everything.
I tried to convert to that json to other format but it did not work. Is there any way to doing this?
If you visit page then there is link view history which shows list of all previous versions and every version has link curr to display page which compares old version with current version.
Every link has &diff=...&oldid=... and if you remove &diff=... and keep &oldid=... then you should get only old version as HTML (with header which informs that you visit old version)
See page for Stack_Overflow
Current version:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_Overflow
or
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stack_Overflow&oldid=1074237099
The oldest version:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stack_Overflow&oldid=273483259
This way you could get HTML for all versions.
And if you use #diff=... with ID for different version (doesn't have to be current) then you can see also differences between two versions.
Current version:
The oldest version:

How to browse through the full command history in RStudio

Occasionally I had not saved my source script, and its old version opened. I can find the new version which was executed during the previous session, but only like shreds: I search in history and it shows me a piece of code, but not all lines though they were executed simultaneously. Is there any way to access the complete history, which is definitely stored somewhere, but not shown as a whole? Thanks!
I am using R version 3.6.2 and RStudio Version 1.2.5033.
Search for the "history_database" file. It is an ASCII file and it is usually stored in the folder
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\RStudio-Desktop
Please, take a look at: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200526217-Command-History
use shortcut key Ctrl + 4 to put focus on history or Ctrl+Shift+4 to enlarge window of history. Let us know

Load file back from local history in Brackets IDE

We use Adobe Brackets on Windows OS. Is there any way to get file back from its local history in Brackets IDE?
You know, many of ides save file`s local history without need for a vcs.
There’s no such thing as a local history in Adobe Brackets at the time of writing. But you can upvote the corresponding backlog item to increase its priority.
You are going to load a past history of the file from a Windows Backup. Before you do it you need to anticipate that that backup is not going to contain any current additions. So to save some time you need to (for example) copy and paste the full extent of your current css file into notepad, and also copy and paste any rows or columns of good HTML that are fairly recent. Now you are ready to revert to a prior version of your HTML, CSS files that will be approx. 2 days older.

How do I insert the latest TFS changeset number into an aspx page?

When we were using SVN, we'd always print at the footer of our pages: "Revision XXXX". I've been looking, but I can't figure out how to do the same thing with TFS. Can anyone offer some pointers?
In case this matters: we're using ASP.NET MVC. I'm guessing it doesn't matter, however.
You can use the default version system for assemblies to track revisions number without adding anything in TFS.
If you use the Major.Minor.* format in your AssemblyInfo's AssemblyVersion attribute (e.g. [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]) it will generate a version according to the following format:
Major.Minor.Build.Revision
where
Major = Your value
Minor = Your value
Build = Number of days since
2000/01/01
Revision = (Number of seconds since midnight on the day
specified in Build) / 2
This will give you an always increasing number which gives you precise information on build date and time.
To use these values in your code, you can simply recover the version using Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.
You can update version number of projects in AssemblyInfo.cs using assembly versioning tools/techniques like this. Version number of an assembly can be updated based on TFS changeset number. Version number then can be displayed in application.
At least when it was released, TFS didn't allow symbol replacement in files which is what I think you're after. I'm not sure if that has changed in more recent versions.
Changeset != Version
That being said, you can add a setting in web.config that holds the version number, and display that on the page. The version number can be updated as part of the build process, but it will not correlate to a changeset.
I should probably add that this can become a circular problem. If you get the latest changeset number for a project, then add that to the config (as named above), then checkin, you are no longer displaying the latest changeset. Adding 1 to the latest changeset is not a guarantee either, because something can be checked in while you are updating the files.
We ended up using a MsBuild task that searches for a particular string and replaces with the appropriate value (not necessarily the revision number).
The task runs as part of our build templates and puts the revision number in all the files that have the token present.
