[Digikam-users] digiKam 0.9.4-rc1 release

[Treeve Jelbert]

while I welcome a new digikam  release, I think that integrating sqlite3 is a 
backward step.  If a security  fix is made to sqlite3, digikam will not benefit 
from it until it is re-released. 

Is it possible to disable the embedded version when building digikam from 
source?

As a general rule products should not embed other libraries, as it bloats the 
source code and introduces insecurity, as well as making more work for 
developers.

Regards, Treeve
