BOSTON, MA - 20 Jun 2007: At Enterprise 2.0, IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced the availability of IBM Lotus Quickr, team collaboration software that includes IBM's first commercially available wiki and integration with everyday office applications from Lotus and Microsoft. A common challenge among business computer users is that they are forced to leave their favorite application environment to collaborate with users inside or outside their company. Although new social computing tools are making collaboration easier than before, wikis and blogs are often used as standalone applications, making software integration and team productivity difficult. Lotus Quickr offers a simple team collaboration model with a shared content library, team workspaces, wikis, blogs and business templates that are easy to use and can be extended to include other new social networking elements such as bookmarking and tagging. A recent Forrester survey of 119 CIOs stated a "strong desire to purchase Web 2.0 technologies -- blogs, wikis, podcasts, RSS, social networking and tagging -- as a suite, as well as an equally strong desire to purchase these technologies from large, incumbent software vendors. Overall, 61% of respondents indicated that they would prefer both a suite solution and a large, incumbent vendor." (1) At the heart of Lotus Quickr are connectors, mini-applications that integrate Quickr capabilities with other everyday applications. For example, users can easily access designated content directly from IBM Lotus Notes, Lotus Sametime, Microsoft Windows Explorer and Microsoft Office software and store it within a Quickr shared library. Additionally, IBM plans to expand Lotus Quickr's interoperability by providing a connector to Microsoft Outlook email software later this year. "Lotus Quickr is an extremely competitive content and collaboration product that can be extended and customized to meet specific business and industry needs," said Daniel Lieber, president of Inno

SQLite reached version 3.4.0 This release fixes two separate bugs either of which can lead to database corruption. Upgrading is strongly recommended. If you must continue using an older version of SQLite, please at least read about how to avoid these bugs at CorruptionFollowingBusyError and ticket #2418 This release also adds explicit limits on the sizes and quantities of things SQLite will handle. The new limits might causes compatibility problems for existing applications that use excessively large strings, BLOBs, tables, or SQL statements. The new limits can be increased at compile-time to work around any problems that arise. Nevertheless, the version number of this release is 3.4.0 instead of 3.3.18 in order to call attention to the possible incompatibility. There are also new features, including incremental BLOB I/O and incremental vacuum. See the change log for additional information.

Supports terabyte-sized databases and gigabyte-sized strings and blobs. (See limits.html.) Small code footprint: less than 250KiB fully configured or less than 150KiB with optional features omitted. Faster than popular client/server database engines for most common operations. Simple, easy to use API. TCL bindings included. Bindings for many other languages available separately. Well-commented source code with over 98% test coverage. Available as a single ANSI-C source-code file that you can easily drop into another project. Self-contained:
