After a couple of years of development Turboveg3 is now available as the successor of Turboveg2. It is a completely new software product, developed upon a solid database model, using state-of-the-art software components. Whereas a Turboveg2 database system may comprise hundreds of single dBaseIII+ files, Turboveg3 stores all plot observations and all corresponding information in a single, solid SQLite database. This new approach of storing data in a single file may be a good concept in general, since it offers a much more stable system. However, for some users the legacy dBaseIII+ files work just fine, as they have built their own tools to access the data, or by using R or Python scripts, or even good old ArcView. On the other hand, most scripting languages nowadays have interfaces to the world's most popular database system, SQLite, which should ease the process of accessing the data outside Turboveg3.
