chng {2005 August 21 (3.2.3)} {
<li>Added support for the CAST operator</li>
<li>Tcl interface allows BLOB values to be transferred to user-defined
functions</li>
<li>Added the "transaction" method to the Tcl interface</li>
<li>Allow the DEFAULT value of a column to call functions that have constant
operands</li>
<li>Added the ANALYZE command for gathering statistics on indices and
using those statistics when picking an index in the optimizer</li>
<li>Remove the limit (formerly 100) on the number of terms in the
WHERE clause</li>
<li>The right-hand side of the IN operator can now be a list of expressions
instead of just a list of constants</li>
<li>Rework the optimizer so that it is able to make better use of indices</li>
<li>The order of tables in a join is adjusted automatically to make
better use of indices</li>
<li>The IN operator is now a candidate for optimization even if the left-hand
side is not the left-most term of the index.  Multiple IN operators can be
used with the same index.</li>
<li>WHERE clause expressions using BETWEEN and OR are now candidates
for optimization</li>
<li>Added the "case_sensitive_like" pragma and the SQLITE_CASE_SENSITIVE_LIKE
compile-time option to set its default value to "on".</li>
<li>Use indices to help with GLOB expressions and LIKE expressions too
when the case_sensitive_like pragma is enabled</li>
<li>Added support for grave-accent quoting for compatibility with MySQL</li>
<li>Improved test coverage</li>
<li>Dozens of minor bug fixes</li>
}

chng {2005 June 13 (3.2.2)} {
<li>Added the sqlite3_db_handle() API</li>
<li>Added the sqlite3_get_autocommit() API</li>
<li>Added a REGEXP operator to the parser.  There is no function to back
up this operator in the standard build but users can add their own using
sqlite3_create_function()</li>

  This release adds the <a href="lang_analyze.html">ANALYZE</a> command,
  the <a href="lang_expr.html">CAST</a> operator, and many
  very substantial improvements to the query optimizer.  See the
  <a href="changes.html#version_3_2_3">change log</a> for additional

  within that transaction an UPDATE or INSERT statement fails due to a
  constraint, then you try to rollback the whole transaction, the rollback
  might not work correctly.  See
  <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=1171">Ticket #1171</a>
  for details.  Upgrading is recommended for all users.

newsitem {2005-Mar-16} {Version 3.1.6} {
  Version 3.1.6 fixes a critical bug that can cause database corruption
  when inserting rows into tables with around 125 columns. This bug was
  introduced in version 3.0.0.  See
  <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=1163">Ticket #1163</a>
  for additional information.
}

newsitem {2005-Mar-11} {Versions 3.1.4 and 3.1.5 Released} {
  Version 3.1.4 fixes a critical bug that could cause database corruption
  if the autovacuum mode of version 3.1.0 is turned on (it is off by
  default) and a CREATE UNIQUE INDEX is executed within a transaction but
  fails because the indexed columns are not unique.  Anyone using the
  autovacuum feature and unique indices should upgrade.

  Version 3.1.5 adds the ability to disable
  the F_FULLFSYNC ioctl() in OS-X by setting "PRAGMA synchronous=on" instead
  of the default "PRAGMA synchronous=full".  There was an attempt to add
  this capability in 3.1.4 but it did not work due to a spelling error.
}

newsitem {2005-Feb-19} {Version 3.1.3 Released} {
  Version 3.1.3 cleans up some minor issues discovered in version 3.1.2.
}
  
newsitem {2005-Feb-15} {Versions 2.8.16 and 3.1.2 Released} {
  A critical bug in the VACUUM command that can lead to database
  corruption has been fixed in both the 2.x branch and the main
  3.x line.  This bug has existed in all prior versions of SQLite.
  Even though it is unlikely you will ever encounter this bug,
  it is suggested that all users upgrade.  See
  <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=1116">

  changes to both the C-language API and the underlying file format
  that will enable SQLite to better support internationalization.
  The first beta is schedule for release on 2004-July-01.

  Plans are to continue to support SQLite version 2.8 with
  bug fixes.  But all new development will occur in version 3.0.
