<a name="2020_08_14"></a><h3>2020-08-14 - Release 3.33.0</h3><blockquote>
|
|
SQLite version 3.33.0 is a routine maintenance release. This
|
|
release features added support for "UPDATE FROM" following the
|
|
PostgreSQL syntax, and a doubling of the maximum database size
|
|
to 281 TB, as well as many other improvements. See the change
|
|
log for details.
|
|
</blockquote><hr width="50%"><a name="2020_06_18"></a><h3>2020-06-18 - Release 3.32.3</h3><blockquote>
|
|
The 3.32.3 release is a patch release that contains fixes for
|
|
various issues discovered by fuzzers. None of the issues fixed
|
|
are likely to be encountered by applications that use SQLite in
|
|
ordinary ways, though upgrading never hurts.
|
|
<p>
|
|

</blockquote><hr width="50%"><a name="2020_06_04"></a><h3>2020-06-04 - Release 3.32.2</h3><blockquote>
|
|
The 3.32.2 release is a one-line change relative to 3.32.1
|
|
that fixes a long-standing bug in the COMMIT command. Since
|
|
<a href="releaselog/3_17_0.html">version 3.17.0</a>, if you were to retry a COMMIT command over
|
|
and over after it returns <a href="rescode.html#busy">SQLITE_BUSY</a>, it might eventually
|
|
report success, even though it was still blocked. This patch
|
|
fixes the problem.
|
|
</blockquote><hr width="50%"><a name="2020_05_25"></a><h3>2020-05-25 - Release 3.32.1</h3><blockquote>
|
|
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_hat">Grey-hats</a> published
|
|
information about two SQLite bugs approximately 24 hours after
|
|
the release of version 3.32.0. These bugs enable maliciously
|
|
crafted SQL to crash the process that is running SQLite. Both
|
|
bugs are long-standing problems that affect releases prior to
|
|
3.32.0. The 3.32.1 release fixes both problems.
|
|
</blockquote><hr width="50%"><a name="2020_05_22"></a><h3>2020-05-22 - Release 3.32.0</h3><blockquote>
|
|
Version 3.32.0 is an ordinary maintenance release of SQLite.
|
|
This release features the ability to run an
|
|
<a href="lang_analyze.html#approx">approximate ANALYZE</a> to gather database statistics for
|
|
use by the query planner, without having to scan every row
|
|
of every index.
|
|
See the <a href="releaselog/3_32_0.html">change log</a> for additional enhancements
|
|
and improvements.
|
|
</blockquote><hr width="50%"><a name="2020_01_27"></a><h3>2020-01-27 - Release 3.31.1</h3><blockquote>
|
|
Applications that use SQLite should only interface with SQLite
|
|
through the officially published APIs. Applications should not
|
|
depend upon or use the internal data structures of SQLite as those
|
|
structures might change from one release to another. However, there
|
|
is a popular application that does depend on the details of the
|
|
internal layout of data in an internal SQLite data structure, and
|
|
those details changed in version 3.31.0, breaking the application.
|
|
This is, technically, a bug in the application, not in SQLite.
|
|
But it is within the power of SQLite to fix it, by reverting the
|
|
internal data structure change, and so that is what we have done
|
|
for the 3.31.1 release.
|
|
</blockquote><hr width="50%"><a name="2020_01_22"></a><h3>2020-01-22 - Release 3.31.0</h3><blockquote>
|
|
Version 3.31.0 is an ordinary maintenance release of SQLite.
|
|
This release features the ability to define

|
<a href="gencol.html">generated columns</a> for tables as well as many other enhancements.

|
|
Version 3.30.1 is a bug-fix release that addresses a problem
|
|
that can occur when an aggregate function in a nested query
|
|
makes use of the new FILTER clause capability. Some addition
|
|
patches for various obscure issues are also included, for
|
|
completeness.
|
|
</blockquote><hr width="50%"><a name="2019_10_04"></a><h3>2019-10-04 - Release 3.30.0</h3><blockquote>
|
|
Version 3.30.0 is a regularly scheduled maintenance release
|
|
of SQLite containing miscellaneous performance and feature
|
|
enhancements. This release adds support fo the NULLS FIRST
|
|
and NULLS LAST clauses on ORDER BY statements and the
|
|
addition of FILTER clauses on all aggregate functions.
|
|
See the <a href="releaselog/3_30_0.html">change log</a> for details.

|
</blockquote><hr width="50%"><a name="2019_07_10"></a><h3>2019-07-10 - Release 3.29.0</h3><blockquote>
|
|
Version 3.29.0 is a regularly scheduled maintenance release
|
|
of SQLite containing miscellaneous performance and feature
|
|
enhancements. See the <a href="releaselog/3_29_0.html">change log</a> for
|
|
details.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Beginning with this release, the
|
|
<a href="quirks.html#dblquote">double-quoted string literal</a> misfeature is deprecated.
|
|
The misfeature is still enabled by default, for legacy
|
|
compatibility, however developers are encouraged to
|
|
disable it at compile-time using the
|
|
<a href="compile.html#dqs">-DSQLITE_DQS=0</a> option, or at run-time using
|
|
the <a href="c3ref/c_dbconfig_defensive.html#sqlitedbconfigdqsdml">SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DQS_DML</a> and <a href="c3ref/c_dbconfig_defensive.html#sqlitedbconfigdqsddl">SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DQS_DDL</a>
|
|
actions to the <a href="c3ref/db_config.html">sqlite3_db_config()</a> interface. This is
|
|
especially true for double-quoted string literals in
|
|
CREATE TABLE and CREATE INDEX statements, as those elements
|
|
can cause unexpected problems following an ALTER TABLE.
|
|
See ticket <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/9b78184be266fd70">9b78184be266fd70</a>

</blockquote><hr width="50%"><a name="2019_04_16"></a><h3>2019-04-16 - Release 3.28.0</h3><blockquote>
|
|
Version 3.28.0 is a regularly scheduled maintenance release
|
|
of SQLite containing miscellaneous performance and feature
|
|
enhancements. See the <a href="releaselog/3_28_0.html">change log</a> for
|
|
details.
|
|
<p>
|
|
This release fixes an obscure security issue. Applications
|
|
using older versions of SQLite may be vulnerable if
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li> SQLite is compiled with certain optional extensions
|
|
enabled, and
|
|
<li> the attacker is able to inject arbitrary SQL.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
We are not aware of any applications that are vulnerable to
|
|
this problem. On the other hand, we do not know about
|
|
every application that uses SQLite.
|
|
If your application allows unauthenticated users on the internet
|
|
(and hence potential attackers) to run arbitrary SQL and if
|
|
you build SQLite with any of the optional extensions enabled,
|
|
then you should take this upgrade at your earliest opportunity.
|
|
<p>

|
|
in internet-facing applications, see the our

|
|
Version 3.27.2 is a patch release that
|
|
fixes a two bugs and various documentation
|
|
errors found in the version 3.27.1. The
|
|
changes from version 3.27.1 and 3.27.0 are

minimal.

|

After release 3.27.0 was tagged, but before the build could

|
be completed and uploaded, a
|
|
<a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/4e8e4857d32d401f">long-standing bug</a>
|
|
in the query optimizer was reported via System.Data.SQLite.
|
|
Since people will be upgrading anyhow, we decided
|
|
publish the fix for this newly discovered problems right
|
|
away. Hence, 3.27.1 was released less than 24 hours after
|
|
3.27.0.
|
|
<p>
|
|
It would have been better if the query optimizer bug had come to
|
|
our attention one day earlier, so that we could have incorporated

a fix into 3.27.0, but sometimes that's the way things go.

|
|
SQLite <a href="releaselog/3_25_2.html">version 3.25.2</a> is another patch against 3.25.0 that fixes still
|
|
more problems associated with the new <a href="windowfunctions.html">window function</a> feature and the

<a href="lang_altertable.html">ALTER TABLE</a> enhancements. Of particular note is the new
|
|
<a href="pragma.html#pragma_legacy_alter_table">PRAGMA legacy_alter_table=ON</a> command, which causes the ALTER TABLE RENAME
|
|
command to behave in the same goofy way that it did before the enhancements
|
|
found in version 3.25.0 → references to renamed tables that are inside
|
|
the bodies of triggers and views are not updated. The legacy behavior is

arguably a bug, but some programs depend on the older buggy behavior. The

3.25.2 release also contains a fix to <a href="windowfunctions.html">window function</a> processing for

SQLite <a href="releaselog/3_25_0.html">version 3.25.0</a> is a regularly scheduled maintenance release.
|
|
Two big enhancements in this release:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
Support for <a href="windowfunctions.html">window functions</a> was added, using the PostgreSQL documentation
|
|
as the baseline.
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
The <a href="lang_altertable.html">ALTER TABLE</a> command was enhanced to support renaming of columns, and
|
|
so that column and table renames are propagated into trigger bodies and views.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>In addition, there are various performance enhancements and minor fixes.
|
|
<p>One bug of note is
|
|
<a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/9936b2fa443fec03ff25">ticket 9936b2fa443fec</a>
|
|
which describes a hard-to-reach condition where the ORDER BY LIMIT
|
|
optimization might cause an infinite loop during query evaluation.
|
|
This ticket raised a lot of
|
|
concern on
|
|
<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17964243">HackerNews</a> and
|
|
<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/9ezy8c/serious_bug_causing_infinite_loop_in_some_queries/">Reddit</a>,
|
|
probably due to my choice of the ticket
|
|
title. "Infinite Loop" sounds scary. But I argue that the bug isn't really
|
|
all that bad in that it is very difficult to reach, will show up during
|
|
testing (rather than magically appearing after a product is
|
|
deployed), does not cause any data loss, and does not return an
|
|
incorrect result. It was an important error, but not nearly as dire
|
|
as many people interpreted it to be. And, in any event, it is fixed now.

The bug was introduced in <a href="releaselog/3_16_0.html">version 3.16.0</a>
|

(2017-01-02). Though the bug is obscure and rarely

|
|
One of the new query planner optimizations in the 3.19.0 release contained
|
|
bugs. The 3.19.1 patch release fixes them.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Beginning with 3.19.0, subqueries and views on the right-hand side of
|
|
a LEFT JOIN operator could sometimes be
|
|
<a href="https://sqlite.org/optoverview.html#flattening">flattened</a> into the
|
|
main query. The new optimization worked well for all of the test cases
|
|
that the developers devised, and for millions of legacy test cases, but
|
|
once 3.19.0 was released, users found some other cases where the optimization
|
|
failed. Ticket
|
|
<a href="https://sqlite.org/src/info/cad1ab4cb7b0fc344">cad1ab4cb7b0fc344</a> contains
|
|
examples.
|
|
<p>
|
|
These problems exist only in 3.19.0. Users of SQLite 3.19.0 should
|
|
upgrade, but users of all prior versions of SQLite are safe.

SQLite <a href="releaselog/3_19_0.html">version 3.19.0</a> is a regularly scheduled maintenance release.

<p>

The emphasis on this release is improvements to the query planner.

There are also some obscure bug fixes. There is no reason to upgrade

SQLite <a href="releaselog/3_18_0.html">version 3.18.0</a> is a regularly scheduled maintenance release.
|
|
<p>
|
|
This release features an initial implementation the
|
|
"<a href="pragma.html#pragma_optimize">PRAGMA optimize</a>" command. This command can now be used to cause
|
|
<a href="lang_analyze.html">ANALYZE</a> to be run on an as-needed basis. Applications should invoke
|
|
"PRAGMA optimize" just before closing the <a href="c3ref/sqlite3.html">database connection</a>.
|
|
The "PRAGMA optimize" statement will likely be enhanced to do other
|
|
kinds of automated database maintenance in future releases.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <a href="https://www.fossil-scm.org/">Fossil</a> version control system that is
|
|
used to manage the SQLite project has been upgraded to use SHA3-256 hashes
|
|
instead of SHA1. Therefore, the version identifications for SQLite now
|

show a 64-hex-digit SHA3-256 hash rather than the 40-hex-digit SHA1 hash.

SQLite <a href="releaselog/3_17_0.html">version 3.17.0</a> is a regularly scheduled maintenance release.
|

<p>

Most of the changes in this release are performance optimizations.
|
|
Optimizations to the <a href="rtree.html">R-Tree extension</a> are especially noticeable.
|
|
<p>
|
|
In this release, the default size of the
|
|
<a href="malloc.html#lookaside">lookaside buffer</a> allocated for each database connection
|
|
is increased from 64,000 to 120,000 bytes. This provides improved
|
|
performance on many common workloads in exchange for a small increase
|
|
in memory usage.
|
|
Applications that value a small memory footprint over raw speed
|
|
can change the lookaside buffer size back to its old value (or to zero)
|
|
using the <a href="compile.html#default_lookaside">SQLITE_DEFAULT_LOOKASIDE</a> compile-time option, or the
|
|
<a href="c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfiglookaside">sqlite3_config(SQLITE_CONFIG_LOOKASIDE)</a>

The 3.15.0 release uses about 7% fewer CPU cycles than 3.14.2.

<p>Yikes! The 3.12.0 and 3.12.1 releases contain a backwards compatibility bug!

Tables that declare a column with type <tt>"INTEGER" PRIMARY KEY</tt>

(where the datatype name INTEGER is quoted) generate an incompatible

database file. The mistake came about because the developers have never

of that capability nor any tests. (There are tests now, though, of course.)

Instances of quoting the datatype name are probably infrequent in the wild,
