+newsitem {2007-Jun-18} {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
+  <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=CorruptionFollowingBusyError">
+  CorruptionFollowingBusyError</a> and

+  <p>
+  This release also adds explicit <a href="limits.html">limits</a> 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.
+  </p>
+  There are also new features, including
+  <a href="capi3ref.html#sqlite3_blob_open">incremental BLOB I/O</a> and
+  <a href="pragma.html#pragma_incremental_vacuum">incremental vacuum</a>.

+  Version 3.3.7 includes support for loadable extensions and virtual

+  mostly to make available the minor bug fixes that have accumulated
+  since 3.3.6.  Upgrading is not necessary.  Do so only if you encounter

+  Many bugs found in last week's alpha release have now been fixed and
+  the library is running much faster again.
+
+  Database connections can now be moved between threads as long as the
+  connection holds no locks at the time it is moved.  Thus the common
+  paradigm of maintaining a pool of database connections and handing
+  them off to transient worker threads is now supported.
+  Please help test this new feature.
+  See <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=MultiThreading">

+  Version 3.3.0 adds support for CHECK constraints, DESC indices,
+  separate REAL and INTEGER column affinities, a new OS interface layer
+  design, and many other changes.  The code passed a regression
+  test but should still be considered alpha.  Please report any
+  problems.
+
+  The file format for version 3.3.0 has changed slightly to support
+  descending indices and
+  a more efficient encoding of boolean values.  SQLite 3.3.0 will read and
+  write legacy databases created with any prior version of SQLite 3.  But
+  databases created by version 3.3.0 will not be readable or writable

+  This version fixes a bug that can result in database
+  corruption if a VACUUM of a 1 gibibyte or larger database fails
+  (perhaps do to running out of disk space or an unexpected power loss)
+  and is later rolled back.
+  <p>
+  Also in this release:
+  The ORDER BY and GROUP BY processing was rewritten to use less memory.
+  Support for COUNT(DISTINCT) was added.  The LIKE operator can now be
+  used by the optimizer on columns with COLLATE NOCASE.

+  The new ADD COLUMN capability is made
+  possible by AOL developers supporting and embracing great

+
+  Version 3.2.0 also fixes an obscure but serious bug that was discovered
+  just prior to release.  If you have a multi-statement transaction and

+  might not work correctly.  See

+
+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
