newsitem {2004-Jun-18} {Version 3.0.0 (alpha) Released} {
The first alpha release of SQLite version 3.0 is available for
public review and comment. Version 3.0 enhances internationalization support
through the use of UTF-16 and user-defined text collating sequences.
BLOBs can now be stored directly, without encoding.
A new file format results in databases that are 25% smaller (depending
on content). The code is also a little faster. In spite of the many
new features, the library footprint is still less than 240KB
(x86, gcc -O1).
<a href="version3.html">Additional information</a>.
Our intent is to freeze the file format and API on 2004-Jul-01.
Users are encouraged to review and evaluate this alpha release carefully
and submit any feedback prior to that date.
The 2.8 series of SQLite will continue to be supported with bug
fixes for the foreseeable future.
}
