<li>Reactivated the VACUUM command that reclaims unused disk space in 
    a database file.</li>
<li>Added the ATTACH and DETACH commands to allow interacting with multiple
    database files at the same time.</li>
<li>Added support for TEMP triggers and indices.</li>
<li>Added support for in-memory databases.</li>
<li>Removed the experimental sqlite_open_aux_file().  Its function is
    subsumed in the new ATTACH command.</li>
<li>The precedence order for ON CONFLICT clauses was changed so that
    ON CONFLICT clauses on BEGIN statements have a higher precedence than
    ON CONFLICT clauses on constraints.
<li>Many, many bug fixes and compatibility enhancements.</li>

website.  You can also access a detailed

<p>Complete source code and precompiled binaries for the latest release are
<a href="download.html">available for download</a> on this site.  You
can also obtain the latest changes by anonymous CVS access:
<blockquote><pre>
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.hwaci.com:/home/cvs/sqlite login

................................................................................
for SQLite change, it means that the underlying file format
has changed.  Usually these changes are backwards compatible.
See <a href="formatchng.html">formatchng.html</a>
for additional information.

puts {<h2>Major Database File Format Change - Version 2.6.0 - 2002 July 17</h2>

<p>Beginning with version 2.6.0, the SQLite database file format changed
in an incompatible way.  If you open a database file from version 2.5.6
or earlier with version 2.6.0 or later of the library, then the file format
will be converted automatically.  This is an irreversible operation.  Once
the conversion occurs, you will no longer be able to access the database
file from older versions of the library.  If the database is large, the
conversion might take some time. (Allow 1 to 2 seconds per megabyte
of database under Linux.) If the database is read-only,
the conversion cannot occur and the attempt to open the database will
fail.
It is suggested that you make backup copies of older database files
before attempting to open them with version 2.6.0 or later of the library.</p>
}

puts {<h2>Documentation</h2>

<p>The following documentation is currently available:</p>

<p><ul>
<li>A <a href="quickstart.html">Quick Start</a> guide to using SQLite in
    5 minutes or less.</li>
................................................................................
    how the library is put together.</li>
<li>A description of the <a href="opcode.html">virtual machine</a> that
    SQLite uses to access the database.</li>
<li>A description of the

<li>A <a href="speed.html">speed comparison</a> between SQLite, PostgreSQL,
    and MySQL.</li>

<p>The SQLite source code is 30% comment.  These comments are
another important source of information. </p>
