chng {2007 February 13 (3.3.13)} {
<li>Add a "fragmentation" measurement in the output of sqlite3_analyzer.</li>
<li>Add the COLLATE operator used to explicitly set the collating sequence
used by an expression.  This feature is considered experimental pending
additional testing.</li>
<li>Allow up to 64 tables in a join - the old limit was 32.</li>
<li>Added two new experimental functions:
<a href="lang_expr.html#randomblobFunc">randomBlob()</a> and
<a href="lang_expr.html#hexFunc">hex()</a>.
Their intended use is to facilitate generating 
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUID">UUIDs</a>.</li>
<li>Fix a problem where
<a href="pragma.html#pragma_count_changes">PRAGMA count_changes</a> was
causing incorrect results for updates on tables with triggers</li>
<li>Fix a bug in the ORDER BY clause optimizer for joins where the
left-most table in the join is constrained by a UNIQUE index.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug in the "copy" method of the TCL interface.</li>
<li>Bug fixes in fts1 and fts2 modules.</li>
}

chng {2007 January 27 (3.3.12)} {
<li>Fix another bug in the IS NULL optimization that was added in
version 3.3.9.</li>
<li>Fix a assertion fault that occurred on deeply nested views.</li>
<li>Limit the amount of output that

newsitem {2007-Feb-13} {Version 3.3.13} {
  This version fixes a subtle bug in the ORDER BY optimizer that can 
  occur when using joins.  There are also a few minor enhancements.
  Upgrading is recommended.
}

newsitem {2007-Jan-27} {Version 3.3.12} {
  The first published build of the previous version used the wrong
  set of source files.  Consequently, many people downloaded a build
  that was labeled as "3.3.11" but was really 3.3.10.  Version 3.3.12
  is released to clear up the ambiguity.  A couple more bugs have
  also been fixed and <a href="pragma.html#pragma_integrity_check">
  PRAGMA integrity_check</a> has been enhanced.
}

newsitem {2007-Jan-22} {Version 3.3.11} {
  Version 3.3.11 fixes for a few more problems in version 3.3.9 that
  version 3.3.10 failed to catch.  Upgrading is recommended.
}

newsitem {2007-Jan-9} {Version 3.3.10} {
  Version 3.3.10 fixes several bugs that were introduced by the previous
  release.  Upgrading is recommended.

newsitem {2007-Jan-4} {Version 3.3.9} {
  Version 3.3.9 fixes bugs that can lead to database corruption under
  obscure and difficult to reproduce circumstances.  See
  <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=DatabaseCorruption">
  DatabaseCorruption</a> in the
  <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki">wiki</a> for details.
  This release also adds the new
  <a href="capi3ref.html#sqlite3_prepare_v2">sqlite3_prepare_v2()</a>
  API and includes important bug fixes in the command-line
  shell and enhancements to the query optimizer.  Upgrading is
  recommended.
}

newsitem {2006-Oct-9} {Version 3.3.8} {
  Version 3.3.8 adds support for full-text search using the 
  <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=FtsOne">FTS1
  module.</a>  There are also minor bug fixes.  Upgrade only if
  you want to try out the new full-text search capabilities or if
  you are having problems with 3.3.7.
}

newsitem {2006-Aug-12} {Version 3.3.7} {
  Version 3.3.7 includes support for loadable extensions and virtual
  tables.  But both features are still considered "beta" and their
  APIs are subject to change in a future release.  This release is
  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

  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.
