<li>Fix for a bug in the ORDER BY optimizer that was introduced in
    [version 3.7.15] which would sometimes optimize out the sorting step
    when in fact the sort was required.
    Ticket [http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/a179fe7465 | a179fe7465]
<li>Fix a long-standing bug in the [CAST expression] that would recognize UTF16
    characters as digits even if their most-significant-byte was not zero.
    Ticket [http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/689137afb6da41 | 689137afb6da41].
<li>Fix a bug in the NEAR operator of [FTS3] when applied to subfields.
    Ticket [http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/38b1ae018f | 38b1ae018f].
<li>Fix a long-standing bug in the storage engine that would (very rarely)
    cause a spurious report of an SQLITE_CORRUPT error but which was otherwise
    harmless.
    Ticket [http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/6bfb98dfc0c | 6bfb98dfc0c].
<li>Fixed lots of spelling errors in the source-code comments
}

chng {2013-03-18 (3.7.16)} {
<li>Added the [PRAGMA foreign_key_check] command.
<li>Added new extended error codes for all SQLITE_CONSTRAINT errors
<li>Added the SQLITE_READONLY_ROLLBACK extended error code for when a database
    cannot be opened because it needs rollback recovery but is read-only.
<li>Added SQL functions [unicode(A)] and [char(X1,...,XN)].

newsitem {2013-Apr-03} {Release 3.7.16.1} {
  SQLite [version 3.7.16.1] is a bug fix release that fixes a few problems
  that were present in the previous releases.

  The primary motivation for version 3.7.16.1 is to fix a bug in the
  query optimizer that was introduced as part of [version 3.7.15].  The
  query optimizer was being a little overzealous in optimizing out some
  ORDER BY clauses, which resulted in sorting being omitted on occasions
  where sorting is required to get the correct answer.  See
  ticket [http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/a179fe7465 | a179fe7465] for
  details.

  In addition to the ORDER BY fix, several other patches to fix obscure
  (and mostly harmless) bugs and to fix spelling errors in source code
  comments are also included in this release.
}

newsitem {2013-Mar-18} {Release 3.7.16} {
