* Fri Nov 03 2023 Jan Engelhardt - Update to release 3.44.0
* Aggregate functions can now include an ORDER BY clause after their last parameter. The arguments to the function are processed in the order specified. This can be important for functions like string_agg() and json_group_array().
* Add support for the concat() and concat_ws() scalar SQL functions, compatible with PostgreSQL, SQLServer, and MySQL.
* Add support for the string_agg() aggregate SQL function, compatible with PostgreSQL and SQLServer.
* New conversion letters on the strftime() SQL function: %e %F %I %k %l %p %P %R %T %u
* Add new C-language APIs: sqlite3_get_clientdata() and sqlite3_set_clientdata().
* Many errors associated with CREATE TABLE are now raised when the CREATE TABLE statement itself is run, rather than being deferred until the first time the table is actually used.
* Thu Oct 19 2023 Reinhard Max - sqlite3-rtree-i686.patch: temporary build fix for 32-bit x86.
* Tue Oct 10 2023 Reinhard Max - Update to: 3.43.2:
* Fix a couple of obscure UAF errors and an obscure memory leak.
* Omit the use of the sprintf() function from the standard library in the CLI, as this now generates warnings on some platforms.
* Avoid conversion of a double into unsigned long long integer, as some platforms do not do such conversions correctly.
* Mon Sep 11 2023 Reinhard Max - Update to: 3.43.1
* Fix a regression in the way that the sum(), avg(), and total() aggregate functions handle infinities.
* Fix a bug in the json_array_length() function that occurs when the argument comes directly from json_remove().
* Fix the omit-unused-subquery-columns optimization (introduced in in version 3.42.0) so that it works correctly if the subquery is a compound where one arm is DISTINCT and the other is not.
* Sat Aug 26 2023 Andrea Manzini - Update to 3.43.0:
* Add support for Contentless-Delete FTS5 Indexes. This is a variety of FTS5 full-text search index that omits storing the content that is being indexed while also allowing records to be deleted.
* Enhancements to the date and time functions: + Added new time shift modifiers of the form ±YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS. + Added the timediff() SQL function.
* Added the octet_length(X) SQL function.
* Added the sqlite3_stmt_explain() API.
* Query planner enhancements: + Generalize the LEFT JOIN strength reduction optimization so that it works for RIGHT and FULL JOINs as well. Rename it to OUTER JOIN strength reduction. + Enhance the theorem prover in the OUTER JOIN strength reduction optimization so that it returns fewer false-negatives.
* Enhancements to the decimal extension: + New function decimal_pow2(N) returns the N-th power of 2 for integer N between -20000 and +20000. + New function decimal_exp(X) works like decimal(X) except that it returns the result in exponential notation - with a \"e+NN\" at the end. + If X is a floating-point value, then the decimal(X) function now does a full expansion of that value into its exact decimal equivalent.
* Performance enhancements to JSON processing results in a 2x performance improvement for some kinds of processing on large JSON strings.
* The VFS for unix now assumes that the nanosleep() system call is available unless compiled with -DHAVE_NANOSLEEP=0.
* Wed May 17 2023 Reinhard Max - Update to 3.42.0:
* Add the FTS5 secure-delete command. This option causes all forensic traces to be removed from the FTS5 inverted index when content is deleted.
* Enhance the JSON SQL functions to support JSON5 extensions.
* The SQLITE_CONFIG_LOG and SQLITE_CONFIG_PCACHE_HDRSZ calls to sqlite3_config() are now allowed to occur after sqlite3_initialize().
* New sqlite3_db_config() options: SQLITE_DBCONFIG_STMT_SCANSTATUS and SQLITE_DBCONFIG_REVERSE_SCANORDER.
* Query planner improvements.
* Add the --unsafe-testing command-line option.
* Allow commands \".log on\" and \".log off\", even in --safe mode.
* \"--\" as a command-line argument means all subsequent arguments that start with \"-\" are interpreted as normal non-option argument.
* Magic parameters \":inf\" and \":nan\" bind to floating point literals Infinity and NaN, respectively.
* Add the ability for application-defined SQL functions to have the same name as join keywords: CROSS, FULL, INNER, LEFT, NATURAL, OUTER, or RIGHT.
* Enhancements to PRAGMA integrity_check
* Allow the session extension to be configured to capture changes from tables that lack an explicit ROWID.
* Added the subsecond modifier to the date and time functions.
* Negative values passed into sqlite3_sleep() are henceforth interpreted as 0.
* The maximum recursion depth for JSON arrays and objects is lowered from 2000 to 1000.
* Extended the built-in printf() function so the comma option now works with floating-point conversions in addition to integer conversions.
* Miscellaneous bug fixes and performance optimizations.
* Wed Mar 22 2023 Reinhard Max - Update to 3.41.2:

* Thu Apr 28 2022 Paolo Stivanin - update to 3.38.3:
* Fix a case of the query planner be overly aggressive with optimizing automatic-index and Bloom-filter construction, using inappropriate ON clause terms to restrict the size of the automatic-index or Bloom filter, and resulting in missing rows in the output.

* Added the PRAGMA table_list statement.
* Add the .connection command, allowing the CLI to keep multiple database connections open at the same time.
* Add the --safe command-line option that disables dot-commands and SQL statements that might cause side-effects that extend beyond the single database file named on the command-line.
* CLI: Performance improvements when reading SQL statements that span many lines.
* Added the sqlite3_autovacuum_pages() interface.
* The sqlite3_deserialize() does not and has never worked for the TEMP database. That limitation is now noted in the documentation.
* The query planner now omits ORDER BY clauses on subqueries and views if removing those clauses does not change the semantics of the query.
* The generate_series table-valued function extension is modified so that the first parameter (\"START\") is now required. This is done as a way to demonstrate how to write table-valued functions with required parameters. The legacy behavior is available using the -DZERO_ARGUMENT_GENERATE_SERIES compile-time option.
* Added new sqlite3_changes64() and sqlite3_total_changes64() interfaces.
* Added the SQLITE_OPEN_EXRESCODE flag option to sqlite3_open_v2().

* Improvement to the EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN output to make it easier to understand.
* Byte-order marks at the start of a token are skipped as if they were whitespace.
* An error is raised on any attempt to access the rowid of a VIEW or subquery. Formerly, the rowid of a VIEW would be indeterminate and often would be NULL. The -DSQLITE_ALLOW_ROWID_IN_VIEW compile-time option is available to restore the legacy behavior for applications that need it.
* The sqlite3_deserialize() and sqlite3_serialize() interfaces are now enabled by default. The -DSQLITE_ENABLE_DESERIALIZE compile-time option is no longer required. Instead, there is a new -DSQLITE_OMIT_DESERIALIZE compile-time option to omit those interfaces.
* The \"memdb\" VFS now allows the same in-memory database to be shared among multiple database connections in the same process as long as the database name begins with \"/\".
* Back out the EXISTS-to-IN optimization (item 8b in the SQLite 3.35.0 change log) as it was found to slow down queries more often than speed them up.
* Improve the constant-propagation optimization so that it works on non-join queries.
* The REGEXP extension is now included in CLI builds.

* Sat Mar 27 2021 Andreas Stieger - SQLite 3.35.3:
* Enhance the OP_OpenDup opcode of the bytecode engine so that it works even if the cursor being duplicated itself came from OP_OpenDup
* When materializing correlated common table expressions, do so separately for each use case, as that is required for correctness. This fixes a problem that was introduced by the MATERIALIZED hint enhancement.
* Fix a problem in the filename normalizer of the unix VFS
* Fix the \"box\" output mode in the CLI so that it works with statements that returns one or more rows of zero columns (such as PRAGMA incremental_vacuum)
* Improvements to error messages generated by faulty common table expressions
* Fix some incorrect assert() statements
* Fix to the SELECT statement syntax diagram so that the FROM clause syntax is shown correctly
* Fix the EBCDIC character classifier so that it understands newlines as whitespace
* Improvements the xBestIndex method in the implementation of the (unsupported) wholenumber virtual table extension so that it does a better job of convincing the query planner to avoid trying to materialize a table with an infinite number of rows
* Fri Mar 19 2021 Martin Liška - Fix typo in macro definition.
* Wed Mar 17 2021 Andreas Stieger - SQLite 3.35.2:
* Fix a problem in the appendvfs.c extension that was introduced into version 3.35.0.
* Ensure that date/time functions with no arguments (which generate responses that depend on the current time) are treated as non-deterministic functions.
* Fix a problem in the sqldiff utility program having to do with unusual whitespace characters in a virtual table definition.
* Limit the new UNION ALL optimization described by item 8c in the 3.35.0 release so that it does not try to make too many new subqueries.- include changes from 3.35.1:
* Fix a bug in the new DROP COLUMN feature when used on columns that are indexed and that are quoted in the index definition.
* Improve the built-in documentation for the .dump command in the CLI.
* Mon Mar 15 2021 Dirk Müller - update to 3.35.0:
* Added built-in SQL math functions(). (Requires the -DSQLITE_ENABLE_MATH_FUNCTIONS compile-time option.)

* Generalize UPSERT:
* Allow multiple ON CONFLICT clauses that are evaluated in order,
* The final ON CONFLICT clause may omit the conflict target and yet still use DO UPDATE.
* Add support for the RETURNING clause on DELETE, INSERT, and UPDATE statements.
* Use less memory when running VACUUM on databases containing very large TEXT or BLOB values. It is no longer necessary to hold the entire TEXT or BLOB in memory all at once.
* Add support for the MATERIALIZED and NOT MATERIALIZED hints when specifying common table expressions. The default behavior was formerly NOT MATERIALIZED, but is now changed to MATERIALIZED for CTEs that are used more than once.
* The SQLITE_DBCONFIG_ENABLE_TRIGGER and SQLITE_DBCONFIG_ENABLE_VIEW settings are modified so that they only control triggers and views in the main database schema or in attached database schemas and not in the TEMP schema. TEMP triggers and views are always allowed.
* Query planner/optimizer improvements
* Enhance the \".stats\" command to accept new arguments \"stmt\" and \"vmstep\", causing prepare statement statistics and only the virtual-machine step count to be shown, respectively.
* Add the \".filectrl data_version\" command.
* Enhance the \".once\" and \".output\" commands so that if the destination argument begins with \"|\" (indicating that output is redirected into a pipe) then the argument does not need to be quoted.
* Fix a bug in the IN-operator optimization of version 3.33.0 that can cause an incorrect answer.
* Fix incorrect answers from the LIKE operator if the pattern ends with \"%\" and there is an \"ESCAPE \'_\'\" clause.
* Thu Jan 21 2021 Andreas Stieger - SQLite 3.34.1:
* Fix a potential use-after-free bug when processing a a subquery with both a correlated WHERE clause and a \"HAVING 0\" clause and where the parent query is an aggregate (boo#1181261)
* Fix documentation typos
* Fix minor problems in extensions
