Many bugs found in last week's alpha release have now been fixed and

the library is running much faster again.
|
|
|
|
Database connections can now be moved between threads as long as the

|
connection holds no locks at the time it is moved. Thus the common

paradigm of maintaining a pool of database connections and handing

|
them off to transient worker threads is now supported.

Please help test this new feature.

design, and many other changes. The code passed a regression
|
|

The file format for version 3.3.0 has changed slightly to support

descending indices and

|
a more efficient encoding of boolean values. SQLite 3.3.0 will read and
|
|
write legacy databases created with any prior version of SQLite 3. But
|
|
databases created by version 3.3.0 will not be readable or writable
|

by earlier versions of the SQLite. The older file format can be

|
specified at compile-time for those rare cases where it is needed.

the F_FULLFSYNC ioctl() in OS-X by setting "PRAGMA synchronous=on" instead
