<h2>SQLite Release 3.6.0 On 2008 July 16 (3.6.0 beta)</h2><p><ul>
121
<li>Modifications to the <a href="../c3ref/vfs.html">virtual file system</a> interface
122
to support a wider range of embedded systems.
123
See <a href="../35to36.html">35to36.html</a> for additional information.
124
<font color="red">*** Potentially incompatible change ***</font></li>
125
<li>All C-preprocessor macros used to control compile-time options
126
now begin with the prefix "SQLITE_". This may require changes to
127
applications that compile SQLite using their own makefiles and with
128
custom compile-time options, hence we mark this as a
129
<font color="red">*** Potentially incompatible change ***</font></li>
130
<li>The SQLITE_MUTEX_APPDEF compile-time option is no longer supported.
131
Alternative mutex implementations can now be added at run-time using
132
the <a href="../c3ref/config.html">sqlite3_config()</a> interface with the <a href="../c3ref/c_config_getmalloc.html#sqliteconfigmutex">SQLITE_CONFIG_MUTEX</a> verb.
133
<font color="red">*** Potentially incompatible change ***</font></li>
134
<li>The handling of IN and NOT IN operators that contain a NULL on their
135
right-hand side expression is brought into compliance with the SQL
136
standard and with other SQL database engines. This is a bug fix,
137
but as it has the potential to break legacy applications that depend
138
on the older buggy behavior, we mark that as a
139
<font color="red">*** Potentially incompatible change ***</font></li>
140
<li>The result column names generated for compound subqueries have been
141
simplified to show only the name of the column of the original table and
142
omit the table name. This makes SQLite operate more like other SQL
143
database engines.</li>
144
<li>Added the <a href="../c3ref/config.html">sqlite3_config()</a> interface for doing run-time configuration
145
of the entire SQLite library.</li>
146
<li>Added the <a href="../c3ref/status.html">sqlite3_status()</a> interface used for querying run-time status
147
information about the overall SQLite library and its subsystems.</li>
148
<li>Added the <a href="../c3ref/initialize.html">sqlite3_initialize()</a> and <a href="../c3ref/initialize.html">sqlite3_shutdown()</a> interfaces.</li>
149
<li>The <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_NOMUTEX</a> option was added to <a href="../c3ref/open.html">sqlite3_open_v2()</a>.</li>
150
<li>Added the <a href="../pragma.html#pragma_page_count">PRAGMA page_count</a> command.</li>
151
<li>Added the <a href="../c3ref/next_stmt.html">sqlite3_next_stmt()</a> interface.</li>
152
<li>Added a new <a href="../rtree.html">R*Tree virtual table</a></li>
154
