SQLite Release 3.39.1 On 2022-07-13
Changes in version 3.39.0 (2022-06-25):
- Add (long overdue) support for RIGHT and FULL OUTER JOIN.
- Add new binary comparison operators IS NOT DISTINCT FROM and IS DISTINCT FROM that are equivalent to IS and IS NOT, respective, for compatibility with PostgreSQL and SQL standards.
- Add a new return code (value "3") from the sqlite3_vtab_distinct() interface that indicates a query that has both DISTINCT and ORDER BY clauses.
- Added the sqlite3_db_name() interface.
- The unix os interface resolves all symbolic links in database filenames to create a canonical name for the database before the file is opened.
- Defer materializing views until the materialization is actually needed, thus avoiding unnecessary work if the materialization turns out to never be used.
- The HAVING clause of a SELECT statement is now allowed on any aggregate query, even queries that do not have a GROUP BY clause.
- Many microoptimizations collectively reduce CPU cycles by about 2.3%.
Additional changes in version 3.39.1 (2022-07-13):
- Fix an incorrect result from a query that uses a view that contains a compound SELECT in which only one arm contains a RIGHT JOIN and where the view is not the first FROM clause term of the query that contains the view. forum post 174afeae5734d42d.
- Fix some harmless compiler warnings.
- Fix a long-standing problem with ALTER TABLE RENAME that can only arise if the sqlite3_limit(SQLITE_LIMIT_SQL_LENGTH) is set to a very small value.
- Fix a long-standing problem in FTS3 that can only arise when compiled with the SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_PARENTHESIS compile-time option.
- Fix the build so that is works when the SQLITE_DEBUG and SQLITE_OMIT_WINDOWFUNC compile-time options are both provided at the same time.
- Fix the initial-prefix optimization for the REGEXP extension so that it works correctly even if the prefix contains characters that require a 3-byte UTF8 encoding.
- Enhance the sqlite_stmt virtual table so that it buffers all of its output.
