drha8b38d22001-11-01 14:41:34 +000031<li>Simplify the design of the VDBE by restricting the number of sorters
32 and lists to 1.
33 In practice, no more than one sorter and one list was every used anyhow.

43 We have been and continue to be memory leak free as long as
44 malloc() works.</li>
45<li>Changes to some test scripts so that they work on Windows in
46 addition to Unix.</li>

71 times too long before failing.</li>
72<li>Bug fix: an assertion was failing if the disk holding the database
73 file became full or stopped accepting writes for some other reason.
74 New tests were added to detect similar problems in the future.</li>

drhff0839c2001-10-09 12:39:24 +000082<li>Fix two bugs in the locking protocol. (One was masking the other.)</li>
drh382c0242001-10-06 16:33:02 +000083<li>Removed some unused "#include <unistd.h>" that were causing problems
84 for VC++.</li>
drhf57b3392001-10-08 13:22:32 +000085<li>Fixed <b>sqlite.h</b> so that it is usable from C++</li>
drh382c0242001-10-06 16:33:02 +000086<li>Added the FULL_COLUMN_NAMES pragma. When set to "ON", the names of

95 using compilers other than gcc.</li>
drh33048c02001-10-01 14:29:22 +000096<li>The ".dump" output from the shell does not work if there are embedded
97 newlines anywhere in the data. This is an old bug that was carried
98 forward from version 1.0. To fix it, the ".dump" output no longer
99 uses the COPY command. It instead generates INSERT statements.</li>
100<li>Extend the expression syntax to support "expr NOT NULL" (with a
101 space between the "NOT" and the "NULL") in addition to "expr NOTNULL"
102 (with no space).</li>

drhb19a2bc2001-09-16 00:13:26 +0000122<li>Initial release of version 2.0. The idea of renaming the library
123 to "SQLus" was abandoned in favor of keeping the "SQLite" name and
124 bumping the major version number.</li>
125<li>The pager and btree subsystems added back. They are now the only
126 available backend.</li>
127<li>The Dbbe abstraction and the GDBM and memory drivers were removed.</li>

151 files and libraries that match.</li>

drh6f63c252001-04-05 16:25:53 +0000155<li>The library now assumes data is stored as UTF-8 if the --enable-utf8
156 option is given to configure. The default behavior is to assume
157 iso8859-x, as it has always done. This only makes a difference for
158 LIKE and GLOB operators and the LENGTH and SUBSTR functions.</li>
159<li>If the library is not configured for UTF-8 and the Tcl library
160 is one of the newer ones that uses UTF-8 internally,
161 then a conversion from UTF-8 to iso8859 and
drh297ecf12001-04-05 15:57:13 +0000162 back again is done inside the TCL interface.</li>

drhc4a3c772001-04-04 11:48:57 +0000165chng {2001 Apr 4 (1.0.28)} {
166<li>Added limited support for transactions. At this point, transactions
167 will do table locking on the GDBM backend. There is no support (yet)
168 for rollback or atomic commit.</li>
169<li>Added special column names ROWID, OID, and _ROWID_ that refer to the
170 unique random integer key associated with every row of every table.</li>
171<li>Additional tests added to the regression suite to cover the new ROWID
172 feature and the TCL interface bugs mentioned below.</li>
drh960e8c62001-04-03 16:53:21 +0000173<li>Changes to the "lemon" parser generator to help it work better when

179<li>When doing DELETE and UPDATE, the library used to write the record
180 numbers of records to be deleted or updated into a temporary file.
181 This is changed so that the record numbers are held in memory.</li>
182<li>The DELETE command without a WHILE clause just removes the database
183 files from the disk, rather than going through and deleting record
184 by record.</li>
185}

193<li>Modify the test scripts to identify tests that depend on system
194 load and processor speed and
195 to warn the user that a failure of one of those (rare) tests does
196 not necessarily mean the library is malfunctioning. No changes to
197 code.

drhb8525d92001-03-14 12:54:11 +0000203 the UPDATE command to fail on systems where "malloc(0)" returns
drhb0729502001-03-14 12:35:57 +0000204 NULL. The problem does not appear Windows, Linux, or HPUX but does
205 cause the library to fail on QNX.

211 for figuring out where to put temporary files for a "memory:" database
212 was not working quite right.

223 some terms that could be satisfied using indices and other terms that
224 could not. Fixed.</li>

229 using a BTree file structure will use a separate CVS source tree. This
