39 bumping the major version number.</li>

drh6f63c252001-04-05 16:25:53 +0000[diff] [blame]70<li>The library now assumes data is stored as UTF-8 if the --enable-utf8
71 option is given to configure. The default behavior is to assume
72 iso8859-x, as it has always done. This only makes a difference for
73 LIKE and GLOB operators and the LENGTH and SUBSTR functions.</li>
74<li>If the library is not configured for UTF-8 and the Tcl library
75 is one of the newer ones that uses UTF-8 internally,
76 then a conversion from UTF-8 to iso8859 and
drh297ecf12001-04-05 15:57:13 +0000[diff] [blame]77 back again is done inside the TCL interface.</li>

81<li>Added limited support for transactions. At this point, transactions
82 will do table locking on the GDBM backend. There is no support (yet)
83 for rollback or atomic commit.</li>
84<li>Added special column names ROWID, OID, and _ROWID_ that refer to the
85 unique random integer key associated with every row of every table.</li>
86<li>Additional tests added to the regression suite to cover the new ROWID
87 feature and the TCL interface bugs mentioned below.</li>

94<li>When doing DELETE and UPDATE, the library used to write the record
95 numbers of records to be deleted or updated into a temporary file.
96 This is changed so that the record numbers are held in memory.</li>
97<li>The DELETE command without a WHILE clause just removes the database
98 files from the disk, rather than going through and deleting record
99 by record.</li>

109 load and processor speed and
110 to warn the user that a failure of one of those (rare) tests does
111 not necessarily mean the library is malfunctioning. No changes to
112 code.

337 returns the number of database "Fetch" operations that have occurred.
338 This function is designed for use in test scripts to verify that
339 queries are efficient and appropriately optimized. Fcnt() has no other
340 useful purpose, as far as I know.</li>
