21<li>Fix the locking mechanism yet again to prevent
22 <b>sqlite_exec()</b> from returning SQLITE_PROTOCOL
23 unnecessarily. This time the bug was a race condition in
24 the locking code. This change effects both POSIX and Windows users.</li>

29 that sometimes causes <b>sqlite_exec()</b> to return SQLITE_PROTOCOL
30 unnecessarily. This time the bug was
31 in the POSIX locking code and should not effect windows users.</li>

146 newlines anywhere in the data. This is an old bug that was carried
147 forward from version 1.0. To fix it, the ".dump" output no longer
148 uses the COPY command. It instead generates INSERT statements.</li>
149<li>Extend the expression syntax to support "expr NOT NULL" (with a
150 space between the "NOT" and the "NULL") in addition to "expr NOTNULL"
151 (with no space).</li>
