drhc3a64ba2001-11-22 00:01:27 +000022<li>Fix a bug in the locking protocol.</li>
drhf5bf0a72001-11-23 00:24:12 +000023<li>Fix a bug that could (rarely) cause the database to become
24 unreadable after a DROP TABLE due to corruption to the SQLITE_MASTER
25 table.</li>
26<li>Change the code so that version 2.1.1 databases that were rendered
27 unreadable by the above bug can be read by this version of
28 the library even though the SQLITE_MASTER table is (slightly)
29 corrupted.</li>

62<li>Changes to some test scripts so that they work on Windows in
63 addition to Unix.</li>

drh382c0242001-10-06 16:33:02 +0000100<li>Removed some unused "#include <unistd.h>" that were causing problems
101 for VC++.</li>
drhf57b3392001-10-08 13:22:32 +0000102<li>Fixed <b>sqlite.h</b> so that it is usable from C++</li>

112 using compilers other than gcc.</li>

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

drhb19a2bc2001-09-16 00:13:26 +0000139<li>Initial release of version 2.0. The idea of renaming the library
140 to "SQLus" was abandoned in favor of keeping the "SQLite" name and
141 bumping the major version number.</li>
142<li>The pager and btree subsystems added back. They are now the only
143 available backend.</li>

drh6f63c252001-04-05 16:25:53 +0000172<li>The library now assumes data is stored as UTF-8 if the --enable-utf8
173 option is given to configure. The default behavior is to assume
174 iso8859-x, as it has always done. This only makes a difference for
175 LIKE and GLOB operators and the LENGTH and SUBSTR functions.</li>
176<li>If the library is not configured for UTF-8 and the Tcl library
177 is one of the newer ones that uses UTF-8 internally,
178 then a conversion from UTF-8 to iso8859 and
drh297ecf12001-04-05 15:57:13 +0000179 back again is done inside the TCL interface.</li>

183<li>Added limited support for transactions. At this point, transactions
184 will do table locking on the GDBM backend. There is no support (yet)
185 for rollback or atomic commit.</li>
186<li>Added special column names ROWID, OID, and _ROWID_ that refer to the
187 unique random integer key associated with every row of every table.</li>
188<li>Additional tests added to the regression suite to cover the new ROWID
189 feature and the TCL interface bugs mentioned below.</li>
drh960e8c62001-04-03 16:53:21 +0000190<li>Changes to the "lemon" parser generator to help it work better when

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

211 load and processor speed and
212 to warn the user that a failure of one of those (rare) tests does
213 not necessarily mean the library is malfunctioning. No changes to
214 code.

drhb0729502001-03-14 12:35:57 +0000221 NULL. The problem does not appear Windows, Linux, or HPUX but does
