+<li> Fix a potential infinite loop in the <a href="malloc.html#memsys5">memsys5</a> alternative memory allocator.  This
+     bug was introduced by a performance optimization in version 3.39.0.
+<li> Various other obscure fixes.

+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_3_40_0"></a>
+<h3>2022-11-16 (3.40.0)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li> Add support for compiling <a href="https://sqlite.org/wasm">SQLite to WASM</a>
+     and running it in web browsers.  NB:  The WASM build and its interfaces
+     are considered "beta" and are subject to minor changes if the need
+     arises.  We anticipate finalizing the interface for the next release.
+<li> Add the <a href="recovery.html">recovery extension</a> that might be able to recover some content
+     from a corrupt database file.
+<li> Query planner enhancements:
+     <ol type="a">
+     <li> Recognize <a href="queryplanner.html#covidx">covering indexes</a> on tables with more than 63 columns where
+          columns beyond the 63rd column are used in the query and/or are
+          referenced by the index.
+     <li> Extract the values of expressions contained within <a href="expridx.html">expression indexes</a>
+          where practical, rather than recomputing the expression.
+     <li> The NOT NULL and IS NULL operators (and their equivalents) avoid
+          loading the content of large strings and BLOB values from disk.
+     <li> Avoid materializing a view on which a full scan is performed
+          exactly once.  Use and discard the rows of the view as they are computed.
+     <li> Allow flattening of a subquery that is the right-hand operand of
+          a LEFT JOIN in an aggregate query.
+     </ol>
+<li> A new typedef named <a href="c3ref/filename.html">sqlite3_filename</a> is added and used to represent
+     the name of a database file.  Various interfaces are
+     modified to use the new typedef instead of "char*".  This interface
+     change should be fully backwards compatible, though it might cause
+     (harmless) compiler warnings when rebuilding some legacy applications.
+<li> Add the <a href="c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_encoding()</a> interface.
+<li> Security enhancement: <a href="c3ref/c_dbconfig_defensive.html#sqlitedbconfigdefensive">SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE</a> is augmented to prohibit
+     changing the <a href="pragma.html#pragma_schema_version">schema_version</a>.  The schema_version
+     becomes read-only in defensive mode.
+<li> Enhancements to the <a href="pragma.html#pragma_integrity_check">PRAGMA integrity_check</a> statement:
+     <ol type="a">
+     <li> Columns in non-STRICT tables with TEXT affinity should not contain numeric values.
+     <li> Columns in non-STRICT tables with NUMERIC affinity should not
+          contain TEXT values that could be converted into numbers.
+     <li> Verify that the rows of a <a href="withoutrowid.html">WITHOUT ROWID</a> table are in the correct order.
+     </ol>
+<li> Enhance the <a href="lang_vacuum.html#vacuuminto">VACUUM INTO</a> statement so that it honors the
+     <a href="pragma.html#pragma_synchronous">PRAGMA synchronous</a> setting.
+<li> Enhance the <a href="c3ref/strglob.html">sqlite3_strglob()</a> and <a href="c3ref/strlike.html">sqlite3_strlike()</a> APIs so that they are able
+     to accept NULL pointers for their string parameters and still generate a sensible
+     result.
+<li> Provide the new <a href="compile.html#max_allocation_size">SQLITE_MAX_ALLOCATION_SIZE</a> compile-time option for limiting
+     the size of memory allocations.
+<li> Change the algorithm used by SQLite's built-in pseudo-random number generator (PRNG)
+     from RC4 to Chacha20.
+<li> Allow two or more indexes to have the same name as long as they are all in
+     separate schemas.
+<li> Miscellaneous performance optimizations result in about 1% fewer CPU cycles
+     used on typical workloads.

+<li> Query planner enhancements:

+  <li> The optimization that uses an index to quickly compute an

+       <a href="expridx.html">indexes on expressions</a>.
+  <li> The decision of whether to implement a FROM-clause subquery

+  <li> Added the <a href="cli.html#editfunc">edit() SQL function</a>.

+<li> The <a href="c3ref/libversion.html">sqlite3_sourceid()</a> function tries to detect if the source code has
+     been modified from what is checked into version control and if there are

+<li> Enhanced the <a href="csv.html">CSV virtual table</a> so that it accepts the last row of

+<li>Added the <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/file/ext/misc/sha1.c">sha1.c</a>

+<li>The <a href="compile.html#default_page_size">SQLITE_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE</a> is increased from 1024 to 4096.  
+    The <a href="compile.html#default_cache_size">SQLITE_DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE</a> is changed from 2000 to -2000 so

+<li>The query planner is able to optimize IN operators on <a href="vtab.html">virtual tables</a>
+    even if the <a href="vtab.html#xbestindex">xBestIndex</a> method does not set the

+<li>More efficient handling of <a href="appfunc.html">application-defined SQL functions</a>, especially
+    in cases where the application defines hundreds or thousands of 
+    custom functions.
+<li>The query planner considers the LIMIT clause when estimating the cost
+    of ORDER BY.
+<li>The configure script (on unix) automatically detects
+    pread() and pwrite() and sets compile-time options to use those OS
+    interfaces if they are available.
+<li>Reduce the amount of memory needed to hold the schema.
+<li>Other miscellaneous micro-optimizations for improved performance and reduced
+    memory usage.

+    <a href="foreignkeys.html#fk_actions">RESTRICT actions</a> on foreign key.
+<li>Added the <a href="c3ref/system_errno.html">sqlite3_system_errno()</a> interface.

+</ol></p>
+<h3>2001-09-20 (2.0-alpha-2)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Initial release of version 2.0.  The idea of renaming the library
+    to "SQLus" was abandoned in favor of keeping the "SQLite" name and
+    bumping the major version number.</li>
+<li>The pager and btree subsystems added back. They are now the only
+    available backend.</li>
+<li>The Dbbe abstraction and the GDBM and memory drivers were removed.</li>
+<li>Copyright on all code was disclaimed.  The library is now in the
+    public domain.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_32"></a>
+<h3>2001-07-23 (1.0.32)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Pager and btree subsystems removed.  These will be used in a follow-on
+    SQL server library named "SQLus".</li>
+<li>Add the ability to use quoted strings as table and column names in
+    expressions.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_31"></a>
+<h3>2001-04-15 (1.0.31)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Pager subsystem added but not yet used.</li>
+<li>More robust handling of out-of-memory errors.</li>
+<li>New tests added to the test suite.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_30"></a>
+<h3>2001-04-06 (1.0.30)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Remove the <b>sqlite_encoding</b> TCL variable that was introduced
+    in the previous version.</li>
+<li>Add options <b>-encoding</b> and <b>-tcl-uses-utf</b> to the
+    <b>sqlite</b> TCL command.</li>
+<li>Add tests to make sure that tclsqlite was compiled using Tcl header
+    files and libraries that match.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_29"></a>
+<h3>2001-04-05 (1.0.29)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>The library now assumes data is stored as UTF-8 if the --enable-utf8
+    option is given to configure.  The default behavior is to assume
+    iso8859-x, as it has always done.  This only makes a difference for
+    LIKE and GLOB operators and the LENGTH and SUBSTR functions.</li>
+<li>If the library is not configured for UTF-8 and the Tcl library
+    is one of the newer ones that uses UTF-8 internally,
+    then a conversion from UTF-8 to iso8859 and
+    back again is done inside the TCL interface.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_28"></a>
+<h3>2001-04-04 (1.0.28)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Added limited support for transactions.  At this point, transactions
+    will do table locking on the GDBM backend.  There is no support (yet)
+    for rollback or atomic commit.</li>
+<li>Added special column names ROWID, OID, and _ROWID_ that refer to the
+    unique random integer key associated with every row of every table.</li>
+<li>Additional tests added to the regression suite to cover the new ROWID
+    feature and the TCL interface bugs mentioned below.</li>
+<li>Changes to the <a href="lemon.html">Lemon parser generator</a> to help it work better when
+    compiled using MSVC.</li>
+<li>Bug fixes in the TCL interface identified by Oleg Oleinick.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_27"></a>
+<h3>2001-03-20 (1.0.27)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>When doing DELETE and UPDATE, the library used to write the record
+    numbers of records to be deleted or updated into a temporary file.
+    This is changed so that the record numbers are held in memory.</li>
+<li>The DELETE command without a WHILE clause just removes the database
+    files from the disk, rather than going through and deleting record
+    by record.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_26"></a>
+<h3>2001-03-20 (1.0.26)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>A serious bug fixed on Windows.  Windows users should upgrade.
+    No impact to Unix.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_25"></a>
+<h3>2001-03-15 (1.0.25)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Modify the test scripts to identify tests that depend on system
+    load and processor speed and
+    to warn the user that a failure of one of those (rare) tests does
+    not necessarily mean the library is malfunctioning.  No changes to
+    code.
+    </li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_24"></a>
+<h3>2001-03-14 (1.0.24)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Fix a bug which was causing
+    the UPDATE command to fail on systems where "malloc(0)" returns
+    NULL.  The problem does not appear on Windows, Linux, or HPUX but does 
+    cause the library to fail on QNX.
+    </li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_23"></a>
+<h3>2001-02-20 (1.0.23)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>An unrelated (and minor) bug from Mark Muranwski fixed.  The algorithm
+    for figuring out where to put temporary files for a "memory:" database
+    was not working quite right.
+    </li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_22"></a>
+<h3>2001-02-19 (1.0.22)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>The previous fix was not quite right.  This one seems to work better.
+    </li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_21"></a>
+<h3>2001-02-19 (1.0.21)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>The UPDATE statement was not working when the WHERE clause contained
+    some terms that could be satisfied using indices and other terms that
+    could not.  Fixed.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_20"></a>
+<h3>2001-02-11 (1.0.20)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Merge development changes into the main trunk.  Future work toward
+    using a BTree file structure will use a separate CVS source tree.  This
+    CVS tree will continue to support the GDBM version of SQLite only.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_19"></a>
+<h3>2001-02-06 (1.0.19)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Fix a strange (but valid) C declaration that was causing problems
+    for QNX.  No logical changes.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_18"></a>
+<h3>2001-01-04 (1.0.18)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Print the offending SQL statement when an error occurs.</li>
+<li>Do not require commas between constraints in CREATE TABLE statements.</li>
+<li>Added the "-echo" option to the shell.</li>
+<li>Changes to comments.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_17"></a>
+<h3>2000-12-10 (1.0.17)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Rewrote <b>sqlite_complete()</b> to make it faster.</li>
+<li>Minor tweaks to other code to make it run a little faster.</li>
+<li>Added new tests for <b>sqlite_complete()</b> and for memory leaks.</li>
+
+</ol></p>

+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_15"></a>
+<h3>2000-10-23 (1.0.15)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Documentation updates</li>
+<li>Some sanity checking code was removed from the inner loop of vdbe.c
+    to help the library to run a little faster.  The code is only
+    removed if you compile with -DNDEBUG.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_14"></a>
+<h3>2000-10-19 (1.0.14)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Added a "memory:" backend driver that stores its database in an
+    in-memory hash table.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_13"></a>
+<h3>2000-10-19 (1.0.13)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Break out the GDBM driver into a separate file in anticipation
+    to added new drivers.</li>
+<li>Allow the name of a database to be prefixed by the driver type.
+    For now, the only driver type is "gdbm:".</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_12"></a>
+<h3>2000-10-17 (1.0.12)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>

+    the '%q' format directive of the new
+    <b>sqlite_..._printf()</b> routines.</li>
+<li>Added the <b>sqlite_interrupt()</b> interface.</li>
+<li>In the shell, <b>sqlite_interrupt()</b> is invoked when the
+    user presses Control-C</li>
+<li>Fixed some instances where <b>sqlite_exec()</b> was
+    returning the wrong error code.</li>
+

+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_8"></a>
+<h3>2000-09-30 (1.0.8)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Begin writing documentation on the TCL interface.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-09-29 (Not Released)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>

+<li>Updated the documentation for due to the above change.</li>
+<li>Modified the <b>sqlite</b> shell to make use of the new
+    sqlite_get_table() API in order to print a list of tables
+    in multiple columns, similar to the way "ls" prints filenames.</li>
+<li>Modified the <b>sqlite</b> shell to print a semicolon at the
+    end of each CREATE statement in the output of the ".schema" command.</li>
+
+</ol></p>

+<li>Added functions <b>length()</b> and <b>substr()</b>.</li>
+<li>Fix a bug in the <b>sqlite</b> shell program that was causing

+    of data contained a NULL.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<a name="version_1_0_3"></a>

+<li>Added "busy" and "timeout" methods to the Tcl interface</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-08-03</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>

+<li>Better labels on column names of the result.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-07-28</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Added the <b>sqlite_busy_handler()</b> 
+    and <b>sqlite_busy_timeout()</b> interface.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-06-23</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Begin writing the <a href="vdbe.html">VDBE tutorial</a>.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-06-21</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Clean up comments and variable names.  Changes to documentation.
+    No functional changes to the code.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-06-19</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Column names in UPDATE statements were case sensitive.
+    This mistake has now been fixed.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-06-18</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Added the concatenate string operator (||)</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-06-12</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Added the fcnt() function to the SQL interpreter.  The fcnt() function
+    returns the number of database "Fetch" operations that have occurred.
+    This function is designed for use in test scripts to verify that
+    queries are efficient and appropriately optimized.  Fcnt() has no other
+    useful purpose, as far as I know.</li>
+<li>Added a bunch more tests that take advantage of the new fcnt() function.
+    The new tests did not uncover any new problems.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-06-08</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Added lots of new test cases</li>
+<li>Fix a few bugs discovered while adding test cases</li>
+<li>Begin adding lots of new documentation</li>
+
+</ol></p>

+<li>Added compound select operators: <B>UNION</b>, <b>UNION ALL</B>,
+<b>INTERSECT</b>, and <b>EXCEPT</b></li>
+<li>Added support for using <b>(SELECT ...)</b> within expressions</li>
+<li>Added support for <b>IN</b> and <b>BETWEEN</b> operators</li>
+<li>Added support for <b>GROUP BY</b> and <b>HAVING</b></li>
+<li>NULL values are now reported to the callback as a NULL pointer
+    rather than an empty string.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-06-03</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Added support for default values on columns of a table.</li>
+<li>Improved test coverage.  Fixed a few obscure bugs found by the
+improved tests.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-06-02</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>All database files to be modified by an UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE are 
+now locked before any changes are made to any files.  
+This makes it safe (I think) to access
+the same database simultaneously from multiple processes.</li>
+<li>The code appears stable so we are now calling it "beta".</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-06-01</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Better support for file locking so that two or more processes 
+(or threads)
+can access the same database simultaneously.  More work needed in
+this area, though.</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-05-31</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Added support for aggregate functions (Ex: <b>COUNT(*)</b>, <b>MIN(...)</b>)
+to the SELECT statement.</li>
+<li>Added support for <B>SELECT DISTINCT ...</B></li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-05-30</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Added the <b>LIKE</b> operator.</li>
+<li>Added a <b>GLOB</b> operator: similar to <B>LIKE</B> 
+but it uses Unix shell globbing wildcards instead of the '%' 
+and '_' wildcards of SQL.</li>
+<li>Added the <B>COPY</b> command patterned after 
+<a href="http://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a> so that SQLite
+can now read the output of the <b>pg_dump</b> database dump utility
+of PostgreSQL.</li>
+<li>Added a <B>VACUUM</B> command that calls the 
+<b>gdbm_reorganize()</b> function on the underlying database
+files.</li>
+<li>And many, many bug fixes...</li>
+
+</ol></p>
+<h3>2000-05-29</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li>Initial Public Release of Alpha code</li>
