+<h2>SQLite Release 3.21.0 On 2017-10-24</h2><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li> Take advantage of the atomic-write capabilities in the
+ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS">F2FS filesystem</a> when available, for
+ greatly reduced transaction overhead. This currently requires the
+ <a href="../compile.html#enable_batch_atomic_write">SQLITE_ENABLE_BATCH_ATOMIC_WRITE</a> compile-time option.
+<li> Allow <a href="../lang_attach.html">ATTACH</a> and <a href="../lang_detach.html">DETACH</a> commands to work inside of a transaction.
+<li> Allow <a href="../vtab.html#worid">WITHOUT ROWID virtual tables</a> to be writable if the PRIMARY KEY
+ contains exactly one column.
+<li> The "fsync()" that occurs after the header is written in a WAL reset
+ now uses the sync settings for checkpoints. This means it will use a
+ "fullfsync" on macs if <a href="../pragma.html#pragma_checkpoint_fullfsync">PRAGMA checkpoint_fullfsync</a> set on.
+<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
+ modifications, the last four characters of the version hash are shown as
+ "alt1" or "alt2". The objective is to detect accidental and/or careless
+ edits. A forger can subvert this feature.
+<li> Improved de-quoting of column names for <a href="../lang_createtable.html#createtabas">CREATE TABLE AS</a> statements with
+ an aggregate query on the right-hand side.
+<li> Fewer "stat()" system calls issued by the unix VFS.
+<li> Enhanced the <a href="../optoverview.html#like_opt">LIKE optimization</a> so that it works with an <a href="../lang_expr.html#like">ESCAPE</a> clause.
+<li> Enhanced <a href="../pragma.html#pragma_integrity_check">PRAGMA integrity_check</a> and <a href="../pragma.html#pragma_quick_check">PRAGMA quick_check</a> to detect obscure
+ row corruption that they were formerly missing. Also update both pragmas
+ so that they return error text rather than SQLITE_CORRUPT when encountering
+ corruption in <a href="../fileformat2.html#record_format">records</a>.
+<li> The query planner now prefers to implement FROM-clause subqueries using
+ <a href="../optoverview.html#coroutines">co-routines</a> rather using the <a href="../optoverview.html#flattening">query flattener</a> optimization. Support for
+ the use of co-routines for subqueries may no longer be disabled.
+<li> Pass information about !=, IS, IS NOT, NOT NULL, and IS NULL constraints
+ into the <a href="../vtab.html#xbestindex">xBestIndex</a> method of virtual tables.
+<li> Enhanced the <a href="../csv.html">CSV virtual table</a> so that it accepts the last row of
+ input if the final new-line character is missing.
+<li> Remove the rarely-used "scratch" memory allocator. Replace it with the
+ <a href="../c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfigsmallmalloc">SQLITE_CONFIG_SMALL_MALLOC</a> configuration setting that gives SQLite
+ a hint that large memory allocations should be avoided when possible.
+<li> Added the
+ <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/file/ext/misc/unionvtab.c">swarm virtual table</a>
+ to the existing union virtual table extension.
+<li> Added the
+ <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/file/src/dbpage.c">sqlite_dbpage virtual table</a>
+ for providing direct access to pages
+ of the database file. The source code is built into the <a href="../amalgamation.html">amalgamation</a> and
+ is activated using the <a href="../compile.html#enable_dbpage_vtab">-DSQLITE_ENABLE_DBPAGE_VTAB</a> compile-time option.
+<li> Add a new type of fts5vocab virtual table - "instance" - that provides
+ direct access to an FTS5 full-text index at the lowest possible level.
+<li> Remove a call to rand_s() in the Windows VFS since it was causing problems
+ in Firefox on some older laptops.
+<li> The <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/finfo?name=src/shell.c">src/shell.c</a> source code
+ to the <a href="../cli.html">command-line shell</a> is no longer under version control. That file
+ is now generated as part of the build process.
+<li> Miscellaneous <a href="../cpu.html#microopt">microoptimizations</a> reduce CPU usage by about 2.1%.
+<li> Bug fixes:
+<ol type="a">
+ <li> Fix a faulty assert() statement discovered by OSSFuzz.
+ Ticket <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/info/cb91bf4290c211d">cb91bf4290c211d</a>
+ <li> Fix an obscure memory leak in <a href="../c3ref/result_blob.html">sqlite3_result_pointer()</a>.
+ Ticket <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/info/7486aa54b968e9b">7486aa54b968e9b</a>
+ <li> Avoid a possible use-after-free error by deferring schema resets until
+ after the query planner has finished running.
+ Ticket <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/info/be436a7f4587ce5">be436a7f4587ce5</a>
+ <li> Only use indexes-on-expressions to optimize ORDER BY or GROUP BY if
+ the COLLATE is correct.
+ Ticket <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/info/e20dd54ab0e4383">e20dd54ab0e4383</a>
+ <li> Fix an assertion fault that was coming up when the expression in an
+ index-on-expressions is really a constant.
+ Ticket <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/info/aa98619ad08ddca">aa98619ad08ddca</a>
+ <li> Fix an assertion fault that could occur following
+ <a href="../pragma.html#pragma_reverse_unordered_selects">PRAGMA reverse_unordered_selects</a>.
+ Ticket <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/info/cb91bf4290c211d">cb91bf4290c211d</a>
+ <li> Fix a segfault that can occur for queries that use table-valued functions
+ in an IN or EXISTS subquery.
+ Ticket <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/info/b899b6042f97f5">b899b6042f97f5</a>
+ <li> Fix a potential integer overflow problem when compiling a particular
+ horrendous common table expression. This was another problem discovered
+ by OSSFuzz. Check-in <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/info/6ee8cb6ae5">6ee8cb6ae5</a>.
+ <li> Fix a potential out-of-bound read when querying a corrupt database file,
+ a problem detected by Natalie Silvanovich of Google Project Zero.
+ Check-in <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/info/04925dee41a21f">04925dee41a21f</a>.
