<h2>SQLite Release 3.40.1 On 2022-12-28</h2><p><b>Changes in version 3.40.0 (2022-11-16):</b></p>
<p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li value='1'> 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.
</ol>
<p><b>Additional changes in version 3.40.1 (2022-12-28):</b></p>
<p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li value='14'> Fix the <a href="../cli.html#safemode">--safe command-line option</a> to the <a href="../cli.html">CLI</a> such that it correctly disallows the
     use of SQL functions like writefile() that can cause harmful side-effects.
<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.
<p><b>Hashes:</b>
<li>SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: 2022-12-28 14:03:47 df5c253c0b3dd24916e4ec7cf77d3db5294cc9fd45ae7b9c5e82ad8197f38a24
<li>SHA3-256 for sqlite3.c: 4d6800e9032ff349376fe612e422b49ba5eb4e378fac0b3e405235d09dd366ab
