<h2>SQLite Release 3.9.3 On 2016-04-01</h2><p><b>Changes in version 3.9.0 (2015-10-14):</b></p>
<p><ol class='lessindent'>
<p><b>Policy Changes:</b>
<li value='1'>The <a href="../versionnumbers.html">version numbering conventions</a> for SQLite are revised to use the
    emerging standard of <a href="http://semver.org/">semantic versioning</a>.
<p><b>New Features And Enhancements:</b>
<li>Added <a href="../json1.html">the json1 extension</a> module in the source tree, and in the <a href="../amalgamation.html">amalgamation</a>.
    Enable support using the <a href="../compile.html#enable_json1">SQLITE_ENABLE_JSON1</a> compile-time option.
<li>Added <a href="../fts5.html">Full Text Search version 5 (FTS5)</a> to the <a href="../amalgamation.html">amalgamation</a>, enabled
    using <a href="../compile.html#enable_fts5">SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS5</a>.  FTS5 will be considered "experimental" (subject
    to incompatible changes) for at least one more release cycle.
<li>The <a href="../lang_createview.html">CREATE VIEW</a> statement now accepts an optional list of
    column names following the view name.
<li>Added support for <a href="../expridx.html">indexes on expressions</a>.
<li>Added support for <a href="../vtab.html#tabfunc2">table-valued functions</a> in the FROM clause of a
    <a href="../lang_select.html">SELECT</a> statement.
<li>Added support for <a href="../vtab.html#epovtab">eponymous virtual tables</a>.
<li>A <a href="../lang_createview.html">VIEW</a> may now reference undefined tables and functions when
    initially created.  Missing tables and functions are reported when
    the VIEW is used in a query.
<li>Added the <a href="../c3ref/value_subtype.html">sqlite3_value_subtype()</a> and <a href="../c3ref/result_subtype.html">sqlite3_result_subtype()</a>
    interfaced (used by <a href="../json1.html">the json1 extension</a>).
<li>The query planner is now able to use <a href="../partialindex.html">partial indexes</a> that contain
    AND-connected terms in the WHERE clause.
<li>The sqlite3_analyzer.exe utility is updated to report the depth of
    each btree and to show the average fanout for indexes and 
    WITHOUT ROWID tables.
<li>Enhanced the <a href="../dbstat.html">dbstat virtual table</a> so that it can be used as a
    <a href="../vtab.html#tabfunc2">table-valued function</a> where the argument is the schema to be
    analyzed.
<p><b>Other changes:</b>
<li>The <a href="../c3ref/aggregate_count.html">sqlite3_memory_alarm()</a> interface, which has been deprecated and
    undocumented for 8 years, is changed into a no-op.
<p><b>Important fixes:</b>
<li>Fixed a critical bug in the 
    <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/see/doc/trunk/www/readme.wiki">SQLite Encryption Extension</a> that
    could cause the database to become unreadable and unrecoverable if a <a href="../lang_vacuum.html">VACUUM</a> command 
    changed the size of the encryption nonce.
<li>Added a memory barrier in the implementation of
    <a href="../c3ref/initialize.html">sqlite3_initialize()</a> to help ensure that it is thread-safe.
<li>Fix the <a href="../optoverview.html#or_opt">OR optimization</a> so that it always ignores subplans that
    do not use an index.
<li>Do not apply the WHERE-clause pushdown optimization on terms that originate
    in the ON or USING clause of a LEFT JOIN.  Fix for ticket
    <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/c2a19d81652f40568c">c2a19d81652f40568c</a>.

</ol>
<p><b>Additional changes in version 3.9.1 (2015-10-16):</b></p>
<p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li value='18'>Fix <a href="../json1.html">the json1 extension</a> so that it does <u>not</u> recognize ASCII form-feed as a
    whitespace character, in order to comply with RFC-7159.  Fix for ticket
    <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/57eec374ae1d0a1d">57eec374ae1d0a1d</a>
<li>Add a few #ifdef and build script changes to address compilation issues that
    appeared after the 3.9.0 release.

</ol>
<p><b>Additional changes in version 3.9.2 (2015-11-02):</b></p>
<p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li value='20'>Fix the schema parser so that it interprets certain 
    (obscure and ill-formed)
    CREATE TABLE statements the same as legacy.  Fix for ticket
    <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/ac661962a2aeab3c331">ac661962a2aeab3c331</a>
<li>Fix a query planner problem that could result in an incorrect
    answer due to the use of <a href="../optoverview.html#autoindex">automatic indexing</a> in subqueries in
    the FROM clause of a correlated scalar subqueries.  Fix for ticket
    <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/8a2adec1">8a2adec1</a>.

</ol>
<p><b>Additional changes in version 3.9.3 (2016-04-01):</b></p>
<p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li value='22'>Backport a
    <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/c648539b52ca28c0">simple query planner optimization</a>
    that allows the IS operator
    to drive an index on a LEFT OUTER JOIN.  No other changes from the
    <a href="../releaselog/3_9_2.html">version 3.9.2</a> baseline.
