+<h3>2024-05-23 (3.46.0)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
+<li> Enhance <a href="pragma.html#pragma_optimize">PRAGMA optimize</a> in multiple ways, to make it
+     <a href="lang_analyze.html#pragopt">simpler to use</a>:
+     <ol type="a">
+     <li> PRAGMA optimize automatically implements a temporary
+          <a href="pragma.html#pragma_analysis_limit">analysis limit</a> to prevent excess runtime
+          on large databases.
+     <li> Added the new 0x10000 bitmask option to check for updates on all tables.
+     <li> Automatically re-analyze tables that do not have sqlite_stat1 entries.
+     </ol>
+<li> Enhancements to the <a href="lang_datefunc.html">date and time functions</a>:
+     <ol type="a">
+     <li> The <a href="lang_datefunc.html#strftm">strftime() SQL function</a> now supports %G, %g, %U, and %V.
+     <li> New modifiers 'ceiling' and 'floor' control the algorithm used to
+          resolve <a href="lang_datefunc.html#dtambg">ambiguous dates</a> when shifting a date by an integer number
+          of months and/or years.
+     <li> The <a href="lang_datefunc.html#localtime">'utc' and 'localtime' modifiers</a> are now no-ops if SQLite knows
+          that the time is already in UTC or in the localtime, respectively.
+     </ol>
+<li> Add support for underscore ("_") characters between digits in
+     <a href="lang_expr.html#litvalue">numeric literals</a>.
+<li> Add the <a href="json1.html#jpretty">json_pretty()</a> SQL function.
+<li> Query planner improvements:
+     <ol type="a">
+     <li> The "VALUES-as-coroutine" optimization enables INSERT statements with 
+          thousands of rows in the VALUES clause to parse and run in about half
+          the time and using about half as much memory.
+     <li> Allow the use of an index for queries like "SELECT count(DISTINCT col) FROM ...",
+          even if the index records are not smaller than the table records.
+     <li> Improved recognition of cases where the value of an SQL function is
+          constant because all its arguments are constant.
+     <li> Enhance the <a href="optoverview.html#pushdown">WHERE-clause push-down optimization</a> so that it is able to
+          push down WHERE clause terms containing uncorrelated subqueries.
+     </ol>
+<li> Allocate additional memory from the heap for the SQL parser stack if
+     that stack overflows, rather than reporting a "parser stack overflow" error.
+<li> JSON changes:
+     <ol type="a">
+     <li> Allow ASCII control characters within JSON5 string literals.
+     <li> Fix <a href="json1.html#jptr">the -> and ->> operators</a> so that when the right-hand side operand is a string
+          that looks like an integer it is still treated as a string, because that is what
+          PostgreSQL does.
+     </ol>
+<li> Allow large hexadecimal literals to be used as the DEFAULT value to a table column.
