* Approximately 25% better performance from the R-Tree extension.
* Uses compiler built-ins (ex: __builtin_bswap32() or _byteswap_ulong()) for byteswapping when available.
* Uses the sqlite3_blob key/value access object instead of SQL for pulling content out of R-Tree nodes
* Other miscellaneous enhancements such as loop unrolling.
* Add the SQLITE_DEFAULT_LOOKASIDE compile-time option.
* Increase the default lookaside size from 512,125 to 1200,100 as this provides better performance while only adding 56KB of extra memory per connection. Memory-sensitive applications can restore the old default at compile-time, start-time, or run-time.
* Use compiler built-ins __builtin_sub_overflow(), __builtin_add_overflow(), and __builtin_mul_overflow() when available. (All compiler built-ins can be omitted with the SQLITE_DISABLE_INTRINSIC compile-time option.)
* Added the SQLITE_ENABLE_NULL_TRIM compile-time option, which can result in significantly smaller database files for some applications, at the risk of being incompatible with older versions of SQLite.
* Change SQLITE_DEFAULT_PCACHE_INITSZ from 100 to 20, for improved performance.
* Added the SQLITE_UINT64_TYPE compile-time option as an analog to SQLITE_INT64_TYPE.
* Perform some UPDATE operations in a single pass instead of in two passes.
* Enhance the session extension to support WITHOUT ROWID tables.
* Fixed performance problems and potential stack overflows when creating views from multi-row VALUES clauses with hundreds of thousands of rows.
* Added the sha1.c extension.
* In the command-line shell, enhance the ".mode" command so that it restores the default column and row separators for modes "line", "list", "column", and "tcl".
* Enhance the SQLITE_DIRECT_OVERFLOW_READ option so that it works in WAL mode as long as the pages being read are not in the WAL file.
* Enhance the LEMON parser generator so that it can store the parser object as a stack variable rather than allocating space from the heap and make use of that enhancement in the amalgamation.
* Other performance improvements. Uses about 6.5% fewer CPU cycles.
Bug Fixes:
* Throw an error if the ON clause of a LEFT JOIN references tables to the right of the ON clause. This is the same behavior as PostgreSQL. Formerly, SQLite silently converted the LEFT JOIN into an INNER JOIN.
* Use the correct affinity for columns of automatic indexes.
* Ensure that the sqlite3_blob_reopen() interface can correctly handle short rows.
