## SQLite Release 3.12.0 On 2016-03-29

Potentially Disruptive Change:

- The SQLITE_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE is increased from 1024 to 4096. The SQLITE_DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE is changed from 2000 to -2000 so the same amount of cache memory is used by default. See the application note on the version 3.12.0 page size change for further information.

  Performance enhancements:

- Enhancements to the Lemon parser generator so that it creates a smaller and faster SQL parser.
- Only create master journal files if two or more attached databases are all modified, do not have PRAGMA synchronous set to OFF, and do not have the journal_mode set to OFF, MEMORY, or WAL.
- Only create statement journal files when their size exceeds a threshold. Otherwise the journal is held in memory and no I/O occurs. The threshold can be configured at compile-time using SQLITE_STMTJRNL_SPILL or at start-time using sqlite3_config(SQLITE_CONFIG_STMTJRNL_SPILL).
- The query planner is able to optimize IN operators on virtual tables even if the xBestIndex method does not set the sqlite3_index_constraint_usage.omit flag of the virtual table column to the left of the IN operator.
- The query planner now does a better job of optimizing virtual table accesses in a 3-way or higher join where constraints on the virtual table are split across two or more other tables of the join.
- More efficient handling of application-defined SQL functions, especially in cases where the application defines hundreds or thousands of custom functions.
- The query planner considers the LIMIT clause when estimating the cost of ORDER BY.
- The configure script (on unix) automatically detects pread() and pwrite() and sets compile-time options to use those OS interfaces if they are available.
- Reduce the amount of memory needed to hold the schema.
- Other miscellaneous micro-optimizations for improved performance and reduced memory usage.

  New Features:

- Added the SQLITE_DBCONFIG_ENABLE_FTS3_TOKENIZER option to sqlite3_db_config() which allows the two-argument version of the fts3_tokenizer() SQL function to be enabled or disabled at run-time.
- Added the sqlite3rbu_bp_progress() interface to the RBU extension.
- The PRAGMA defer_foreign_keys=ON statement now also disables RESTRICT actions on foreign key.
- Added the sqlite3_system_errno() interface.
- Added the SQLITE_DEFAULT_SYNCHRONOUS and SQLITE_DEFAULT_WAL_SYNCHRONOUS compile-time options. The SQLITE_DEFAULT_SYNCHRONOUS compile-time option replaces the SQLITE_EXTRA_DURABLE option, which is no longer supported.
- Enhanced the ".stats" command in the command-line shell to show more information about I/O performance obtained from /proc, when available.

  Bug fixes:

- Make sure the sqlite3_set_auxdata() values from multiple triggers within a single statement do not interfere with one another. Ticket dc9b1c91.
- Fix the code generator for expressions of the form "x IN (SELECT...)" where the SELECT statement on the RHS is a correlated subquery. Ticket 5e3c886796e5512e.
- Fix a harmless TSAN warning associated with the sqlite3_db_readonly() interface.

  Hashes:

- SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: "2016-03-29 10:14:15 e9bb4cf40f4971974a74468ef922bdee481c988b"
- SHA1 for sqlite3.c: cba2be96d27cb51978cd4a200397a4ad178986eb
