<DT><B>2004 March 8 (2.8.13)</B></DT>
<DD><P><UL>
<li>Refactor parts of the code in order to make the code footprint
    smaller.  The code is now also a little bit faster.</li>
<li>sqlite_exec() is now implemented as a wrapper around sqlite_compile()
    and sqlite_step().</li>
<li>The built-in min() and max() functions now honor the difference between
    NUMERIC and TEXT datatypes.  Formerly, min() and max() always assumed
    their arguments were of type NUMERIC.</li>
<li>New HH:MM:SS modifier to the built-in date/time functions.</li>
<li>Experimental sqlite_last_statement_changes() API added.  Fixed the
    the last_insert_rowid() function so that it works correctly with
    triggers.</li>
<li>Add functions prototypes for the database encryption API.</li>
<li>Fix several nuisance bugs.</li>
</UL></P></DD>
<DT><B>2004 February 8 (2.8.12)</B></DT>
<DD><P><UL>
<li>Fix a bug that will might corrupt the rollback journal if a power failure
    or external program halt occurs in the middle of a COMMIT.  The corrupt
    journal can lead to database corruption when it is rolled back.</li>
<li>Reduce the size and increase the speed of various modules, especially
    the virtual machine.</li>
<li>Allow "&lt;expr&gt; IN &lt;table&gt;" as a shorthand for
    "&lt;expr&gt; IN (SELECT * FROM &lt;table&gt;".</li>
<li>Optimizations to the sqlite_mprintf() routine.</li>
<li>Make sure the MIN() and MAX() optimizations work within subqueries.</li>
</UL></P></DD>
<DT><B>2004 January 14 (2.8.11)</B></DT>
<DD><P><UL>
<li>Fix a bug in how the IN operator handles NULLs in subqueries.  The bug
    was introduced by the previous release.</li>
</UL></P></DD>
<DT><B>2004 January 13 (2.8.10)</B></DT>
<DD><P><UL>
<li>Fix a potential database corruption problem on Unix caused by the fact
    that all posix advisory locks are cleared whenever you close() a file.
    The work around it to embargo all close() calls while locks are 
    outstanding.</li>
<li>Performance enhancements on some corner cases of COUNT(*).</li>
<li>Make sure the in-memory backend response sanely if malloc() fails.</li>
<li>Allow sqlite_exec() to be called from within user-defined SQL
    functions.</li>
<li>Improved accuracy of floating-point conversions using "long double".</li>
<li>Bug fixes in the experimental date/time functions.</li>
</UL></P></DD>
<DT><B>2004 January 5 (2.8.9)</B></DT>
<DD><P><UL>
<li>Fix a 32-bit integer overflow problem that could result in corrupt
    indices in a database if large negative numbers (less than -2147483648)
    were inserted into a indexed numeric column.</li>
<li>Fix a locking problem on multi-threaded Linux implementations.</li>
<li>Always use "." instead of "," as the decimal point even if the locale
    requests ",".</li>
<li>Added UTC to localtime conversions to the experimental date/time
    functions.</li>
<li>Bug fixes to date/time functions.</li>
</UL></P></DD>
<DT><B>2003 December 17 (2.8.8)</B></DT>
<DD><P><UL>
<li>Fix a critical bug introduced into 2.8.0 which could cause
    database corruption.</li>
<li>Fix a problem with 3-way joins that do not use indices</li>
<li>The VACUUM command now works with the non-callback API</li>
<li>Improvements to the "PRAGMA integrity_check" command</li>
</UL></P></DD>
<DT><B>2003 December 4 (2.8.7)</B></DT>
<DD><P><UL>
<li>Added experimental sqlite_bind() and sqlite_reset() APIs.</li>
<li>If the name of the database is an empty string, open a new database
    in a temporary file that is automatically deleted when the database
    is closed.</li>
<li>Performance enhancements in the lemon-generated parser</li>
<li>Experimental date/time functions revised.</li>
<li>Disallow temporary indices on permanent tables.</li>
<li>Documentation updates and typo fixes</li>
