Release of SQLite3MC Version 2.3.0
Ulrich Telle
Version 2.3.0 of the SQLite encryption extension SQLite3 Multiple Ciphers, based on SQLite 3.52.0, has been released.
In this context, the components wxSQLite3 and apsw-sqlite3mc have also been updated.
SQLite version 3.52.0 has been withdrawn because some of the new features found in 3.52.0 are not 100% compatible with prior releases. Those new features and their associated APIs need to be reworked before 3.52 is made available.
Version 3.52.0 works fine and is fully backwards compatible as long as the database does not contain indexes on expressions or indexes on VIRTUAL computed columns where the expression evaluates to a floating-point number that is derived from text or JSONB inputs. If indexes of that type are present, then version 3.52.0 might not interoperate correct with prior releases, in rare cases.
Therefore it is recommended to use release SQLite3 Multiple Ciphers 2.3.1 (based on the SQLite patch release 3.51.3) or later, until version SQLite 3.52 has been reworked.
