SQLite version 3.7.4 is now available on the SQLite website

SQLite version 3.7.4 is a regularly scheduled bi-monthly maintenance
release of SQLite. Upgrading from version 3.7.2 and version 3.7.3 is
optional. Upgrading from all other SQLite releases is recommended.

This release features full-text search enhancements. The older FTS3
virtual table is still fully supported, and should also run faster. In
addition, the new FTS4 virtual table is added. FTS4 follows the same
syntax as FTS3 but holds additional metadata which facilitates some
performance improvements and more advanced matchinfo() output. Look
for further full-text search enhancements in subsequent releases.

Also in this release, the EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN output has been enhanced
and new documentation is provided so that application developers can
more easily understand how SQLite is performing their queries.

Thanks to an account from the folks at http://www.devio.us/, OpenBSD
has been added to the list of platforms upon which we test SQLite
prior to every release. That list of platforms now includes:

 * Linux x86 & x86_64
 * MacOS 10.5 & 10.6
 * MacOS 10.2 PowerPC
 * WinXP and Win7
 * Android 2.2
 * OpenBSD 4.7

The previous release of SQLite (version 3.7.3) has proven to be very
robust. The only serious issue discovered was ticket 80ba201079 that
describes an incorrect query result that can occur under very unusual
circumstances. The ticket description contains details of the problem.
Suffice it to say here that the problem is very obscure and is
unlikely to effect most applications and so upgrading is optional. The
problem is fixed, of course, in this release.

As always, please let me know if you encounter any problems with this release.
