The amalgamations packages changed once after the release announcement  
because the first package we put up was a defective build.  This was  
brought to our attention and we reran the build and put up new and  
corrected amalgamation packages.

If you have seen the amalgamation SHA1 sums change more than one time,  
that is an indication of unauthorized hacking of the SQLite website.   
Please let us know.  But if you saw just this one change, then please  
discard the first amalgamation and use only the second one.

Here is the correct SHA1 checksum for the SQLite amalgamation version  
3.6.13:

   950855d9eed9b8bd6fad406cece5a24b640c3e3f  sqlite- 
amalgamation-3.6.13.tar.gz
