The next release of SQLite will now be version 3.9.0. The sources has
been updated to use "semantic versioning" and the JSON1 and FTS5
extensions have been incorporated into the amalgamation.
Draft documentation is available at:
https://www.sqlite.org/draft/releaselog/3_9_0.html
https://www.sqlite.org/draft/index.html
A snapshot of the latest amalgamation that includes JSON1 and FTS5 can
be found at the top link on:
https://www.sqlite.org/download.html
Compile the snapshot above using SQLITE_ENABLE_JSON1 and/or
SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS5 to enable the new extensions.
Please try out this and subsequent snapshots if you are able and
report any problems to this mailing list, or directly to me, as
quickly as possible, so that we will have time to get fixes into the
official 3.9.0 release.
A new release check-list is available at:
https://www.sqlite.org/checklists/3090000/index
We will spend the next day or two running preliminary checks on the
new code and cleaning up the documentation. Expect to see items of
the checklist going green early next week. The 3.9.0 release will
occur when the checklist goes completely green.
