# Changelog

 - 2026-06-11 v1.54.0:
     - Add `netbsd/amd64` to the set of supported targets, resolving [GitLab issue #246](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/issues/246). The `lib/sqlite_netbsd_amd64.go` that shipped previously was a stale old-generator transpile that no longer compiled (the `mu.enter`/`mu.leave` build break reported in #246); it is replaced by a fresh new-generator transpile of SQLite 3.53.2, consistent with every other platform. `modernc.org/sqlite/vec` (sqlite-vec) is now vendored and auto-registers on netbsd as well. The full test suite, including the `pcache` and `vec` packages and the `-race` concurrency test, passes on NetBSD 10.1 / Go 1.26.3. Note: correct operation requires the matching `modernc.org/libc` fix for the NetBSD `mmap(2)` `PAD` ABI — without it, concurrent WAL access faults (SIGBUS) in the WAL-index shared memory.

 - 2026-06-10 v1.53.0:
     - Add a Go-facing wrapper for `SQLITE_CONFIG_PCACHE2`. `PageCache` is the factory and `Cache` the per-database instance, both idiomatic Go interfaces; `Page` exposes the raw `Buf` and `Extra` pointers that SQLite reads through the C pcache contract. `RegisterPageCache` and `MustRegisterPageCache` install the module process-globally before the first `sql.Open`; subsequent Open calls are gated through a one-shot `Xsqlite3_config(SQLITE_CONFIG_PCACHE2)` so a too-late Register returns `ErrPageCacheTooLate` rather than silently falling through to the built-in pcache1. The binding owns the `sqlite3_pcache_page` stub and re-consults the implementation on every Fetch, reusing the stub only when the returned `Page` value is unchanged, which keeps a bounded/evicting purgeable cache safe by construction.
     - See [GitLab merge request #126](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/126), thanks Ian Chechin!
     - Add `modernc.org/sqlite/pcache`, the reference page-cache implementation that accompanies the #126 `SQLITE_CONFIG_PCACHE2` wrapper. `pcache.New` returns a `*Pool` satisfying the `PageCache` interface; register it once with `sqlite.MustRegisterPageCache(pcache.New())` and every connection opened afterwards draws its pages from it. Each `Pool.Create` mints a fresh per-database `Cache`: a bounded, LRU-evicting page store that honours the `PRAGMA cache_size` soft cap and releases the least-recently-unpinned page when it must make room. Page memory — the `Buf` and `Extra` buffers SQLite reads through — is allocated with `libc.Xmalloc`/`libc.Xcalloc` and therefore lives off the Go heap, which keeps SQLite's interior pointer arithmetic on the page extras from tripping the race detector's checkptr enforcement. `Pool.Stats` reports aggregate lifetime counters (hits, misses, allocs, evictions, rekeys, truncates, caches) across every cache a Pool has created, so hit/miss/eviction behaviour is observable without instrumenting individual caches. Cross-connection page sharing is out of scope for now; each `Create` returns an independent per-database cache.
     - Validated end-to-end against the #126 stress workload (`cache_size=16`, 4000 BLOB rows with DELETE and `incremental_vacuum`, `integrity_check` clean under `-race`) and benchmarked for the memory-utilization goal tracked in [GitLab issue #204](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/issues/204).
     - See [GitLab merge request #127](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/127), thanks Ian Chechin!
     - Add an opt-in `_dqs` DSN query parameter that disables SQLite's double-quoted string literal compatibility quirk on a per-connection basis. When `_dqs=0` (or any `strconv.ParseBool` false value) is supplied, the driver calls `sqlite3_db_config` with `SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DQS_DDL` and `SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DQS_DML` set to off before any statement is prepared, so a double-quoted identifier that fails to resolve raises a parse error instead of silently falling back to a string literal. Absence of the parameter, or `_dqs=1`, leaves SQLite's default behavior unchanged; existing DSNs continue to work byte-for-byte. Resolves [GitLab issue #61](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/issues/61).
     - See [GitLab merge request #128](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/128), thanks Ian Chechin!
     - Add an opt-in `_error_rc` DSN query parameter for clearer error reporting on open-time failures. When `_error_rc=1` (or any `strconv.ParseBool` true value) is supplied, error strings synthesised from a `(rc, db)` pair only append `sqlite3_errmsg(db)` when `sqlite3_extended_errcode(db)` is consistent with the operation rc (full match first, primary code `&0xff` as fallback). On mismatch the canonical `sqlite3_errstr(rc)` is used alone, so an open-time `SQLITE_CANTOPEN` no longer carries the temporary handle's stale "out of memory" errmsg. Absence of the parameter, or `_error_rc=0`, preserves the legacy "errstr: errmsg" form byte-for-byte; existing callers that parse error strings are unaffected. The driver's `*Error.Code()` returns the same SQLite result code in both modes. Parsed before `sqlite3_open_v2` so open-time errors are covered. Resolves [GitLab issue #230](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/issues/230).
     - See [GitLab merge request #129](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/129), thanks Ian Chechin!

 - 2026-06-06 v1.52.0:
     -  Upgrade to [SQLite 3.53.2](https://sqlite.org/releaselog/3_53_2.html).
     - Add `Backup.Remaining` and `Backup.PageCount`, thin wrappers around the existing `sqlite3_backup_remaining` and `sqlite3_backup_pagecount` C symbols. Together they expose the per-`Step` progress counters that the underlying backup object already maintains, enabling progress reporting during online backups without dropping to `modernc.org/sqlite/lib` directly.
     - See [GitLab merge request #122](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/122), thanks Ian Chechin!
     - Drop the redundant second copy in `(*conn).columnText`, the path that backs every `Rows.Scan` into a Go `string` for a TEXT column. The value's bytes are still copied once out of SQLite-owned memory into a fresh Go buffer; that buffer is then reinterpreted as the result string with `unsafe.String` rather than copied a second time by the implicit `string([]byte)` conversion. This removes one allocation per TEXT value per row and roughly halves the bytes allocated on that path; on the new `BenchmarkColumnTextScan` cases it is ~13–20% faster for payloads of 256 B and larger, with no measurable change for very short strings. Purely internal: no API or behavioral change, and the returned string never aliases SQLite's buffer.
     - See [GitLab merge request #123](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/123), thanks Ian Chechin!
     - Cache each result column's declared type once per result set in `newRows` instead of recomputing it on every row. The TEXT branch of `Rows.Next` calls `ColumnTypeDatabaseTypeName` for every TEXT column on every row (independent of any DSN flag), which previously did a `libc.GoString` + `strings.ToUpper` each time; that lookup is now a single index into a cached, pre-uppercased `[]string`, and `ColumnTypeScanType` reads the same cache and drops its per-call `strings.ToLower`. The declared type is fixed for the lifetime of a prepared statement, so the C round-trip is paid once per column rather than once per column per row, removing exactly 1 alloc + 8 B per TEXT column per row from the `Next` hot path. The new `BenchmarkTextToTimeScan` cases show ~7% faster on a 1000-row DATETIME SELECT under `_texttotime=1`. Purely internal: `ColumnTypeDatabaseTypeName` and `ColumnTypeScanType` return identical values, no API or behavioral change.
     - See [GitLab merge request #124](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/124), thanks Ian Chechin!
     - Cache, per result column, the `parseTimeFormats` index that first parsed a TEXT-stored DATE/DATETIME/TIMESTAMP value, and try that format first on later rows instead of re-walking the list from the top. `(*conn).parseTime` previously ran `time.Parse` down the format list on every such row; for the canonical SQLite TEXT datetime format every row paid two failed `time.Parse` attempts — each allocating a `*time.ParseError` — before the match. On a 1000-row DATETIME TEXT SELECT this cuts ~50% of allocs/op and ~57% of B/op and is ~37% faster. The fall-through chain is preserved exactly: the seven formats are mutually exclusive, so the cached hint can never select a different match than the in-order scan, and the parsed `driver.Value` is identical to before. Purely internal: no API or behavioral change.

 - 2026-05-28 v1.51.0:
     - Pool the `[]driver.Value` slice passed to scalar/aggregate UDF callbacks and to vtab `Filter`/`Insert`/`Update` callbacks, eliminating the dominant per-row allocation on UDF-heavy queries. Benchmarks on a 1000-row, 3-arg noop scalar UDF show ~40% fewer bytes/op and ~15% fewer allocs/op.
     - Document the matching "arguments are not valid past return" contract on `vtab.Cursor.Filter` and `vtab.Updater.Insert`/`Update`, consistent with the existing rule for `FunctionImpl.Scalar` / `AggregateFunction.Step` / `WindowInverse`.
     - Resolves [GitLab issue #226](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/issues/226). See [GitLab merge request #114](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/114), thanks Ian Chechin!
     - Add `FileControl.FileControlDataVersion`, a wrapper around `SQLITE_FCNTL_DATA_VERSION` for observing pager-cache data-version changes, including those made on the same connection. Useful as a primitive for application-level cache invalidation.
     - Exposed via the idiomatic `database/sql` escape hatch `(*sql.Conn).Raw()`, consistent with the existing `FileControlPersistWAL`.                                                                    
     - See [GitLab merge request #115](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/115), thanks Ian Chechin!
     - Fix a regression where in-memory connections (`:memory:`, `file::memory:`, shared-cache memory URIs) were discarded by `database/sql` after a context-cancelled query, taking the entire in-memory store with them. The fix for #198 had added an `sqlite3_is_interrupted` check to the connection validator that mistakenly applied to in-memory connections too, re-introducing the bug originally fixed by !74. File-backed connections keep the existing behaviour and are still discarded after an interrupt.
     - Resolves [GitLab issue #196](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/issues/196). See [GitLab merge request #116](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/116), thanks Ian Chechin!
     - Add an opt-in `FunctionImpl.VolatileArgs` flag that hands TEXT and BLOB arguments to scalar and aggregate UDF callbacks as zero-copy views (`unsafe.String`/`unsafe.Slice`) over SQLite's own value buffers, eliminating the per-argument `libc.GoString`/`make([]byte)` copy that the #226 slice-pooling left as the remaining per-row allocation. On the same 1000-row, 3-arg (INTEGER/TEXT/BLOB) noop scalar UDF this removes a further ~35% of allocs/op and ~11% of bytes/op on top of #226.
     - The views are valid only for the duration of the callback and must not be retained past return or across rows; a callback that needs to keep a value must copy it. With `VolatileArgs` unset (the default) arguments keep the existing copied, caller-owned semantics, so the flag is fully backward compatible; it has no effect on integer, float, time, or NULL arguments.
     - See [GitLab merge request #120](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/120), thanks Ian Chechin!
     - Extend the opt-in `VolatileArgs` zero-copy TEXT/BLOB argument access from #120 to the virtual-table `Cursor.Filter` (`xFilter`) and `Updater.Insert`/`Update` (`xUpdate`) callbacks. A `vtab.Module` opts in by implementing the new optional `vtab.VolatileArgsOpter` interface (`VolatileArgs() bool`); the flag is read once at module registration and shared by every table created from it. On a vtab call carrying one TEXT and one BLOB argument this removes 2 allocs/op (one `libc.GoString`, one `make([]byte)`) on each of the Filter and Update paths.
     - The same safety contract as #120 applies: the views are valid only for the duration of the callback and must not be retained past return or across rows; a callback that needs to keep a value must copy it. Modules that do not implement `VolatileArgsOpter` (the default for all existing modules) are byte-for-byte unchanged, and the flag has no effect on integer, float, time, or NULL arguments.

 - 2026-05-10 v1.50.1:
     - Upgrade to [SQLite 3.53.1](https://sqlite.org/releaselog/3_53_1.html).

 - 2026-04-24 v1.50.0:
     - Upgrade to sqlite-vec [v0.1.9](https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec/releases/tag/v0.1.9).
     - Introduce `ColumnInfo`, enabling dynamic query builders and ORMs to retrieve underlying SQLite C-API metadata (`OriginName`, `TableName`, `DatabaseName`, and `DeclType`).
     - This feature is exposed via the idiomatic `database/sql` escape hatch `(*sql.Conn).Raw()`, avoiding custom statement handles and keeping the standard library workflow intact.
     - See [GitLab merge request #113](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/113), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
 
 - 2026-04-17 v1.49.0: Upgrade to [SQLite 3.53.0](https://sqlite.org/releaselog/3_53_0.html).
     - Added `-DSQLITE_ENABLE_DBPAGE_VTAB` to the transpilation. See ["The SQLITE_DBPAGE Virtual Table"](https://www.sqlite.org/dbpage.html) for details.

 - 2026-04-06 v1.48.2:
     - Fix ABI mapping mismatch in the pre-update hook trampoline that caused silent truncation of large 64-bit RowIDs.
     - Ensure the Go trampoline signature correctly aligns with the public `sqlite3_preupdate_hook` C API, preventing data corruption for high-entropy keys (e.g., Snowflake IDs).
     - See [GitLab merge request #98](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/98), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
     - Fix the memory allocator used in `(*conn).Deserialize`.
     - Replace `tls.Alloc` with `sqlite3_malloc64` to prevent internal allocator corruption. This ensures the buffer is safely owned by SQLite, which may resize or free it due to the `SQLITE_DESERIALIZE_RESIZEABLE` and `SQLITE_DESERIALIZE_FREEONCLOSE` flags.
     - Prevent a memory leak by properly freeing the allocated buffer if fetching the main database name fails before handing ownership to SQLite.
     - See [GitLab merge request #100](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/100), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
     - Fix `(*conn).Deserialize` to explicitly reject `nil` or empty byte slices.
     - Prevent silent database disconnection and connection pool corruption caused by SQLite's default behavior when `sqlite3_deserialize` receives a 0-length buffer.
     - See [GitLab merge request #101](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/101), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
     - Fix `commitHookTrampoline` and `rollbackHookTrampoline` signatures by removing the unused `pCsr` parameter.
     - Aligns internal hook callbacks accurately with the underlying SQLite C API, cleaning up the code to prevent potential future confusion or bugs.
     - See [GitLab merge request #102](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/102), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
     - Fix `checkptr` instrumentation failures during `go test -race` when registering and using virtual tables (`vtab`).
     - Allocate `sqlite3_module` instances using the C allocator (`libc.Xcalloc`) instead of the Go heap. This ensures transpiled C code can safely perform pointer operations on the struct without tripping Go's pointer checks.
     - See [GitLab merge request #103](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/103), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
     - Fix data race on `mutex.id` in the `mutexTry` non-recursive path.
     - Ensure consistent atomic writes (`atomic.StoreInt32`) to prevent data races with atomic loads in `mutexHeld` and `mutexNotheld` during concurrent execution.
     - See [GitLab merge request #104](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/104), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
     - Fix resource leak in `(*Backup).Commit` where the destination connection was not closed on error.
     - Ensure `dstConn` is properly closed when `sqlite3_backup_finish` fails, preventing file descriptor, TLS, and memory leaks.
     - See [GitLab merge request #105](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/105), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
     - Fix `Exec` to fully drain rows when encountering `SQLITE_ROW`, preventing silent data loss in DML statements.
     - Previously, `Exec` aborted after the first row, meaning `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, or `DELETE` statements with a `RETURNING` clause would fail to process subsequent rows. The execution path now correctly loops until `SQLITE_DONE` and properly respects context cancellations during the drain loop, fully aligning with native C `sqlite3_exec` semantics.
     - See [GitLab merge request #106](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/106), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
     - Fix "Shadowed err value (stmt.go)".
     - See [GitLab issue #249](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/work_items/249), thanks Emrecan BATI!
     - Fix silent omission of virtual table savepoint callbacks by correctly setting the sqlite3_module version.
     - See [GitLab merge request #107](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/107), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
     - Fix `vfsRead` to properly handle partial and fragmented reads from `io.Reader`.
     - Replace `f.Read` with `io.ReadFull` to ensure the buffer is fully populated, preventing premature `SQLITE_IOERR_SHORT_READ` errors on valid mid-stream partial reads. Unread tail bytes at EOF are now efficiently zero-filled using the built-in `clear` function.
     - See [GitLab merge request #108](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/108), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
     - Refactor internal error formatting to safely handle uninitialized or closed database pointers.
     - Prevent a misleading "out of memory" error message when an operation fails and the underlying SQLite database handle is `NULL` (`db == 0`).
     - See [GitLab merge request #109](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/109), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
     - Fix error handling in database backup and restore initialization (`sqlite3_backup_init`).
     - Ensure error codes and messages are accurately read from the destination database handle rather than hardcoding the source or remote handle. This prevents swallowed errors or mismatched "not an error" messages when a backup or restore operation fails to start.
     - See [GitLab merge request #111](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/111), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!
     - Fix database handle and C-heap memory leaks when `sqlite3_open_v2` fails.
     - Ensure `sqlite3_close_v2` is called on the partially allocated database handle during a failed open, and explicitly close `libc.TLS` in `newConn` to prevent resource leakage.
     - Prevent misleading "out of memory" error messages on failed connections by correctly extracting the exact error string from the allocated handle before it is closed.
     - See [GitLab merge request #112](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/112), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!

 - 2026-04-03 v1.48.1:
     - Fix memory leaks and double-free vulnerabilities in the multi-statement query execution path.
     - Ensure bind-parameter allocations are reliably freed via strict ownership transfer if an error occurs mid-loop or if multiple statements bind parameters.
     - Fix a resource leak where a subsequent statement's error could orphan a previously generated `rows` object without closing it, leaking the prepared statement handle.
     - See [GitLab merge request #96](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/96), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!

 - 2026-03-27 v1.48.0:
     - Add `_timezone` DSN query parameter to apply IANA timezones (e.g., "America/New_York") to both reads and writes.
     - Writes will convert `time.Time` values to the target timezone before formatting as a string.
     - Reads will interpret timezone-less strings as being in the target timezone.
     - Does not impact `_inttotime` integer values, which will always safely evaluate as UTC.
     - Add support for `_time_format=datetime` URI parameter to format `time.Time` values identically to SQLite's native `datetime()` function and `CURRENT_TIMESTAMP` (`YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS`).
     - See [GitLab merge request #94](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/94) and [GitLab merge request #95](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/95), thanks Josh Bleecher Snyder!

 - 2026-03-17 v1.47.0: Add CGO-free version of the vector extensions from https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec. See `vec_test.go` for example usage. From the GitHub project page:
     - **Important:** sqlite-vec is a pre-v1, so expect breaking changes!
     - Store and query float, int8, and binary vectors in vec0 virtual tables
     - Written in pure C, no dependencies, runs anywhere SQLite runs (Linux/MacOS/Windows, in the browser with WASM, Raspberry Pis, etc.)
     - Store non-vector data in metadata, auxiliary, or partition key columns
     - See [GitLab merge request #93](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/93), thanks Zhenghao Zhang!

 - 2026-03-16 v1.46.2: Upgrade to  [SQLite 3.51.3](https://sqlite.org/releaselog/3_51_3.html).

 - 2026-02-17 v1.46.1:
     - Ensure connection state is reset if Tx.Commit fails. Previously, errors like SQLITE_BUSY during COMMIT could leave the underlying connection inside a transaction, causing errors when the connection was reused by the database/sql pool. The driver now detects this state and forces a rollback internally.
     - Fixes [GitHub issue #2](https://github.com/modernc-org/sqlite/issues/2), thanks Edoardo Spadolini!

 - 2026-02-17 v1.46.0:
     - Enable ColumnTypeScanType to report time.Time instead of string for TEXT columns declared as DATE, DATETIME, TIME, or TIMESTAMP via a new `_texttotime` URI parameter.
     - See [GitHub pull request #1](https://github.com/modernc-org/sqlite/pull/1), thanks devhaozi!

 - 2026-02-09  v1.45.0:
     - Introduce vtab subpackage (modernc.org/sqlite/vtab) exposing Module, Table, Cursor, and IndexInfo API for Go virtual tables.
     - Wire vtab registration into the driver: vtab.RegisterModule installs modules globally and each new connection calls sqlite3_create_module_v2.
     - Implement vtab trampolines for xCreate/xConnect/xBestIndex/xDisconnect/xDestroy/xOpen/xClose/xFilter/xNext/xEof/xColumn/xRowid.
     - Map SQLite’s sqlite3_index_info into vtab.IndexInfo, including constraints, ORDER BY terms, and constraint usage (ArgIndex → xFilter argv[]).
     - Add an in‑repo dummy vtab module and test (module_test.go) that validates registration, basic scanning, and constraint visibility.
     - See [GitLab merge request #90](https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/merge_requests/90), thanks Adrian Witas!
