Version 2.8.8 of SQLite is now available on the website

http://www.sqlite.org/

Version 2.8.8 fixes a critical bug that can result in
database corruption.  The bug was introduced in version
2.8.0.  All users of SQLite version 2.8.0 and later
are urged to upgrade.

For additional information on the problem that was fixed
see

Though the problem is serious, it appears to be hard to
hit.  None of the 200000+ regression test cases that
SQLite is run through before each release hit this bug.
It took a considerable amount of effort to devise new
test cases that would hit the bug.  No problems have been
reported from the field until very recently.  So if you
are currently using SQLite version 2.8.0 through 2.8.7,
you are unlikely to experience problems, though you should
still upgrade to be on the safe side.
