I would like to announce that new versions of DBD::SQLite are available. This includes 1.03, which embeds SQLite 3, and a renamed 0.32, which embeds SQLite 2; it is now possible to use both SQLite 3 and SQLite 2 databases from the same Perl program. This is what *I've* been waiting for.

This message is posted by me instead of Matt Sergeant because Matt can't get through directly, because:
"The sqlite list is preventing me posting due to ezmlm checking MAIL FROM rather than header From, and my MAIL FROM not being subscribed".


The details are posted here, and I also quote that link at the bottom of this email: http://use.perl.org/~Matts/journal/20319

ANNOUNCE: DBD::SQLite-1.03 and DBD::SQLite2-0.32 [#20319 ]

OK, so these releases are a bit confusing, so let me explain:

DBD::SQLite is the active release of the driver, tracking the current release of sqlite (currently 3.0.4)

DBD::SQLite2 is the old release of the driver, tracking sqlite 2.x (currently 2.8.15), and I won't be updating it very much at all. Everything is renamed, including all the internal C functions, so that you can definitely load both DBD::SQLite and DBD::SQLite2 in the same program and not have conflicts. The only significant changes since 0.31 are the update to sqlite 2.8.15, and the addition of the busy_timeout API from DBD::SQLite-1.0.

And yes, before the bikeshed painter brigade comes out, I know the "2" on the end makes the second one look more up to date. There are multiple reasons I chose this scheme.

Available on CPAN as soon as local CPAN mirrors update.
