DBD::SQLite 1.65_03 (with SQLite 3.32.3) is a release candidate for the next stable DBD::SQLite. There are no big changes, maybe except for the ncrease of the default upper bound on the number of parameters from 999 to 32766 (since SQLite 3.32).

I'll wait for about a month as always, and release 1.66 at the end of August if there's no blocker nor request to wait for more. Thank you for your patience.

DBD::SQLite 1.63_05 (with SQLite 3.29.0) is a release candidate for the next stable DBD::SQLite. There are no big changes, maybe except for two new db_config options to disallow double-quoted string literals.

  use DBD::SQLite::Constants qw/:database_connection_configuration_options/;

  $dbh->sqlite_db_config( SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DQS_DML, 1 );

  $dbh->do('INSERT INTO foo VALUES (1, "text")'); # Now this is an error

I'll wait for about a month as always, and release 1.64 in the middle of August (that means, after P…

At the Perl Toolchain Summit 2019 in Marlow/Bisham, I added a feature to manage PAUSE permissions per distribution, which I hope makes it easier for you to grant permissions to other contributors.

This was the fifth year of my PAUSE hacking. I had spent first two years to port PAUSE web interface from mod_perl to Plack to get rid of deprecated tools, and another two years from Plack to Mojolicious for more structure and understandability. PAUSE on Mojolicious was deloyed into production at the 2018 summit (I'm sorry I couldn't report this last year). However, it was still che…

DBD::SQLite 1.61_04 (with SQLite 3.26.0) is a release candidate of the next stable DBD::SQLite. This release has a security fix for FTS users who allow arbitrary SQL statements from users for some reasons (usually because of a SQL injection vulnerability). I'll only wait for a week this time to gather CPAN testers' reports. So please test this with your applications, especially if you use FTS feature.

This release also introduces "sqlite_defensive" option, to disallow dangerous SQLite features such as updating "sqlite_master" table.

DBD::SQLite 1.59_03 (with SQLite 3.25.2) is a release candidate of the next stable DBD::SQLite. Notable new features by the upstream are PostgreSQL-style UPSERT (3.24.0), ALTER TABLE table RENAME COLUMN oldname TO newname (3.25.0), and window functions (3.25.0), among others.

It also contains a fix that changes how to store values in a PerlData virtual table. If you use PerlData virtual table, this may affect your applications.

I'll wait for about a month as always, and release 1.60 at the end of November if there's no blocker nor request to wait more. Thank you for patience.…
