This is a compatibility release. SQLite3 3.3.8 and above changed the format of the dflt_value column of the table_info pragma, which breaks applications that depend on that metadata (like Ruby on Rails). This release of SQLite3/Ruby modifies the Database#table_info helper such that it checks the libversion and reformats the dflt_value column if necessary. The next release of Rails will use this helper to query the metadata, which will again make it compatible with all known sqlite3 versions.
