Subject: Bundle SQLite 3.3.3
Per http://www.sqlite.org/: The file format for version 3.3.0 has changed slightly in order provide a more efficient encoding of binary values. SQLite 3.3.0 will read and write legacy databases created with any prior version of SQLite 3. But databases created by version 3.3.0 will not be readable or writable by earlier versions of the SQLite. The older file format can be specified at compile-time for those rare cases where it is needed. Version 3.3.3 is the stable release of the 3.3.x line so it would be nice to have it bundled with DBD::SQLite since it would for one, fix bugs that have occurred since the last time you updated the bundled SQLite and also provide compatibility with databases created by other SQLite 3.3.x clients. I am aware of the ability to manually build the module with newer versions of SQLite but I think many would benefit from not having to in this cases because of the reasons I mentioned above.
