0.2.0 - 2026-06-23

The first stabilization release after the initial fork. Focuses on build reproducibility, full independence from upstream packages, fixing rebrand-era bugs, and getting CI green across Linux and Windows.

Fixed

  • WASM user-defined functions: corrected a truncated internal table name (sqlanywhere_wasm_func_table) caused by a hard-coded string length left over from the rename. WASM UDFs failed with no such table: sqlanywhere_wasm_func_ before this fix. Patched in both src/ and the bundled amalgamations.
  • Native library name: the SQLite-compatible C library now builds consistently as libsqlanywhere.{a,la,dylib} / sqlanywhere.lib. The rename had accidentally produced an invalid sqlite3.la (no lib prefix, rejected by libtool) and a mangled sqlanywhereite3 target.
  • Autotools/MSVC build: regenerated autoconf/Makefile.msc from Makefile.msc so srctree-check passes again.
  • P0 safety issues:
    • Documented the Send/Sync soundness of local::Rows (SQLITE_THREADSAFE, Arc ownership, single-task RefCell access).
    • Hardened bottomless::Replicator::wait_until_snapshotted with explicit control flow and clear error semantics.
    • Removed a TOCTOU race in namespace fork (redundant existence check before the lock-guarded check).
  • Applied cargo fmt across the workspace.

Changed

  • Full independence from upstream crates.io packages: replaced the external libsql-client (dev) and libsql-wasmtime-bindings dependencies. The bottomless integration test now dogfoods the in-tree sqlanywhere client, and the WASM runtime uses the in-tree wasmtime-bindings crate.
  • Renamed the C-binding crate sql-experimental → sqlanywhere-experimental (output libsqlanywhere_experimental.a), removing the last libsql-looking artifact.
  • Modernized CI: actions/checkout v2/v3 → v4, actions/cache v3 → v4, replaced deprecated actions-rs/cargo@v1 with direct cargo commands; Windows builds skip the encryption feature (no Visual Studio CMake generator on runners).
  • Added/normalized Cargo.toml descriptions and keywords for all crates.
  • Documentation links now point to https://elyracode.com/docs/sqlanywhere; source links point to github.com/kwhorne/sql-anywhere.

Added

  • CHANGELOG.md (this file).
  • docs/TECH_DEBT.md — a categorized inventory of the inherited code markers (35 FIXME, 59 TODO, 1 HACK, 2 XXX) with recommended priorities.
  • Build prerequisites table in the README (Rust, C compiler, libclang, protoc, cmake) with per-OS install commands; CI installs cmake where the encryption feature is built.
  • workflow_dispatch triggers on the core CI workflows for manual runs.

CI status

Green on Linux and Windows for: Rust (fmt/check/test/encryption), C bindings, Extensions (vector, UDF, cr-sqlite), and the Makefile/WASM SQLite test suite.

0.1.0 - 2026-06-21

Initial release of SQL Anywhere — an embeddable, replication-ready SQL engine built on SQLite, maintained by Elyra.

Added

  • Complete fork and rebrand to SQL Anywhere across the entire codebase: Rust crates, the SQLite C fork, FFI bindings, bundled amalgamations, and binary test fixtures (WASM modules and the DiskANN vector-index database).
  • Embedded Rust API (sqlanywhere), server (sqld / sqlanywhere-server), Hrana remote protocol, replication primitives, and bottomless S3-backed WAL replication.
  • Original project README, set the workspace and C-library version to 0.1.0, and published the v0.1.0 tag and GitHub release.
