Can we get an updated version of sqlite in 5.2 and beyond?

or Fasm should update too,

I agree, I would like to see updated versions of SQLite every release.
I understand Fred's reluctance as in the past there have been problems with third-party libraries.
However, SQLite is frequently updated and has proven to be stable over the years.
Also, I believe there is a fair amount of work for Fred to incorporate a new SQLite version. It's not just copying in the new code and recompiling, there is some customization that must be done for it to work with PB.

Fingers crossed for a new version of SQLite with PB 5.21...

Actually, I think it's pretty close to just copying in and recompiling the sqlite.c file; the fetching of a new .c file and building it to a static library could be automated...

Not sure how much work is involved but there is apparently some to get it integrated with PB:

"... we won't put an updated SQlite as it requiers some adaptation from us. ..."

i would appreciate a newer version of sqlite in pb too.
in pb 5.31 the version of sqlite is 3.7.15.2 (released 2013-01-09) and the current stable version is 3.8.7.2 and contains a lot of new features and bugfixes.
