Why SQLite v3.51.3 instead of v3.52.0

From the SQLite team:

Some important issues have been found with version 3.52.0. In order to give us time to deal with those issues, we plan to withdraw the 3.52.0 release. In its place, we will put up a new 3.51.3 patch release that includes a fix for the recently discovered WAL-reset bug as well as other patches. This will happen probably within about the next twelve hours.

Hence, if you were planning to upgrade to 3.52.0 tomorrow (Friday, 2026-03-14), perhaps it would be better to wait a day or so for 3.51.3.

At some point we will do version 3.52.1 which will hopefully resolve the issues that have arisen with the 3.52.0 release.

v12.7.1

Also not a viable release

The V8 API change was more bonkers than expected. See v12.8.0.

What's Changed

• fix: use Holder() instead of This() for Electron 41 compatibility by @​mceachen in WiseLibs/better-sqlite3#1456
• Roll back to SQLite to version 3.51.2 in WiseLibs/better-sqlite3#1457

Full Changelog: WiseLibs/better-sqlite3@v12.7.0...v12.7.1

v12.7.0

CAUTION: NOT A VIABLE RELEASE

Two (!!) reasons:

1. Electron v41 bit us and removed functions we were using, so a bunch of prebuilds are missing
2. From the SQLite team:

   Some important issues have been found with version 3.52.0. In order to give us time to deal with those issues, we plan to withdraw the 3.52.0 release. In its place, we will put up a new 3.51.3 patch release that includes a fix for the recently discovered WAL-reset bug as well as other patches.
