Sourced from sqlite3's releases.

2.1.0 / 2024-09-24

Ruby

• This release drops support for Ruby 3.0. #563 @​flavorjones

Fork safety improvements

Sqlite itself is not fork-safe. Specifically, writing in a child process to a database connection that was created in the parent process may corrupt the database file. To mitigate this risk, sqlite3-ruby has implemented the following changes:

• All open writable database connections carried across a fork() will immediately be closed in the child process to mitigate the risk of corrupting the database file.
• These connections will be incompletely closed ("discarded") which will result in a one-time memory leak in the child process.

If it's at all possible, we strongly recommend that you close writable database connections in the parent before forking. If absolutely necessary (and you know what you're doing), you may suppress the fork safety warnings by calling SQLite3::ForkSafety.suppress_warnings!.

See the README's "Fork Safety" section and adr/2024-09-fork-safety.md for more information. [#558, #565, #566] @​flavorjones

Improved

• Use sqlite3_close_v2 to close databases in a deferred manner if there are unclosed prepared statements. Previously closing a database while statements were open resulted in a BusyException. See https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/close.html for more context. #557 @​flavorjones
• When setting a Database busy_handler, fire the write barrier to prevent potential crashes during the GC mark phase. #556 @​jhawthorn

Documentation

• The FAQ.md has been updated to fix some inaccuracies. #562 @​rickhull

New Contributors

• @​jhawthorn made their first contribution in sparklemotion/sqlite3-ruby#556
• @​rickhull made their first contribution in sparklemotion/sqlite3-ruby#562
