The first major version bump of his widely-used Python/CLI SQLite toolkit lands built-in schema migrations and savepoint-based nested transactions on June 21. If you lean on sqlite-utils as glue in data or LLM pipelines, migrations kill the hand-rolled ALTER scripts you've been maintaining. It ships the same week as his Datasette Apps work, continuing the push to make SQLite a first-class substrate for agent-built tools.
