Release candidate is an incremental update but brings substantive enhancements with a breaking change, making it worth attention.
AI commentary
「Although just a release candidate, the compound foreign key support solves a long-standing pain point—all sqlite-utils users should preview this and plan migration, especially those with multi-column foreign key designs that will benefit from reduced manual effort.」
Quick overview
sqlite-utils 4.0rc3 is the latest release candidate before the stable 4.0 release by Simon Willison. Key features include introspection and creation of compound foreign keys (with a subtle breaking change to table.foreign_keys) and following SQLite's case-insensitive column name convention. The release leverages Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.5 to process a backlog of issues and PRs.
- sqlite-utils 4.0rc3 adds introspection and creation of compound foreign keys
- Introduces a subtle breaking change to the table.foreign_keys API
- Adopts SQLite's case-insensitive column name convention, affecting multiple code paths
- Leverages AI tools (Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.5) to streamline release process

Release: sqlite-utils 4.0rc3
I hoped to release sqlite-utils 4.0 stable this weekend, but as I worked through the backlog of issues and PRs with a combination of Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.5 the changelog since rc2 kept getting bigger.
The biggest new feature is support for introspecting and creating compound foreign keys - a feature that involves a subtle breaking change to table.foreign_keys and hence needed to land for the 4.0 stable release.
sqlite-utils also now follows SQLite's convention for case insensitive column names, which turned out to touch a bunch of different places at once.
