We are pleased to announce that SQLCipher 4.6.1 is now available.
Continuing with the recent improvements to SQLCipher’s logging subsystem, the new PRAGMA cipher_log_source can be used to filter log output on higher verbosity levels by specifying a log source of CORE, MEMORY, MUTEX, or PROVIDER. Applications can now tune exactly which types of messages should be logged, most useful in the context of TRACE and DEBUG level logging where the volume of log messages is very high.
In addition to the logging changes, there are a very large number of additional improvements, fixes, and updates in this release.
