sqlite3-ruby version 1.3.0 has been released!

Special thanks goes to Aaron P. for the improved Ruby 1.9
support, backward compatibility and newer C backend!

This module allows Ruby programs to interface with the SQLite3
database engine (http://www.sqlite.org). You must have the
SQLite engine installed in order to build this module.

Note that this module is NOT compatible with SQLite 2.x.
