sqlite-migrate 0.2

Simon Willison has released version 0.2 of sqlite-migrate, a library for managing SQLite database schema migrations. According to Willison, this version effectively retires the library by providing a compatibility shim that works with the newly released sqlite-utils 4.0 dependency. Instead of adding new features, sqlite-migrate now serves as a migration path for existing users to transition to sqlite-utils 4.0, which will be the focus of future development. For builders who rely on SQLite in their AI workflows—such as lightweight backends, data processing pipelines, or prototype environments—this release signals a consolidation of database tools. The practical angle is that developers should update their projects to depend on sqlite-utils 4.0 and remove direct sqlite-migrate usage to stay on a supported path. This change reduces maintenance overhead and streamlines the toolchain for SQLite-based applications.
