## syntaqlite 0.13

### Breaking changes

- Across JSON and other representations, a missing or null column list means columns are unknown; an empty list means there are none. (0.13.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/LalitMaganti/syntaqlite/releases/tag/v0.13.0)
- DDL is checked against the tables it touches, including indexes, constraints, generated columns and triggers; dropped tables are no longer treated as existing. (0.13.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/LalitMaganti/syntaqlite/releases/tag/v0.13.0)
- The analyzer catches many more errors SQLite reports, including count mismatches, misused row values, undefined windows, and changes to views or built-in tables; each check is on by default. (0.13.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/LalitMaganti/syntaqlite/releases/tag/v0.13.0)
- The C relation definition type is now named SyntaqliteViewDef. (0.13.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/LalitMaganti/syntaqlite/releases/tag/v0.13.0)

- A comment before a statement no longer changes how its VALUES rows wrap. (0.13.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/LalitMaganti/syntaqlite/releases/tag/v0.13.0)
- Rust view definitions now use ViewDef::new(name), with .columns(cols) when the columns are known. (0.13.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/LalitMaganti/syntaqlite/releases/tag/v0.13.0)

### New APIs and options

### Behavior and default changes

- Language-server completion suggests only names that fit at the cursor, drawing from query tables and ranking suggestions by what has been typed. (0.13.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/LalitMaganti/syntaqlite/releases/tag/v0.13.0)

### Tooling

- Go-to-definition, find references and rename cover more of the schema, including schema files configured in syntaqlite.toml. (0.13.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/LalitMaganti/syntaqlite/releases/tag/v0.13.0)
