Hi,

on the announcement for 3.4.0 I see that among the new features there’s support for FTS5.

I would like to ask SQLCipher has some code to deal specifically with this or if FTS5 support is simply a consequence of SQLite adding this feature.

Regards,  
Karl

Hello @Karl.s - thanks for getting in touch. Each SQLCipher release includes a carefully selected set of features from SQLite which we then enable in the builds. FTS5 is one of those features included from SQLite upstream.
