New feature highlights:

From now you can encrypt your database using the following encryption algorithms: ChaCha20, AES128,
AES256,
SQLCipher and RC4
(thanks to SQLite3 Multiple Ciphers project).

Support for generated columns has been added (SQLite 3.31).
Values of such columns are automatically computed based on a predefined expression. Both stored and virtual columns are supported.
To create a generated column, just provide the generation expression in the Formula edit box.

Support for renaming (SQLite 3.25) and dropping (SQLite 3.35) columns using ALTER TABLE statement has been implemented.
Previously, to implement such operations it was required to create a new table with the updated structure,
copy data from the original table to the new table, drop the original table and then rename the new table to the name of the original table.
Now, it is done with a single command.
