SQLite, a popular open-source database software, is planning to replace its current build process with an updated system. The change aims to improve the build process and provide better support for automated builds. However, this change may require some adaptation from users who rely on the existing build process. The new system will be available in pre-release snapshots, and developers are encouraged to test it early to identify any potential issues.

The update only affects Unix-like environments, while Windows builds remain unaffected. Developers using Python's build system with SQLite can also expect minimal changes. The change is part of an ongoing effort to improve the build process and provide more reliable automated builds.
