 * Support for Python 2.2 has been declared obsolete.
 
+* SQLite connection got columnsFromSchema(). Now all connections fully support
+  fromDatabase. There are two version of columnsFromSchema() for SQLite -
+  one parses the result of "SELECT sql FROM sqlite_master" and the other
+  uses "PRAGMA table_info"; the user can choose one over the other by using
+  "use_table_info" parameter in DB URI; default is False as the pragma is
+  available only in the later versions of SQLite.

+* Changed connection.delColumn(): the first argument is sqlmeta, not
+  tableName (required for SQLite).
+
+* SQLite connection got delColumn(). Now all connections fully support
+  delColumn(). As SQLite backend doesn't implement "ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN"
+  delColumn() is implemented by creating a new table without the column,
+  copying all data, dropping the original table and renaming the new table.
