sqlite-migrate 0.2

The release of sqlite-migrate 0.2 marks the retirement of the standalone library. This tool was originally designed as a simple database migration system for SQLite, built on top of the sqlite-utils library.

This update changes the library into a compatibility shim. It now relies on the newly released sqlite-utils 4.0, which has integrated native support for database schema migrations. By shifting this functionality directly into the core sqlite-utils package, the separate migration tool is no longer necessary for managing database changes.

This transition simplifies the development workflow for users who rely on sqlite-utils. By consolidating migration features into the primary library, developers can manage their database schemas more efficiently without needing to maintain an additional dependency.
