Message:

[1.0.X] Added a note to the SQLite database documentation mentioning that
version 3.6.2 is to be avoided like the plague. Fortunately, it was only the
latest release for three weeks, so avoidance is easy (as is upgrading).

Refs #9358.

Backport of r9540 from trunk.

+Version 3.6.2
+--------------
+
+SQLite version 3.6.2 (released August 30, 2008) introduced a bug into ``SELECT
+DISTINCT`` handling that is triggered by, amongst other things, Django's
+``DateQuerySet`` (returned by the ``dates()`` method on a queryset).
+
+You should avoid using this version of SQLite with Django. Either upgrade to
+3.6.3 (released September 22, 2008) or later, or downgrade to an earlier
+version of SQLite.
