  -   Added `__version__`, now displayed as tooltip in page footer
      (#108).
  -   Added initial docs, including a changelog (#99).
  -   Turned on auto-escaping in Jinja.
  -   Added a UI for editing named parameters (#96).

       You can now construct a custom SQL statement using SQLite named parameters (e.g. `:name`) and datasette will display form fields for editing those parameters. [Here's an example](https://australian-dogs.now.sh/australian-dogs-3ba9628?sql=select+name%2C+count%28*%29+as+n+from+%28%0D%0A%0D%0Aselect+upper%28%22Animal+name%22%29+as+name+from+%5BAdelaide-City-Council-dog-registrations-2013%5D+where+Breed+like+%3Abreed%0D%0A%0D%0Aunion+all%0D%0A%0D%0Aselect+upper%28Animal_Name%29+as+name+from+%5BAdelaide-City-Council-dog-registrations-2014%5D+where+Breed_Description+like+%3Abreed%0D%0A%0D%0Aunion+all+%0D%0A%0D%0Aselect+upper%28Animal_Name%29+as+name+from+%5BAdelaide-City-Council-dog-registrations-2015%5D+where+Breed_Description+like+%3Abreed%0D%0A%0D%0Aunion+all%0D%0A%0D%0Aselect+upper%28%22AnimalName%22%29+as+name+from+%5BCity-of-Port-Adelaide-Enfield-Dog_Registrations_2016%5D+where+AnimalBreed+like+%3Abreed%0D%0A%0D%0Aunion+all%0D%0A%0D%0Aselect+upper%28%22Animal+Name%22%29+as+name+from+%5BMitcham-dog-registrations-2015%5D+where+Breed+like+%3Abreed%0D%0A%0D%0Aunion+all%0D%0A%0D%0Aselect+upper%28%22DOG_NAME%22%29+as+name+from+%5Bburnside-dog-registrations-2015%5D+where+DOG_BREED+like+%3Abreed%0D%0A%0D%0Aunion+all+%0D%0A%0D%0Aselect+upper%28%22Animal_Name%22%29+as+name+from+%5Bcity-of-playford-2015-dog-registration%5D+where+Breed_Description+like+%3Abreed%0D%0A%0D%0Aunion+all%0D%0A%0D%0Aselect+upper%28%22Animal+Name%22%29+as+name+from+%5Bcity-of-prospect-dog-registration-details-2016%5D+where%22Breed+Description%22+like+%3Abreed%0D%0A%0D%0A%29+group+by+name+order+by+n+desc%3B&breed=pug) which lets you see the most popular names for dogs of different species registered through various dog registration schemes in Australia.
  -   Pin to specific Jinja version. (#100).
  -   Default to 127.0.0.1 not 0.0.0.0. (#98).
  -   Added extra metadata options to publish and package commands.
      (#92).

      You can now run these commands like so:

          datasette now publish mydb.db \
              --title="My Title" \
              --source="Source" \
              --source_url="http://www.example.com/" \
              --license="CC0" \
              --license_url="https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"

      This will write those values into the metadata.json that is packaged
      with the app. If you also pass `--metadata=metadata.json` that file
      will be updated with the extra values before being written into the
      Docker image.

  -   Added simple production-ready Dockerfile (#94) \[Andrew Cutler\]
  -   New `?_sql_time_limit_ms=10` argument to database and table page
      (#95)
  -   SQL syntax highlighting with Codemirror (#89) \[Tom Dyson\]

  # 0.13 (2017-11-24)

    - Search now applies to current filters.
      
      Combined search into the same form as filters.
      
      Closes [\#133](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/133)

    - Much tidier design for table view header.
      
      Closes [\#147](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/147)

    - Added `?column__not=blah` filter.
      
      Closes [\#148](https://github.c)

    - Row page now resolves foreign keys.
      
      Closes [\#132]()

    - Further tweaks to select/input filter styling.
      
      Refs [\#86]() - thanks for the help, @natbat\!

    - Show linked foreign key in table cells.

    - Added UI for editing table filters.
      
      Refs [\#86]()

    - Hide FTS-created tables on index pages.
      
      Closes [\#129]()

    - Add publish to heroku support \[Jacob Kaplan-Moss\]
      
      `datasette publish heroku mydb.db`
      
      Pull request [\#104]()

    - Initial implementation of `?_group_count=column`.
      
      URL shortcut for counting rows grouped by one or more columns.
      
      `?_group_count=column1&_group_count=column2` works as well.
      
      SQL generated looks like this:
      
          select "qSpecies", count(*) as "count"
          from Street_Tree_List
          group by "qSpecies"
          order by "count" desc limit 100
      
      Or for two columns like this:
      
          select "qSpecies", "qSiteInfo", count(*) as "count"
          from Street_Tree_List
          group by "qSpecies", "qSiteInfo"
          order by "count" desc limit 100
      
      Refs [\#44]()

    - Added `--build=master` option to datasette publish and package.
      
      The `datasette publish` and `datasette package` commands both now
      accept an optional `--build` argument. If provided, this can be used
      to specify a branch published to GitHub that should be built into
      the container.
      
      This makes it easier to test code that has not yet been officially
      released to PyPI, e.g.:
      
          datasette publish now mydb.db --branch=master

    - Implemented `?_search=XXX` + UI if a FTS table is detected.
      
      Closes [\#131]()

    - Added `datasette --version` support.

    - Table views now show expanded foreign key references, if possible.
      
      If a table has foreign key columns, and those foreign key tables
      have `label_columns`, the TableView will now query those other
      tables for the corresponding values and display those values as
      links in the corresponding table cells.
      
      label\_columns are currently detected by the `inspect()` function,
      which looks for any table that has just two columns - an ID column
      and one other - and sets the `label_column` to be that second non-ID
      column.

    - Don't prevent tabbing to "Run SQL" button ([\#117]()) \[Robert
      Gieseke\]
      
      See comment in [\#115]()

    - Add keyboard shortcut to execute SQL query ([\#115]()) \[Robert
      Gieseke\]

    - Allow `--load-extension` to be set via environment variable.

    - Add support for `?field__isnull=1` ([\#107]()) \[Ray N\]

    - Add spatialite, switch to debian and local build ([\#114]()) \[Ariel
      Núñez\]

    - Added `--load-extension` argument to datasette serve.
      
      Allows loading of SQLite extensions. Refs [\#110]().

created_at: 2017-12-10T01:33:24Z

body:
  The theme of this release is customization: Datasette now allows every aspect of its presentation [to be customized](http://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/custom_templates.html) either using additional CSS or by providing entirely new templates.

  Datasette's [metadata.json format](http://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/metadata.html) has also been expanded, to allow per-database and per-table metadata. A new `datasette skeleton` command can be used to generate a skeleton JSON file ready to be filled in with per-database and per-table details.

  The `metadata.json` file can also be used to define [canned queries](http://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sql_queries.html#canned-queries), as a more powerful alternative to SQL views.

    - `extra_css_urls`/`extra_js_urls` in metadata
      
      A mechanism in the `metadata.json` format for adding custom CSS and JS urls.
      
      Create a `metadata.json` file that looks like this:
      
          {
              "extra_css_urls": [
                  "https://simonwillison.net/static/css/all.bf8cd891642c.css"
              ],
              "extra_js_urls": [
                  "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js"
              ]
          }
      
      Then start datasette like this:
      
          datasette mydb.db --metadata=metadata.json
      
      The CSS and JavaScript files will be linked in the `<head>` of every page.
      
      You can also specify a SRI (subresource integrity hash) for these assets:
      
          {
              "extra_css_urls": [
                  {
                      "url": "https://simonwillison.net/static/css/all.bf8cd891642c.css",
                      "sri": "sha384-9qIZekWUyjCyDIf2YK1FRoKiPJq4PHt6tp/ulnuuyRBvazd0hG7pWbE99zvwSznI"
                  }
              ],
              "extra_js_urls": [
                  {
                      "url": "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js",
                      "sri": "sha256-k2WSCIexGzOj3Euiig+TlR8gA0EmPjuc79OEeY5L45g="
                  }
              ]
          }
      
      Modern browsers will only execute the stylesheet or JavaScript if the SRI hash matches the content served. You can generate hashes using <https://www.srihash.org/>

    - Auto-link column values that look like URLs ([\#153](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/153))

    - CSS styling hooks as classes on the body ([\#153](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/153))
      
      Every template now gets CSS classes in the body designed to support custom styling.
      
      The index template (the top level page at `/`) gets this:
      
          <body class="index">
      
      The database template (`/dbname/`) gets this:
      
          <body class="db db-dbname">
      
      The table template (`/dbname/tablename`) gets:
      
          <body class="table db-dbname table-tablename">
      
      The row template (`/dbname/tablename/rowid`) gets:
      
          <body class="row db-dbname table-tablename">
      
      The `db-x` and `table-x` classes use the database or table names themselves IF they are valid CSS identifiers. If they aren't, we strip any invalid characters out and append a 6 character md5 digest of the original name, in order to ensure that multiple tables which resolve to the same stripped character version still have different CSS classes.
      
      Some examples (extracted from the unit tests):
      
          "simple" => "simple"
          "MixedCase" => "MixedCase"
          "-no-leading-hyphens" => "no-leading-hyphens-65bea6"
          "_no-leading-underscores" => "no-leading-underscores-b921bc"
          "no spaces" => "no-spaces-7088d7"
          "-" => "336d5e"
          "no $ characters" => "no--characters-59e024"

    - `datasette --template-dir=mytemplates/` argument
      
      You can now pass an additional argument specifying a directory to look for custom templates in.
      
      Datasette will fall back on the default templates if a template is not found in that directory.

    - Ability to over-ride templates for individual tables/databases.
      
      It is now possible to over-ride templates on a per-database / per-row or per-table basis.
      
      When you access e.g. `/mydatabase/mytable` Datasette will look for the following:
      
          - table-mydatabase-mytable.html
          - table.html
      
      If you provided a `--template-dir` argument to datasette serve it will look in that directory first.
      
      The lookup rules are as follows:
      
          Index page (/):
              index.html
          
          Database page (/mydatabase):
              database-mydatabase.html
              database.html
          
          Table page (/mydatabase/mytable):
              table-mydatabase-mytable.html
              table.html
          
          Row page (/mydatabase/mytable/id):
              row-mydatabase-mytable.html
              row.html
      
      If a table name has spaces or other unexpected characters in it, the template filename will follow the same rules as our custom `<body>` CSS classes - for example, a table called "Food Trucks" will attempt to load the following templates:
      
          table-mydatabase-Food-Trucks-399138.html
          table.html
      
      It is possible to extend the default templates using Jinja template inheritance. If you want to customize EVERY row template with some additional content you can do so by creating a row.html template like this:
      
          {% extends "default:row.html" %}
          
          {% block content %}
          <h1>EXTRA HTML AT THE TOP OF THE CONTENT BLOCK</h1>
          <p>This line renders the original block:</p>
          {{ super() }}
          {% endblock %}

    - `--static` option for datasette serve ([\#160](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/160))
      
      You can now tell Datasette to serve static files from a specific location at a specific mountpoint.
      
      For example:
      
          datasette serve mydb.db --static extra-css:/tmp/static/css
      
      Now if you visit this URL:
      
          http://localhost:8001/extra-css/blah.css
      
      The following file will be served:
      
          /tmp/static/css/blah.css

    - Canned query support.
      
      Named canned queries can now be defined in `metadata.json` like this:
      
          {
              "databases": {
                  "timezones": {
                      "queries": {
                          "timezone_for_point": "select tzid from timezones ..."
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
      
      These will be shown in a new "Queries" section beneath "Views" on the database page.

    - New `datasette skeleton` command for generating `metadata.json` ([\#164](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/164))

    - `metadata.json` support for per-table/per-database metadata ([\#165](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/165))
      
      Also added support for descriptions and HTML descriptions.
      
      Here's an example metadata.json file illustrating custom per-database and per-table metadata:
      
          {
              "title": "Overall datasette title",
              "description_html": "This is a <em>description with HTML</em>.",
              "databases": {
                  "db1": {
                      "title": "First database",
                      "description": "This is a string description & has no HTML",
                      "license_url": "http://example.com/",
                  "license": "The example license",
                      "queries": {
                        "canned_query": "select * from table1 limit 3;"
                      },
                      "tables": {
                          "table1": {
                              "title": "Custom title for table1",
                              "description": "Tables can have descriptions too",
                              "source": "This has a custom source",
                              "source_url": "http://example.com/"
                          }
                      }
                  }
              }
          }

    - Renamed `datasette build` command to `datasette inspect` ([\#130](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/130))

    - Upgrade to Sanic 0.7.0 ([\#168](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/168))
      
      <https://github.com/channelcat/sanic/releases/tag/0.7.0>

    - Package and publish commands now accept `--static` and `--template-dir`
      
      Example usage:
      
          datasette package --static css:extra-css/ --static js:extra-js/ \
            sf-trees.db --template-dir templates/ --tag sf-trees --branch master
      
      This creates a local Docker image that includes copies of the templates/, extra-css/ and extra-js/ directories. You can then run it like this:
      
          docker run -p 8001:8001 sf-trees
      
      For publishing to Zeit now:
      
          datasette publish now --static css:extra-css/ --static js:extra-js/ \
            sf-trees.db --template-dir templates/ --name sf-trees --branch master

    - HTML comment showing which templates were considered for a page ([\#171](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/171))

  The biggest new feature in this release is the ability to sort by column. On the table page the column headers can now be clicked to apply sort (or descending sort), or you can specify `?_sort=column` or `?_sort_desc=column` directly in the URL.

  You can try this feature out on [this fivethirtyeight data](https://fivethirtyeight.datasettes.com/fivethirtyeight/congress-age%2Fcongress-terms) about the ages of different US politicians.

    - `table_rows` =\> `table_rows_count`, `filtered_table_rows` =\> `filtered_table_rows_count`
      
      Renamed properties. Closes [\#194](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/194)

    - New `sortable_columns` option in `metadata.json` to control sort options.
      
      You can now explicitly set which columns in a table can be used for sorting using the `_sort` and `_sort_desc` arguments using `metadata.json`:
      
          {
              "databases": {
                  "database1": {

      New `_shape=` parameter replacing old `.jsono` extension
      
      Now instead of this:
      
          /database/table.jsono
      
      We use the `_shape` parameter like this:
      
          /database/table.json?_shape=objects
      
      Also introduced a new `_shape` called `object` which looks like this:
      
          /database/table.json?_shape=object
      
      Returning an object for the rows key:
      
          ...

  This release introduces [support for units](http://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/metadata.html#specifying-units-for-a-column), contributed by Russ Garrett ([\#203](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/203)). You can now optionally specify the units for specific columns using `metadata.json`. Once specified, units will be displayed in the HTML view of your table. They also become available for use in filters - if a column is configured with a unit of distance, you can request all rows where that column is less than 50 meters or more than 20 feet [for example](https://wtr-api.herokuapp.com/wtr-663ea99/license_frequency?frequency__gt=50GHz&height__lt=50ft).

    - Link foreign keys which don't have labels. \[Russ Garrett\]
      
      This renders unlabeled FKs as simple links.
      
      Also includes bonus fixes for two minor issues:
      
        - In foreign key link hrefs the primary key was escaped using HTML escaping rather than URL escaping. This broke some non-integer PKs.
        - Print tracebacks to console when handling 500 errors.

    - Fix SQLite error when loading rows with no incoming FKs. \[Russ Garrett\]
      
      This fixes `ERROR: conn=<sqlite3.Connection object at 0x10bbb9f10>, sql = 'select ', params = {'id': '1'}` caused by an invalid query when loading incoming FKs.
      
      The error was ignored due to async but it still got printed to the console.

    - Allow custom units to be registered with Pint. \[Russ Garrett\]

    - Support units in filters. \[Russ Garrett\]

    - Tidy up units support. \[Russ Garrett\]
      
        - Add units to exported JSON

  This is the first preview of the new Datasette plugins mechanism. Only two plugin hooks are available so far - for custom SQL functions and custom template filters. There's plenty more to come - read [the documentation](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins.html) and get involved in [the tracking ticket](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/14) if you have feedback on the direction so far.

  - Fix for `_sort_desc=sortable_with_nulls` test, refs [#216](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/216)

  - Fixed [#216](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/216) - paginate correctly when sorting by nullable column

  - Initial documentation for plugins, closes [#213](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/213)

    https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins.html

  - New `--plugins-dir=plugins/` option ([#212](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/212))

    New option causing Datasette to load and evaluate all of the Python files in the specified directory and register any plugins that are defined in those files.

    This new option is available for the following commands:

        datasette serve mydb.db --plugins-dir=plugins/
        datasette publish now/heroku mydb.db --plugins-dir=plugins/
        datasette package mydb.db --plugins-dir=plugins/

  - Start of the plugin system, based on pluggy ([#210](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/14))

    Uses https://pluggy.readthedocs.io/ originally created for the py.test project

    We're starting with two plugin hooks:

    `prepare_connection(conn)`

    This is called when a new SQLite connection is created. It can be used to register custom SQL functions.

    `prepare_jinja2_environment(env)`

    This is called with the Jinja2 environment. It can be used to register custom template tags and filters.

    An example plugin which uses these two hooks can be found at https://github.com/simonw/datasette-plugin-demos or installed using `pip install datasette-plugin-demos`

    Refs [#14](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/14)

  - Return HTTP 405 on InvalidUsage rather than 500. [Russ Garrett]

    This also stops it filling up the logs. This happens for HEAD requests at the moment - which perhaps should be handled better, but that's a different issue.

  Mostly new work on the [Plugins](http://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins.html) mechanism: plugins can now bundle static assets and custom templates, and ``datasette publish`` has a new ``--install=name-of-plugin`` option.

  - Add col-X classes to HTML table on custom query page
  - Fixed out-dated template in documentation
  - Plugins can now bundle custom templates, #224
  - Added /-/metadata /-/plugins /-/inspect, #225
  - Documentation for --install option, refs #223
  - Datasette publish/package --install option, #223
  - Fix for plugins in Python 3.5, #222
  - New plugin hooks: extra_css_urls() and extra_js_urls(), #214
  - /-/static-plugins/PLUGIN_NAME/ now serves static/ from plugins
  - <th> now gets class="col-X" - plus added col-X documentation
  - Use to_css_class for table cell column classes

    This ensures that columns with spaces in the name will still
    generate usable CSS class names. Refs #209
  - Add column name classes to <td>s, make PK bold [Russ Garrett]
  - Don't duplicate simple primary keys in the link column [Russ Garrett]

    When there's a simple (single-column) primary key, it looks weird to
    duplicate it in the link column.

    This change removes the second PK column and treats the link column as
    if it were the PK column from a header/sorting perspective.
  - Correct escaping for HTML display of row links [Russ Garrett]
  - Longer time limit for test_paginate_compound_keys

    It was failing intermittently in Travis - see #209
  - Use application/octet-stream for downloadable databses
  - Updated PyPI classifiers
  - Updated PyPI link to pypi.org

  New JSON `_shape=` options, the ability to set table `_size=` and a mechanism for searching within specific columns.

    - Default tests to using a longer timelimit
      
      Every now and then a test will fail in Travis CI on Python 3.5 because it hit the default 20ms SQL time limit.
      
      Test fixtures now default to a 200ms time limit, and we only use the 20ms time limit for the specific test that tests query interruption.

      This should make our tests on Python 3.5 in Travis much more stable.

      Also added documentation for all of the `_special` arguments.
      
      Plus deleted some duplicate logic implementing `_group_count`.

    - If `max_returned_rows==page_size`, increment `max_returned_rows` - fixes [\#230](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/230)

    - New `hidden: True` option for table metadata, closes [\#239](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/239)

published_at: 2019-12-30T06:26:09Z
body:
  This release changes the behaviour of `upsert`. It’s a breaking change, hence 2.0.

  The `upsert` command-line utility and the `.upsert()` and `.upsert_all()` Python API methods have had their behaviour altered. They used to completely replace the affected records: now, they update the specified values on existing records but leave other columns unaffected.

  See [Upserting data using the Python API](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-upsert) and [Upserting data using the CLI](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#upserting-data) for full details.

  If you want the old behaviour - where records were completely replaced - you can use `$ sqlite-utils insert ... --replace` on the command-line and `.insert(..., replace=True)` and `.insert_all(..., replace=True)` in the Python API. See [Insert-replacing data using the Python API](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-insert-replace) and [Insert-replacing data using the CLI](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-insert-replace) for more.

  For full background on this change, see issue #66.

  - `datasette package` now accepts a `--port` option for specifying which port the resulting Docker container should listen on. (#661)

  You can now create [custom pages](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/0.41/custom_templates.html#custom-pages) within your Datasette instance using a custom template file. For example, adding a template file called `templates/pages/about.html` will result in a new page being served at `/about` on your instance. See the [custom pages documentation](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/0.41/custom_templates.html#custom-pages) for full details, including how to return custom HTTP headers, redirects and status codes. (#648)

  [Configuration directory mode](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/0.41/config.html#config-dir) (#731) allows you to define a custom Datasette instance as a directory. So instead of running the following:

      $ datasette one.db two.db \
        --metadata.json \
        --template-dir=templates/ \
        --plugins-dir=plugins \
        --static css:css

  You can instead arrange your files in a single directory called `my-project` and run this:

      $ datasette my-project/

  Also in this release:

  -   New `NOT LIKE` table filter: `?colname__notlike=expression`. (#750)
  -   Datasette now has a *pattern portfolio* at `/-/patterns` - e.g. <https://latest.datasette.io/-/patterns>. This is a page that shows every Datasette user interface component in one place, to aid core development and people building custom CSS themes. (#151)
  -   SQLite [PRAGMA functions](https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragfunc) such as `pragma_table_info(tablename)` are now allowed in Datasette SQL queries. (#761)
  -   Datasette pages now consistently return a `content-type` of `text/html; charset=utf-8"`. (#752)
  -   Datasette now handles an ASGI `raw_path` value of `None`, which should allow compatibilty with the [Mangum](https://github.com/erm/mangum) adapter for running ASGI apps on AWS Lambda. Thanks, Colin Dellow. (#719)
  -   Installation documentation now covers how to [Install using pipx](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/0.41/installation.html#installation-pipx). (#756)
  -   Improved the documentation for [Full-text search](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/0.41/full_text_search.html#full-text-search).

body:
  The main focus of this release is a major upgrade to the [register_output_renderer(datasette)](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins.html#plugin-register-output-renderer) plugin hook, which allows plugins to provide new output formats for Datasette such as [datasette-atom](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-atom) and [datasette-ics](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-ics).

  -   Redesign of [register_output_renderer(datasette)](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins.html#plugin-register-output-renderer) to provide more context to the render callback and support an optional `"can_render"` callback that controls if a suggested link to the output format is provided. ([#581](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/581), [#770](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/770))
  -   Visually distinguish float and integer columns - useful for figuring out why order-by-column might be returning unexpected results. ([#729](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/729))
  -   The [Request object](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/internals.html#internals-request), which is passed to several plugin hooks, is now documented. ([#706](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/706))
  -   New `metadata.json` option for setting a custom default page size for specific tables and views, see [Setting a custom page size](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/metadata.html#metadata-page-size). ([#751](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/751))
  -   Canned queries can now be configured with a default URL fragment hash, useful when working with plugins such as [datasette-vega](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-vega), see [Setting a default fragment](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/sql_queries.html#canned-queries-default-fragment). ([#706](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/706))
  -   Fixed a bug in `datasette publish` when running on operating systems where the `/tmp` directory lives in a different volume, using a backport of the Python 3.8 `shutil.copytree()` function. ([#744](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/744))
  -   Every plugin hook is now covered by the unit tests, and a new unit test checks that each plugin hook has at least one corresponding test. ([#771](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/771), [#773](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/773))

  Magic parameters for canned queries, a log out feature, improved plugin documentation and four new plugin hooks.

  ### Magic parameters for canned queries

  Canned queries now support [Magic parameters](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/sql_queries.html#canned-queries-magic-parameters), which can be used to insert or select automatically generated values. For example:
  ```sql
  insert into logs
    (user_id, timestamp)
  values
    (:_actor_id, :_now_datetime_utc)
  ```
  This inserts the currently authenticated actor ID and the current datetime. ([#842](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/842))

  ### Log out

  The [ds_actor cookie](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/authentication.html#authentication-ds-actor) can be used by plugins (or by Datasette's [--root mechanism](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/authentication.html#authentication-root)) to authenticate users. The new `/-/logout` page provides a way to clear that cookie.

  A "Log out" button now shows in the global navigation provided the user is authenticated using the `ds_actor` cookie. ([#840](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/840))

  ### Better plugin documentation

  The plugin documentation has been re-arranged into four sections, including a brand new section on testing plugins. ([#687](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/687))

  -   [Plugins](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins.html#plugins) introduces Datasette's plugin system and describes how to install and configure plugins.
  -   [Writing plugins](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/writing_plugins.html#writing-plugins) describes how to author plugins, from simple one-off plugins to packaged plugins that can be published to PyPI. It also describes how to start a plugin using the new [datasette-plugin](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-plugin) cookiecutter template.
  -   [Plugin hooks](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hooks) is a full list of detailed documentation for every Datasette plugin hook.
  -   [Testing plugins](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/testing_plugins.html#testing-plugins) describes how to write tests for Datasette plugins, using [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/) and [HTTPX](https://www.python-httpx.org/).

  ### New plugin hooks

  -   [register_magic_parameters(datasette)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-register-magic-parameters) can be used to define new types of magic canned query parameters.
  -   [startup(datasette)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-startup) can run custom code when Datasette first starts up. [datasette-init](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-init) is a new plugin that uses this hook to create database tables and views on startup if they have not yet been created. ([#834](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/834))
  -   [canned_queries(datasette, database, actor)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-canned-queries) lets plugins provide additional canned queries beyond those defined in Datasette's metadata. See [datasette-saved-queries](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-saved-queries) for an example of this hook in action. ([#852](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/852))
  -   [forbidden(datasette, request, message)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-forbidden) is a hook for customizing how Datasette responds to 403 forbidden errors. ([#812](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/812))

  ### Smaller changes

  -   Cascading view permissons - so if a user has `view-table` they can view the table page even if they do not have `view-database` or `view-instance`. ([#832](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/832))
  -   CSRF protection no longer applies to `Authentication: Bearer token` requests or requests without cookies. ([#835](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/835))
  -   `datasette.add_message()` now works inside plugins. ([#864](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/864))
  -   Workaround for "Too many open files" error in test runs. ([#846](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/846))
  -   Respect existing `scope["actor"]` if already set by ASGI middleware. ([#854](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/854))
  -   New process for shipping [Alpha and beta releases](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/contributing.html#contributing-alpha-beta). ([#807](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/807))
  -   `{{ csrftoken() }}` now works when plugins render a template using `datasette.render_template(..., request=request)`. ([#863](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/863))
  -   Datasette now creates a single [Request object](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#internals-request) and uses it throughout the lifetime of the current HTTP request. ([#870](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/870))

  The theme of this release is better tools for working with binary data. The new `insert-files` command can be used to insert binary files directly into a database table, and other commands have been improved with better support for BLOB columns.

  -   `sqlite-utils insert-files my.db gifs *.gif` can now insert the contents of files into a specified table. The columns in the table can be customized to include different pieces of metadata derived from the files. See [Inserting binary data from files](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-insert-files). ([#122](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/122))
  -   `--raw` option to `sqlite-utils query` - for outputting just a single raw column value - see [Returning raw data from a query, such as binary content](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-query-raw). ([#123](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/123))
  -   JSON output now encodes BLOB values as special base64 obects - see [Running queries and returning JSON](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-query-json). ([#125](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/125))
  -   The same format of JSON base64 objects can now be used to insert binary data - see [Inserting JSON data](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-inserting-data). ([#126](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/126))
  -   The `sqlite-utils query` command can now accept named parameters, e.g. `sqlite-utils :memory: "select :num * :num2" -p num 5 -p num2 6` - see [Running queries and returning JSON](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-query-json).

  -   You can now specify a full-text search tokenizer using the new `tokenize=` parameter to [enable_fts()](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-fts). This means you can enable Porter stemming on a table by running `db["articles"].enable_fts(["headline", "body"], tokenize="porter")`. ([#130](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/130))
  -   You can also set a custom tokenizer using the [sqlite-utils enable-fts](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-fts) CLI command, via the new `--tokenize` option.

  **Warning:** This release contains a security fix related to authenticated writable canned queries. If you are using this feature you should upgrade as soon as possible.

  -   **Security fix:** CSRF tokens were incorrectly included in read-only canned query forms, which could allow them to be leaked to a sophisticated attacker. See [issue 918](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/918) for details.
  -   Datasette now supports GraphQL via the new [datasette-graphql](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-graphql) plugin - see [GraphQL in Datasette with the new datasette-graphql plugin](https://simonwillison.net/2020/Aug/7/datasette-graphql/).
  -   Principle git branch has been renamed from `master` to `main`. ([#849](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/849))
  -   New debugging tool: `/-/allow-debug tool` ([demo here](https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug)) helps test allow blocks against actors, as described in [Defining permissions with "allow" blocks](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/authentication.html#authentication-permissions-allow). ([#908](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/908))
  -   New logo for the documentation, and a new project tagline: "An open source multi-tool for exploring and publishing data".
  -   Whitespace in column values is now respected on display, using `white-space: pre-wrap`. ([#896](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/896))
  -   New `await request.post_body()` method for accessing the raw POST body, see [Request object](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/internals.html#internals-request). ([#897](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/897))
  -   Database file downloads now include a `content-length` HTTP header, enabling download progress bars. ([#905](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/905))
  -   File downloads now also correctly set the suggested file name using a `content-disposition` HTTP header. ([#909](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/909))
  -   `tests` are now excluded from the Datasette package properly - thanks, abeyerpath. ([#456](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/456))
  -   The Datasette package published to PyPI now includes `sdist` as well as `bdist_wheel`.
  -   Better titles for canned query pages. ([#887](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/887))
  -   Now only loads Python files from a directory passed using the `--plugins-dir` option - thanks, Amjith Ramanujam. ([#890](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/pull/890))
  -   New documentation section on [Publishing to Vercel](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/publish.html#publish-vercel).

  -   Datasette now has [a GitHub discussions forum](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/discussions) for conversations about the project that go beyond just bug reports and issues.
  -   Datasette can now be installed on macOS using Homebrew! Run `brew install simonw/datasette/datasette`. See [Using Homebrew](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#installation-homebrew). ([#335](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/335))
  -   Two new commands: `datasette install name-of-plugin` and `datasette uninstall name-of-plugin`. These are equivalent to `pip install` and `pip uninstall` but automatically run in the same virtual environment as Datasette, so users don't have to figure out where that virtual environment is - useful for installations created using Homebrew or `pipx`. See [Installing plugins](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins.html#plugins-installing). ([#925](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/925))
  -   A new command-line option, `datasette --get`, accepts a path to a URL within the Datasette instance. It will run that request through Datasette (without starting a web server) and print out the repsonse. See [datasette --get](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started.html#getting-started-datasette-get) for an example. ([#926](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/926))

body:
  This release introduces two key new capabilities: **transform** ([#114](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/114)) and **extract** ([#42](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/42)).

  ### Transform

  SQLite's ALTER TABLE has [several documented limitations](https://sqlite.org/lang_altertable.html). The `table.transform()` Python method and `sqlite-utils transform` CLI command work around these limitations using a pattern where a new table with the desired structure is created, data is copied over to it and the old table is then dropped and replaced by the new one.

  You can use these tools to drop columns, change column types, rename columns, add and remove `NOT NULL` and defaults, remove foreign key constraints and more. See the [transforming tables (CLI)](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-transform-table) and [transforming tables (Python library)](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-transform) documentation for full details of how to use them.

  ### Extract

  Sometimes a database table - especially one imported from a CSV file - will contain duplicate data. A `Trees` table may include a `Species` column with only a few dozen unique values, when the table itself contains thousands of rows.

  The `table.extract()` method and `sqlite-utils extract` commands can extract a column - or multiple columns - out into a separate lookup table, and set up a foreign key relationship from the original table.

  The Python library [extract() documentation](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-extract) describes how extraction works in detail, and [Extracting columns into a separate table](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-extract) in the CLI documentation includes a detailed example.

  ### Other changes

  -   The `@db.register_function` decorator can be used to quickly register Python functions as custom SQL functions, see [Registering custom SQL functions](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-register-function). ([#162](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/162))
  -   The `table.rows_where()` method now accepts an optional `select=` argument for specifying which columns should be selected, see [Listing rows](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-rows).

body:
  -   `table.extract()` and `sqlite-utils extract` now apply much, much faster - one example operation reduced from twelve minutes to just four seconds! ([#172](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/172))
  -   `sqlite-utils extract` no longer shows a progress bar, because it's fast enough not to need one.
  -   New `column_order=` option for `table.transform()` which can be used to alter the order of columns in a table. ([#175](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/175))
  -   `sqlite-utils transform --column-order=` option (with a `-o` shortcut) for changing column order. ([#176](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/176))
  -   The `table.transform(drop_foreign_keys=)` parameter and the `sqlite-utils transform --drop-foreign-key` option have changed. They now accept just the name of the column rather than requiring all three of the column, other table and other column. This is technically a backwards-incompatible change but I chose not to bump the major version number because the transform feature is so new. ([#177](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/177))
  -   The table `.disable_fts()`, `.rebuild_fts()`, `.delete()`, `.delete_where()` and `.add_missing_columns()` methods all now `return self`, which means they can be chained together with other table operations.

  The key new feature in this release is the **column actions** menu on the table page ([#891](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/891)). This can be used to sort a column in ascending or descending order, facet data by that column or filter the table to just rows that have a value for that column.

  Plugin authors can use the new [datasette.client](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#internals-datasette-client) object to make internal HTTP requests from their plugins, allowing them to make use of Datasette's JSON API. ([#943](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/943))

  New [Deploying Datasette](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/deploying.html#deploying) documentation with guides for deploying Datasette on a Linux server [using systemd](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/deploying.html#deploying-systemd) or to hosting providers [that support buildpacks](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/deploying.html#deploying-buildpacks).

  A new visual design, plugin hooks for adding navigation options, better handling of binary data, URL building utility methods and better support for running Datasette behind a proxy.

  ### New visual design

  Datasette is no longer white and grey with blue and purple links! [Natalie Downe](https://twitter.com/natbat) has been working on a visual refresh, the first iteration of which is included in this release. ([#1056](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/pull/1056))

  ![datasette-0 51](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9599/97791267-d9011e80-1b8d-11eb-9b1b-42908266f36f.png)

  ### Plugins can now add links within Datasette

  A number of existing Datasette plugins add new pages to the Datasette interface, providig tools for things like [uploading CSVs](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-upload-csvs), [editing table schemas](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-edit-schema) or [configuring full-text search](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-configure-fts).

  Plugins like this can now link to themselves from other parts of Datasette interface. The [menu_links(datasette, actor)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-menu-links) hook ([#1064](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1064)) lets plugins add links to Datasette's new top-right application menu, and the [table_actions(datasette, actor, database, table)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-table-actions) hook ([#1066](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1066)) adds links to a new "table actions" menu on the table page.

  The demo at [latest.datasette.io](https://latest.datasette.io/) now includes some example plugins. To see the new table actions menu first [sign into that demo as root](https://latest.datasette.io/login-as-root) and then visit the [facetable](https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/facetable) table to see the new cog icon menu at the top of the page.

  ### Binary data

  SQLite tables can contain binary data in `BLOB` columns. Datasette now provides links for users to download this data directly from Datasette, and uses those links to make binary data available from CSV exports. See [Binary data](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/binary_data.html#binary) for more details. ([#1036](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1036) and [#1034](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1034)).

  ### URL building

  The new [datasette.urls](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#internals-datasette-urls) family of methods can be used to generate URLs to key pages within the Datasette interface, both within custom templates and Datasette plugins. See [Building URLs within plugins](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/writing_plugins.html#writing-plugins-building-urls) for more details. ([#904](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/904))

  ### Running Datasette behind a proxy

  The [base_url](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/config.html#config-base-url) configuration option is designed to help run Datasette on a specific path behind a proxy - for example if you want to run an instance of Datasette at `/my-datasette/` within your existing site's URL hierarchy, proxied behind nginx or Apache.

  Support for this configuration option has been greatly improved ([#1023](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1023)), and guidelines for using it are now available in a new documentation section on [Running Datasette behind a proxy](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/deploying.html#deploying-proxy). ([#1027](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1027))

  ### Smaller changes

  - Wide tables shown within Datasette now scroll horizontally ([#998](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/998)). This is achieved using a new `<div class="table-wrapper">` element which may impact the implementation of some plugins (for example [this change to datasette-cluster-map](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-cluster-map/commit/fcb4abbe7df9071c5ab57defd39147de7145b34e)).
  - New [debug-menu](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/authentication.html#permissions-debug-menu) permission. ([#1068](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1068))
  - Removed `--debug` option, which didn't do anything. ([#814](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/814))
  - `Link:` HTTP header pagination. ([#1014](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1014))
  - `x` button for clearing filters. ([#1016](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1016))
  - Edit SQL button on canned queries, ([#1019](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1019))
  - `--load-extension=spatialite` shortcut. ([#1028](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1028))
  - scale-in animation for column action menu. ([#1039](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1039))
  - Option to pass a list of templates to `.render_template()` is now documented. ([#1045](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1045))
  - New `datasette.urls.static_plugins()` method. ([#1033](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1033))
  - `datasette -o` option now opens the most relevant page. ([#976](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/976))
  - `datasette --cors` option now enables access to `/database.db` downloads. ([#1057](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1057))

  - New documentation on [Designing URLs for your plugin](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/writing_plugins.html#writing-plugins-designing-urls). ([#1053](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1053))

  This release introduces a new `sqlite-utils search` command for searching tables, see [Executing searches](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html#cli-search). ([#192](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/192))

  The `table.search()` method has been redesigned, see [Searching with table.search()](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python-api.html#python-api-fts-search). ([#197](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/197))

  The release includes minor backwards-incompatible changes, hence the version bump to 3.0. Those changes, which should not affect most users, are:

  -   The `-c` shortcut option for outputting CSV is no longer available. The full `--csv` option is required instead.
  -   The `-f` shortcut for `--fmt` has also been removed - use `--fmt`.
  -   The `table.search()` method now defaults to sorting by relevance, not sorting by `rowid`. ([#198](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/198))
  -   The `table.search()` method now returns a generator over a list of Python dictionaries. It previously returned a list of tuples.

  Also in this release:

  -   The `query`, `tables`, `rows` and `search` CLI commands now accept a new `--tsv` option which outputs the results in TSV. ([#193](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/193))
  -   A new `table.virtual_table_using` property reveals if a table is a virtual table, and returns the upper case type of virtual table (e.g. `FTS4` or `FTS5`) if it is. It returns `None` if the table is not a virtual table. ([#196](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/196))
  -   The new `table.search_sql()` method returns the SQL for searching a table, see [Building SQL queries with table.search_sql()](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python-api.html#python-api-fts-search-sql).
  -   `sqlite-utils rows` now accepts multiple optional `-c` parameters specifying the columns to return. ([#200](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/200))

  Changes since the 3.0a0 alpha release:

  -   The `sqlite-utils search` command now defaults to returning every result, unless you add a `--limit 20` option.
  -   The `sqlite-utils search -c` and `table.search(columns=[])` options are now fully respected. ([#201](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/201))

  This release includes a number of changes relating to an internal rebranding effort: Datasette's **configuration** mechanism (things like `datasette --config default_page_size:10`) has been renamed to **settings**.

  -   New `--setting default_page_size 10` option as a replacement for `--config default_page_size:10` (note the lack of a colon). The `--config` option is deprecated but will continue working until Datasette 1.0. ([#992](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/992))
  -   The `/-/config` introspection page is now `/-/settings`, and the previous page redirects to the new one. ([#1103](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1103))
  -   The `config.json` file in [Configuration directory mode](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/settings.html#config-dir) is now called `settings.json`. ([#1104](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1104))
  -   The undocumented `datasette.config()` internal method has been replaced by a documented [.setting(key)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#datasette-setting) method. ([#1107](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1107))

  Also in this release:

  -   New plugin hook: [database_actions(datasette, actor, database)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-database-actions), which adds menu items to a new cog menu shown at the top of the database page. ([#1077](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1077))
  -   `datasette publish cloudrun` has a new `--apt-get-install` option that can be used to install additional Ubuntu packages as part of the deployment. This is useful for deploying the new [datasette-ripgrep plugin](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-ripgrep). ([#1110](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1110))
  -   Swept the documentation to remove words that minimize involved difficulty. ([#1089](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1089))

  And some bug fixes:

  -   Foreign keys linking to rows with blank label columns now display as a hyphen, allowing those links to be clicked. ([#1086](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1086))
  -   Fixed bug where row pages could sometimes 500 if the underlying queries exceeded a time limit. ([#1088](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1088))
  -   Fixed a bug where the table action menu could appear partially obscured by the edge of the page. ([#1084](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1084))

  This release introduces a new mechanism for speeding up `count(*)` queries using cached table counts, stored in a `_counts` table and updated by triggers. This mechanism is described in [Cached table counts using triggers](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-cached-table-counts), and can be enabled using Python API methods or the new `enable-counts` CLI command. ([#212](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/212))

  - `table.enable_counts()` method for enabling these triggers on a specific table.
  - `db.enable_counts()` method for enabling triggers on every table in the database. ([#213](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/213))
  - New `sqlite-utils enable-counts my.db` command for enabling counts on all or specific tables, see [Enabling cached counts](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-enable-counts). ([#214](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/214))

  - New `db.use_counts_table` property which, if `True`, causes `table.count` to read from the `_counts` table. ([#215](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/215))
  - `table.has_counts_triggers` property revealing if a table has been configured with the new `_counts` database triggers.
  - `db.reset_counts()` method and `sqlite-utils reset-counts` command for resetting the values in the `_counts` table. ([#219](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/219))
  - The previously undocumented `db.escape()` method has been renamed to `db.quote()` and is now covered by the documentation: [Quoting strings for use in SQL](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-quote). ([#217](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/217))

body:
  The two big new features in this release are the `_internal` SQLite in-memory database storing details of all connected databases and tables, and support for JavaScript modules in plugins and additional scripts.

  For additional commentary on this release, see [Datasette 0.54, the annotated release notes](https://simonwillison.net/2021/Jan/25/datasette/).

  ### The _internal database

  As part of ongoing work to help Datasette handle much larger numbers of connected databases and tables (see [Datasette Library](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/417)) Datasette now maintains an in-memory SQLite database with details of all of the attached databases, tables, columns, indexes and foreign keys. ([#1150](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1150))

  This will support future improvements such as a searchable, paginated homepage of all available tables.

  You can explore an example of this database by [signing in as root](https://latest.datasette.io/login-as-root) to the `latest.datasette.io` demo instance and then navigating to [latest.datasette.io/_internal](https://latest.datasette.io/_internal).

  Plugins can use these tables to introspect attached data in an efficient way. Plugin authors should note that this is not yet considered a stable interface, so any plugins that use this may need to make changes prior to Datasette 1.0 if the `_internal` table schemas change.

  ### Named in-memory database support

  As part of the work building the `_internal` database, Datasette now supports named in-memory databases that can be shared across multiple connections. This allows plugins to create in-memory databases which will persist data for the lifetime of the Datasette server process. ([#1151](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1151))

  The new `memory_name=` parameter to the [Database class](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#internals-database) can be used to create named, shared in-memory databases.

  ### JavaScript modules

  [JavaScript modules](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Modules) were introduced in ECMAScript 2015 and provide native browser support for the `import` and `export` keywords.

  To use modules, JavaScript needs to be included in `<script>` tags with a `type="module"` attribute.

  Datasette now has the ability to output `<script type="module">` in places where you may wish to take advantage of modules. The `extra_js_urls` option described in [Custom CSS and JavaScript](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/custom_templates.html#customization-css-and-javascript) can now be used with modules, and module support is also available for the [extra_body_script()](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-extra-body-script) plugin hook. ([#1186](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1186), [#1187](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1187))

  [datasette-leaflet-freedraw](https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-leaflet-freedraw) is the first example of a Datasette plugin that takes advantage of the new support for JavaScript modules. See [Drawing shapes on a map to query a SpatiaLite database](https://simonwillison.net/2021/Jan/24/drawing-shapes-spatialite/) for more on this plugin.

  ### Code formatting with Black and Prettier

  Datasette adopted [Black](https://github.com/psf/black) for opinionated Python code formatting in June 2019. Datasette now also embraces [Prettier](https://prettier.io/) for JavaScript formatting, which like Black is enforced by tests in continuous integration. Instructions for using these two tools can be found in the new section on [Code formatting](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/contributing.html#contributing-formatting) in the contributors documentation. ([#1167](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1167))

  ### Other changes

  -   Datasette can now open multiple database files with the same name, e.g. if you run `datasette path/to/one.db path/to/other/one.db`. ([#509](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/509))
  -   `datasette publish cloudrun` now sets `force_https_urls` for every deployment, fixing some incorrect `http://` links. ([#1178](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1178))
  -   Fixed a bug in the example nginx configuration in [Running Datasette behind a proxy](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/deploying.html#deploying-proxy). ([#1091](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1091))
  -   The [Datasette Ecosystem](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/ecosystem.html#ecosystem) documentation page has been reduced in size in favour of the `datasette.io` [tools](https://datasette.io/tools) and [plugins](https://datasette.io/plugins) directories. ([#1182](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1182))
  -   The request object now provides a `request.full_path` property, which returns the path including any query string. ([#1184](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1184))
  -   Better error message for disallowed `PRAGMA` clauses in SQL queries. ([#1185](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1185))
  -   `datasette publish heroku` now deploys using `python-3.8.7`.
  -   New plugin testing documentation on [Testing outbound HTTP calls with pytest-httpx](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/testing_plugins.html#testing-plugins-pytest-httpx). ([#1198](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1198))
  -   All `?_*` query string parameters passed to the table page are now persisted in hidden form fields, so parameters such as `?_size=10` will be correctly passed to the next page when query filters are changed. ([#1194](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1194))
  -   Fixed a bug loading a database file called `test-database (1).sqlite`. ([#1181](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1181))

  Support for cross-database SQL queries and built-in support for serving via HTTPS.

  -   The new `--crossdb` command-line option causes Datasette to attach up to ten database files to the same `/_memory` database connection. This enables cross-database SQL queries, including the ability to use joins and unions to combine data from tables that exist in different database files. See [Cross-database queries](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/sql_queries.html#cross-database-queries) for details. ([#283](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/283))
  -   `--ssl-keyfile` and `--ssl-certfile` options can be used to specify a TLS certificate, allowing Datasette to serve traffic over `https://` without needing to run it behind a separate proxy. ([#1221](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1221))
  -   The `/:memory:` page has been renamed (and redirected) to `/_memory` for consistency with the new `/_internal` database introduced in Datasette 0.54. ([#1205](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1205))
  -   Added plugin testing documentation on [Using pdb for errors thrown inside Datasette](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable//testing_plugins.html#testing-plugins-pdb). ([#1207](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1207))
  -   The [official Datasette Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/datasetteproject/datasette) now uses Python 3.7.10, applying [the latest security fix](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3710/) for that Python version. ([#1235](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1235))

  **Warning**: This release fixes a [reflected cross-site scripting](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/xss/#reflected-xss-attacks) security hole with the `?_trace=1` feature. You should upgrade to this version, or to Datasette 0.56.1, as soon as possible. ([#1360](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1360))

  In addition to the security fix, this release includes `?_col=` and `?_nocol=` options for controlling which columns are displayed for a table, `?_facet_size=` for increasing the number of facet results returned, re-display of your SQL query should an error occur and numerous bug fixes.

  ### New features

  -   If an error occurs while executing a user-provided SQL query, that query is now re-displayed in an editable form along with the error message. ([#619](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/619))
  -   New `?_col=` and `?_nocol=` parameters to show and hide columns in a table, plus an interface for hiding and showing columns in the column cog menu. ([#615](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/615))
  -   A new `?_facet_size=` parameter for customizing the number of facet results returned on a table or view page. ([#1332](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1332))
  -   `?_facet_size=max` sets that to the maximum, which defaults to 1,000 and is controlled by the the [max_returned_rows](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/settings.html#setting-max-returned-rows) setting. If facet results are truncated the ... at the bottom of the facet list now links to this parameter. ([#1337](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1337))
  -   `?_nofacet=1` option to disable all facet calculations on a page, used as a performance optimization for CSV exports and `?_shape=array/object`. ([#1349](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1349), [#263](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/263))
  -   `?_nocount=1` option to disable full query result counts. ([#1353](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1353))
  -   `?_trace=1` debugging option is now controlled by the new [trace_debug](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/settings.html#setting-trace-debug) setting, which is turned off by default. ([#1359](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1359))

  ### Bug fixes and other improvements

  -   [Custom pages](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/custom_templates.html#custom-pages) now work correctly when combined with the [base_url](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/settings.html#setting-base-url) setting. ([#1238](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1238))
  -   Fixed intermittent error displaying the index page when the user did not have permission to access one of the tables. Thanks, Guy Freeman. ([#1305](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1305))
  -   Columns with the name "Link" are no longer incorrectly displayed in bold. ([#1308](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1308))
  -   Fixed error caused by tables with a single quote in their names. ([#1257](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1257))
  -   Updated dependencies: `pytest-asyncio`, `Black`, `jinja2`, `aiofiles`, `click`, and `itsdangerous`.
  -   The official Datasette Docker image now supports `apt-get install`. ([#1320](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1320))
  -   The Heroku runtime used by `datasette publish heroku` is now `python-3.8.10`.

  This release introduces the `sqlite-utils memory` command, which can be used to load CSV or JSON data into a temporary in-memory database and run SQL queries (including joins across multiple files) directly against that data.

  Also new: `sqlite-utils insert --detect-types`, `sqlite-utils dump`, `table.use_rowid` plus some smaller fixes.

  ### sqlite-utils memory

  This example of `sqlite-utils memory` retrieves information about the all of the repositories in the [Dogsheep](https://github.com/dogsheep) organization on GitHub using [this JSON API](https://api.github.com/users/dogsheep/repos), sorts them by their number of stars and outputs a table of the top five (using `-t`):

  ```
  $ curl -s 'https://api.github.com/users/dogsheep/repos'\
    | sqlite-utils memory - '
        select full_name, forks_count, stargazers_count
        from stdin order by stargazers_count desc limit 5
      ' -t
  full_name                            forks_count    stargazers_count
  ---------------------------------  -------------  ------------------
  dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite                    12                 225
  dogsheep/github-to-sqlite                     14                 139
  dogsheep/dogsheep-photos                       5                 116
  dogsheep/dogsheep.github.io                    7                  90
  dogsheep/healthkit-to-sqlite                   4                  85
  ```

  The tool works against files on disk as well. This example joins data from two CSV files:

  ```
  $ cat creatures.csv
  species_id,name
  1,Cleo
  2,Bants
  2,Dori
  2,Azi
  $ cat species.csv
  id,species_name
  1,Dog
  2,Chicken
  $ sqlite-utils memory species.csv creatures.csv '
    select * from creatures join species on creatures.species_id = species.id
  '
  [{"species_id": 1, "name": "Cleo", "id": 1, "species_name": "Dog"},
   {"species_id": 2, "name": "Bants", "id": 2, "species_name": "Chicken"},
   {"species_id": 2, "name": "Dori", "id": 2, "species_name": "Chicken"},
   {"species_id": 2, "name": "Azi", "id": 2, "species_name": "Chicken"}]
  ```

  Here the `species.csv` file becomes the `species` table, the `creatures.csv` file becomes the `creatures` table and the output is JSON, the default output format.

  You can also use the `--attach` option to attach existing SQLite database files to the in-memory database, in order to join data from CSV or JSON directly against your existing tables.

  Full documentation of this new feature is available in [Querying data directly using an in-memory database](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-memory). ([#272](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/272))

  ### sqlite-utils insert --detect-types

  The [sqlite-utils insert](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-inserting-data) command can be used to insert data from JSON, CSV or TSV files into a SQLite database file. The new `--detect-types` option (shortcut `-d`), when used in conjunction with a CSV or TSV import, will automatically detect if columns in the file are integers or floating point numbers as opposed to treating everything as a text column and create the new table with the corresponding schema. See [Inserting CSV or TSV data](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-insert-csv-tsv) for details. ([#282](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/282))

  ### Other changes

  -   **Bug fix**: `table.transform()`, when run against a table without explicit primary keys, would incorrectly create a new version of the table with an explicit primary key column called `rowid`. ([#284](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/284))
  -   New `table.use_rowid` introspection property, see [.use_rowid](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-introspection-use-rowid). ([#285](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/285))
  -   The new `sqlite-utils dump file.db` command outputs a SQL dump that can be used to recreate a database. ([#274](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/274))
  -   `-h` now works as a shortcut for `--help`, thanks Loren McIntyre. ([#276](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/276))
  -   Now using [pytest-cov](https://pytest-cov.readthedocs.io/) and [Codecov](https://about.codecov.io/) to track test coverage - currently at 96%. ([#275](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/275))
  -   SQL errors that occur when using `sqlite-utils query` are now displayed as CLI errors.

  This release introduces the new [sqlite-utils convert command](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-convert) ([#251](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/251)) and corresponding [table.convert(...)](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-convert) Python method ([#302](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/302)). These tools can be used to apply a Python conversion function to one or more columns of a table, either updating the column in place or using transformed data from that column to populate one or more other columns.

  This command-line example uses the Python standard library [textwrap module](https://docs.python.org/3/library/textwrap.html) to wrap the content of the `content` column in the `articles` table to 100 characters:
  ```
  $ sqlite-utils convert content.db articles content\
      '"\n".join(textwrap.wrap(value, 100))'\
      --import=textwrap
  ```
  The same operation in Python code looks like this:
  ```python
  import sqlite_utils, textwrap

  db = sqlite_utils.Database("content.db")
  db["articles"].convert("content", lambda v: "\n".join(textwrap.wrap(v, 100)))
  ```
  See the full documentation for the [sqlite-utils convert command](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-convert) and the [table.convert(...)](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-convert) Python method for more details.

  Also in this release:

  -   The new `table.count_where(...)` method, for counting rows in a table that match a specific SQL `WHERE` clause. ([#305](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/305))
  -   New `--silent` option for the [sqlite-utils insert-files command](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-insert-files) to hide the terminal progress bar, consistent with the `--silent` option for `sqlite-utils convert`. ([#301](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/301))

  - The `table.lookup()` method now has an optional second argument which can be used to populate columns only the first time the record is created, see [Working with lookup tables](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-lookup-tables). ([#339](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/339))
  - `sqlite-utils memory` now has a `--flatten` option for [flattening nested JSON objects](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-inserting-data-flatten) into separate columns, consistent with `sqlite-utils insert`. ([#332](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/332))
  - `table.create_index(..., find_unique_name=True)` parameter, which finds an available name for the created index even if the default name has already been taken. This means that `index-foreign-keys` will work even if one of the indexes it tries to create clashes with an existing index name. ([#335](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/335))
  - Added `py.typed` to the module, so [mypy](http://mypy-lang.org/) should now correctly pick up the type annotations. Thanks, Andreas Longo. ([#331](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/331))
  - Now depends on `python-dateutil` instead of depending on `dateutils`. Thanks, Denys Pavlov. ([#324](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/324))
  - `table.create()` (see [Explicitly creating a table](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-explicit-create)) now handles `dict`, `list` and `tuple` types, mapping them to `TEXT` columns in SQLite so that they can be stored encoded as JSON. ([#338](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/338))
  - Inserted data with square braces in the column names (for example a CSV file containing a `item[price]`) column now have the braces converted to underscores: `item_price_`. Previously such columns would be rejected with an error. ([#329](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/329))
  - Now also tested against Python 3.10. ([#330](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/pull/330))

  CLI and Python library improvements to help run [ANALYZE](https://www.sqlite.org/lang_analyze.html) after creating indexes or inserting rows, to gain better performance from the SQLite query planner when it runs against indexes.

  Three new CLI commands: `create-database`, `analyze` and `bulk`.

  More details and examples can be found in the [annotated release notes](https://simonwillison.net/2022/Jan/11/sqlite-utils/).

  -   New `sqlite-utils create-database` command for creating new empty database files. ([#348](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/348))
  -   New Python methods for running `ANALYZE` against a database, table or index: `db.analyze()` and `table.analyze()`, see [Optimizing index usage with ANALYZE](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-analyze). ([#366](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/366))

  -   The `create-index`, `insert` and `upsert` commands now have a new `--analyze` option for running `ANALYZE` after the command has completed. ([#379](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/379))
  -   New [sqlite-utils bulk command](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-bulk) which can import records in the same way as `sqlite-utils insert` (from JSON, CSV or TSV) and use them to bulk execute a parametrized SQL query. ([#375](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/375))
  -   The CLI tool can now also be run using `python -m sqlite_utils`. ([#368](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/368))
  -   Using `--fmt` now implies `--table`, so you don't need to pass both options. ([#374](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/374))
  -   The `--convert` function applied to rows can now modify the row in place. ([#371](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/371))

  -   The `--nl` import option now ignores blank lines in the input. ([#376](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/376))
  -   Fixed bug where streaming input to the `insert` command with `--batch-size 1` would appear to only commit after several rows had been ingested, due to unnecessary input buffering. ([#364](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/364))

  ### Plugins and internals

  -   New plugin hook: [filters_from_request(request, database, table, datasette)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-filters-from-request), which runs on the table page and can be used to support new custom query string parameters that modify the SQL query. ([#473](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/473))
  -   Added two additional methods for writing to the database: [await db.execute_write_script(sql, block=True)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#database-execute-write-script) and [await db.execute_write_many(sql, params_seq, block=True)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#database-execute-write-many). ([#1570](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1570))
  -   The [db.execute_write()](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#database-execute-write) internal method now defaults to blocking until the write operation has completed. Previously it defaulted to queuing the write and then continuing to run code while the write was in the queue. ([#1579](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1579))
  -   Database write connections now execute the [prepare_connection(conn, database, datasette)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-prepare-connection) plugin hook. ([#1564](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1564))
  -   The `Datasette()` constructor no longer requires the `files=` argument, and is now documented at [Datasette class](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#internals-datasette). ([#1563](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1563))
  -   The tracing feature now traces write queries, not just read queries. ([#1568](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1568))

  ### Faceting

  -   The number of unique values in a facet is now always displayed. Previously it was only displayed if the user specified `?_facet_size=max`. ([#1556](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1556))
  -   Facets of type `date` or `array` can now be configured in `metadata.json`, see [Facets in metadata.json](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/facets.html#facets-metadata). Thanks, David Larlet. ([#1552](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1552))
  -   New `?_nosuggest=1` parameter for table views, which disables facet suggestion. ([#1557](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1557))
  -   Fixed bug where `?_facet_array=tags&_facet=tags` would only display one of the two selected facets. ([#625](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/625))

  ### Other small fixes

  -   Made several performance improvements to the database schema introspection code that runs when Datasette first starts up. ([#1555](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1555))
  -   Label columns detected for foreign keys are now case-insensitive, so `Name` or `TITLE` will be detected in the same way as `name` or `title`. ([#1544](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1544))
  -   Upgraded Pluggy dependency to 1.0. ([#1575](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1575))

  -   `explain query plan` is now allowed with varying amounts of whitespace in the query. ([#1588](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1588))
  -   New [CLI reference](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/cli-reference.html#cli-reference) page showing the output of `--help` for each of the `datasette` sub-commands. This lead to several small improvements to the help copy. ([#1594](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1594))
  -   Fixed bug where writable canned queries could not be used with custom templates. ([#1547](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1547))

  This release introduces four new utility methods for working with [SpatiaLite](https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/libspatialite/index). Thanks, Chris Amico. ([#330](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/pull/385))

  -   `sqlite_utils.utils.find_spatialite()` [finds the location of the SpatiaLite module](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-gis-find-spatialite) on disk.
  -   `db.init_spatialite()` [initializes SpatiaLite](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-gis-init-spatialite) for the given database.
  -   `table.add_geometry_column(...)` [adds a geometry column](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-gis-add-geometry-column) to an existing table.
  -   `table.create_spatial_index(...)` [creates a spatial index](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-gis-create-spatial-index) for a column.
  -   `sqlite-utils batch` now accepts a `--batch-size` option. ([#392](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/392))

  -   `Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Link` is now added to the CORS headers, allowing remote JavaScript to access that header.
  -   Canned queries are now shown at the top of the database page, directly below the SQL editor. Previously they were shown at the bottom, below the list of tables. ([#1612](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1612))
  -   Datasette now has a default favicon. ([#1603](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1603))

  In preparation for Datasette 1.0, this release includes two potentially backwards-incompatible changes. Hashed URL mode has been moved to a separate plugin, and the way Datasette generates URLs to databases and tables with special characters in their name such as `/` and `.` has changed.

  Datasette also now requires Python 3.7 or higher.

  See also the [annotated release notes](https://simonwillison.net/2022/Mar/24/datasette-061/).

  - The `sqlite-utils query`, `memory` and `bulk` commands now all accept a new `--functions` option. This can be passed a string of Python code, and any callable objects defined in that code will be made available to SQL queries as custom SQL functions. See [Defining custom SQL functions](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-query-functions) for details. ([#471](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/471))
  - `db[table].create(...)` method now accepts a new `transform=True` parameter. If the table already exists it will be transform to match the schema configuration options passed to the function. This may result in columns being added or dropped, column types being changed, column order being updated or not null and default values for columns being set. ([#467](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/467))
  - Related to the above, the `sqlite-utils create-table` command now accepts a `--transform` option.
  - New introspection property: `table.default_values` returns a dictionary mapping each column name with a default value to the configured default value. ([#475](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/475))
  - The `--load-extension` option can now be provided a path to a compiled SQLite extension module accompanied by the name of an entrypoint, separated by a colon - for example `--load-extension ./lines0:sqlite3_lines0_noread_init`. This feature is modelled on code first [contributed to Datasette](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/pull/1789) by Alex Garcia. ([#470](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/470))
  - Functions registered using the [db.register_function()](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-register-function) method can now have a custom name specified using the new `db.register_function(fn, name=...)` parameter. ([#458](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/458))
  - [sqlite-utils rows](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-rows) has a new `--order` option for specifying the sort order for the returned rows. ([#469](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/469))
  - All of the CLI options that accept Python code blocks can now all be used to define functions that can access modules imported in that same block of code without needing to use the `global` keyword. ([#472](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/472))
  - Fixed bug where `table.extract()` would not behave correctly for columns containing null values. Thanks, Forest Gregg. ([#423](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/423))
  - New tutorial: [Cleaning data with sqlite-utils and Datasette](https://datasette.io/tutorials/clean-data) shows how to use `sqlite-utils` to import and clean an example CSV file.
  - Datasette and `sqlite-utils` now have a Discord community. [Join the Discord here](https://discord.gg/Ass7bCAMDw).

  This first alpha release of Datasette 1.0 introduces a brand new collection of APIs for writing to the database ([#1850](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1850)), as well as a new API token mechanism baked into Datasette core. Previously, API tokens have only been supported by installing additional plugins.

  This is very much a preview: expect many more backwards incompatible API changes prior to the full 1.0 release.

  Feedback enthusiastically welcomed, either through [issue comments](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1850) or via the [Datasette Discord](https://datasette.io/discord) community.

  ### Signed API tokens

  - New `/-/create-token` page allowing authenticated users to create signed API tokens that can act on their behalf, see [API Tokens](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0-dev/authentication.html#createtokenview). ([#1852](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1852))
  - New `datasette create-token` command for creating tokens from the command line: [datasette create-token](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0-dev/authentication.html#authentication-cli-create-token).
  - New [allow_signed_tokens](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0-dev/settings.html#setting-allow-signed-tokens) setting which can be used to turn off signed token support. ([#1856](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1856))
  - New [max_signed_tokens_ttl](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0-dev/settings.html#setting-max-signed-tokens-ttl) setting for restricting the maximum allowed duration of a signed token. ([#1858](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1858))

  ### Write API

  - New API explorer at `/-/api` for trying out the API. ([#1871](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1871))
  - `/db/-/create` API for [Creating a table](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0-dev/json_api.html#tablecreateview). ([#1882](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1882))
  - `/db/table/-/insert` API for [Inserting rows](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0-dev/json_api.html#tableinsertview). ([#1851](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1851))
  - `/db/table/-/drop` API for [Dropping tables](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0-dev/json_api.html#tabledropview). ([#1874](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1874))
  - `/db/table/pk/-/update` API for [Updating a row](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0-dev/json_api.html#rowupdateview). ([#1863](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1863))
  - `/db/table/pk/-/delete` API for [Deleting a row](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0-dev/json_api.html#rowdeleteview). ([#1864](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1864))

  - Write APIs now serve correct CORS headers if Datasette is started in `--cors` mode. See the full list of [CORS headers](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/json_api.html#json-api) in the documentation. ([#1922](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1922))
  - Fixed a bug where the `_memory` database could be written to even though writes were not persisted. ([#1917](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1917))
  - The <https://latest.datasette.io/> demo instance now includes an `ephemeral` database which can be used to test Datasette's write APIs, using the new [datasette-ephemeral-tables](https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-ephemeral-tables) plugin to drop any created tables after five minutes. This database is only available if you sign in as the root user using the link on the homepage. ([#1915](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1915))
  - Fixed a bug where hitting the write endpoints with a `GET` request returned a 500 error. It now returns a 405 (method not allowed) error instead. ([#1916](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1916))
  - The list of endpoints in the API explorer now lists mutable databases first. ([#1918](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1918))
  - The `"ignore": true` and `"replace": true` options for the insert API are [now documented](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/json_api.html#tableinsertview). ([#1924](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1924))

  The third Datasette 1.0 alpha release adds upsert support to the JSON API, plus the ability to specify finely grained permissions when creating an API token.

  See [Datasette 1.0a2: Upserts and finely grained permissions](https://simonwillison.net/2022/Dec/15/datasette-1a2/) for an extended, annotated version of these release notes.

  - New `/db/table/-/upsert` API, [documented here](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/json_api.html#tableupsertview). upsert is an update-or-insert: existing rows will have specified keys updated, but if no row matches the incoming primary key a brand new row will be inserted instead. ([#1878](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1878))
  - New [register_permissions(datasette)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-register-permissions) plugin hook. Plugins can now register named permissions, which will then be listed in various interfaces that show available permissions. ([#1940](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1940))
  - The `/db/-/create` API for [creating a table](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/json_api.html#tablecreateview) now accepts `"ignore": true` and `"replace": true` options when called with the `"rows"` property that creates a new table based on an example set of rows. This means the API can be called multiple times with different rows, setting rules for what should happen if a primary key collides with an existing row. ([#1927](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1927))
  - Arbitrary permissions can now be configured at the instance, database and resource (table, SQL view or canned query) level in Datasette's [Metadata](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/metadata.html#metadata) JSON and YAML files. The new `"permissions"` key can be used to specify which actors should have which permissions. See [Other permissions in metadata](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/authentication.html#authentication-permissions-other) for details. ([#1636](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1636))
  - The `/-/create-token` page can now be used to create API tokens which are restricted to just a subset of actions, including against specific databases or resources. See [API Tokens](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/authentication.html#createtokenview) for details. ([#1947](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1947))
  - Likewise, the [datasette create-token](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/internals.html#create-token-actor-id-expires-after-none-restrict-all-none-restrict-database-none-restrict-resource-none) CLI command can now create tokens with [a subset of permissions](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/authentication.html#authentication-cli-create-token-restrict). ([#1855](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1855))
  - New datasette.create_token() API method <datasette_create_token>` for programmatically creating signed API tokens. ([#1951](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1951))
  - `/db/-/create` API now requires actor to have `insert-row` permission in order to use the `"row"` or `"rows"` properties. ([#1937](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1937))

  - You no longer need to ensure `await datasette.invoke_startup()` has been called in order for Datasette to start correctly serving requests - this is now handled automatically the first time the server receives a request. This fixes a bug experienced when Datasette is served directly by an ASGI application server such as Uvicorn or Gunicorn. It also fixes a bug with the [datasette-gunicorn](https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-gunicorn) plugin. ([#1955](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1955))

  - New [default_allow_sql](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/settings.html#setting-default-allow-sql) setting, providing an easier way to disable all arbitrary SQL execution by end users: `datasette --setting default_allow_sql off`. See also [Controlling the ability to execute arbitrary SQL](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/authentication.html#authentication-permissions-execute-sql). ([#1409](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1409))
  - [Building a location to time zone API with SpatiaLite](https://datasette.io/tutorials/spatialite) is a new Datasette tutorial showing how to safely use SpatiaLite to create a location to time zone API.
  - New documentation about [how to debug problems loading SQLite extensions](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/installation.html#installation-extensions). The error message shown when an extension cannot be loaded has also been improved. ([#1979](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1979))

  - Fixed a `ResourceWarning` when using `sqlite-utils insert`. ([#534](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/534))
  - Now shows a more detailed error message when `sqlite-utils insert` is called with invalid JSON. ([#532](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/ises/532))
  - `table.convert(..., skip_false=False)` and `sqlite-utils convert --no-skip-false` options, for avoiding a misfeature where the [convert()](http://127.0.0.1:8000/python-api.html#python-api-convert) mechanism skips rows in the database with a falsey value for the specified column. Fixing this by default would be a backwards-incompatible change and is under consideration for a 4.0 release in the future. ([#527](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/527))

This uses `sqlite-dump` if it is available, otherwise falling back on the `conn.iterdump()` method from `sqlite3`. Both `pysqlite3` and `sqlean.py` omit support for `iterdump()` - this method helps paper over that difference.

  This release introduces a new [plugin system](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins.html#plugins). ([#567](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/567))

  -   Documentation describing [how to build a plugin](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins.html#plugins-building).
  -   Plugin hook: [register_commands(cli)](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins.html#plugins-hooks-register-commands), for plugins to add extra commands to `sqlite-utils`. ([#569](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/569))
  -   Plugin hook: [prepare_connection(conn)](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins.html#plugins-hooks-prepare-connection). Plugins can use this to help prepare the SQLite connection to do things like registering custom SQL functions. Thanks, [Alex Garcia](https://github.com/asg017). ([#574](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/574))
  -   `sqlite_utils.Database(..., execute_plugins=False)` option for disabling plugin execution. ([#575](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/575))
  - `sqlite-utils install -e path-to-directory` option for installing editable code. This option is useful during the development of a plugin. ([#570](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/570))
  - `table.create(...)` method now accepts `replace=True` to drop and replace an existing table with the same name, or `ignore=True` to silently do nothing if a table already exists with the same name. ([#568](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/568))
  - `sqlite-utils insert ... --stop-after 10` option for stopping the insert after a specified number of records. Works for the `upsert` command as well. ([#561](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/561))
  - The `--csv` and `--tsv` modes for `insert` now accept a `--empty-null` option, which cases empty strings in the CSV file to be stored as `null` in the database. ([#563](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/563))
  - New `db.rename_table(table_name, new_name)` method for renaming tables. ([#565](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/565))
  - `sqlite-utils rename-table my.db table_name new_name` command for renaming tables. ([#565](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/565))
  - The `table.transform(...)` method now takes an optional `keep_table=new_table_name` parameter, which will cause the original table to be renamed to `new_table_name` rather than being dropped at the end of the transformation. ([#571](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/571))
  - Documentation now notes that calling `table.transform()` without any arguments will reformat the SQL schema stored by SQLite to be more aesthetically pleasing. ([#564](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/564))

  This alpha release previews the updated design for Datasette's default JSON API. ([#782](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/782))

  The new [default JSON representation](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0a3/json_api.html#json-api-default) for both table pages (`/dbname/table.json`) and arbitrary SQL queries (`/dbname.json?sql=...`) is now shaped like this:
  ```json
  {
    "ok": true,
    "rows": [
      {
        "id": 3,
        "name": "Detroit"
      },
      {
        "id": 2,
        "name": "Los Angeles"
      },
      {
        "id": 4,
        "name": "Memnonia"
      },
      {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "San Francisco"
      }
    ],
    "truncated": false
  }
  ```
  Tables will include an additional `"next"` key for pagination, which can be passed to `?_next=` to fetch the next page of results.

  The various `?_shape=` options continue to work as before - see [Different shapes](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0a3/json_api.html#json-api-shapes) for details.

  A new `?_extra=` mechanism is available for tables, but has not yet been stabilized or documented. Details on that are available in [#262](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/262).

  ### Smaller changes

  - Datasette documentation now shows YAML examples for [Metadata](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0a3/metadata.html#metadata) by default, with a tab interface for switching to JSON. ([#1153](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1153))
  - [register_output_renderer(datasette)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0a3/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-register-output-renderer) plugins now have access to `error` and `truncated` arguments, allowing them to display error messages and take into account truncated results. ([#2130](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2130))
  - `render_cell()` plugin hook now also supports an optional `request` argument. ([#2007](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2007))
  - New `Justfile` to support development workflows for Datasette using [Just](https://github.com/casey/just).
  - `datasette.render_template()` can now accepts a `datasette.views.Context` subclass as an alternative to a dictionary. ([#2127](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2127))
  - `datasette install -e path` option for editable installations, useful while developing plugins. ([#2106](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2106))
  - When started with the `--cors` option Datasette now serves an `Access-Control-Max-Age: 3600` header, ensuring CORS OPTIONS requests are repeated no more than once an hour. ([#2079](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2079))
  - Fixed a bug where the `_internal` database could display `None` instead of `null` for in-memory databases. ([#1970](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1970))

  Adding foreign keys to a table no longer uses `PRAGMA writable_schema = 1` to directly manipulate the `sqlite_master` table. This was resulting in errors in some Python installations where the SQLite library was compiled in a way that prevented this from working, in particular on macOS. Foreign keys are now added using the [table transformation](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-transform) mechanism instead. ([#577](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/577))

  This new mechanism creates a full copy of the table, so it is likely to be significantly slower for large tables, but will no longer trigger table `sqlite_master may not be modified` errors on platforms that do not support `PRAGMA writable_schema = 1`.

  A new plugin, [sqlite-utils-fast-fks](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils-fast-fks), is now available for developers who still want to use that faster but riskier implementation.

  Other changes:

  - The [table.transform() method](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-transform) has two new parameters: `foreign_keys=` allows you to replace the foreign key constraints defined on a table, and `add_foreign_keys=` lets you specify new foreign keys to add. These complement the existing `drop_foreign_keys=` parameter. ([#577](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/577))
  - The [sqlite-utils transform](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-transform-table) command has a new `--add-foreign-key` option which can be called multiple times to add foreign keys to a table that is being transformed. ([#585](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/585))
  - [sqlite-utils convert](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-convert) now has a `--pdb` option for opening a debugger on the first encountered error in your conversion script. ([#581](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/581))
  - Fixed a bug where `sqlite-utils install -e '.[test]'` option did not work correctly.

  This alpha fixes a security issue with the `/-/api` API explorer. On authenticated Datasette instances (instances protected using plugins such as [datasette-auth-passwords](https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-auth-passwords)) the API explorer interface could reveal the names of databases and tables within the protected instance. The data stored in those tables was not revealed.

  For more information and workarounds, read [the security advisory](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/security/advisories/GHSA-7ch3-7pp7-7cpq). The issue has been present in every previous alpha version of Datasette 1.0: versions 1.0a0, 1.0a1, 1.0a2 and 1.0a3.

  Also in this alpha:

  - The new `datasette plugins --requirements` option outputs a list of currently installed plugins in Python `requirements.txt` format, useful for duplicating that installation elsewhere. ([#2133](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2133))
  - [Writable canned queries](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/sql_queries.html#canned-queries-writable) can now define a `on_success_message_sql` field in their configuration, containing a SQL query that should be executed upon successful completion of the write operation in order to generate a message to be shown to the user. ([#2138](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2138))
  - The automatically generated border color for a database is now shown in more places around the application. ([#2119](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2119))
  - Every instance of example shell script code in the documentation should now include a working copy button, free from additional syntax. ([#2140](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2140))

  - When restrictions are applied to [API tokens](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0a5/authentication.html#createtokenview), those restrictions now behave slightly differently: applying the `view-table` restriction will imply the ability to `view-database` for the database containing that table, and both `view-table` and `view-database` will imply `view-instance`. Previously you needed to create a token with restrictions that explicitly listed `view-instance` and `view-database` and `view-table` in order to view a table without getting a permission denied error. ([#2102](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2102))
  - New `datasette.yaml` (or `.json`) configuration file, which can be specified using `datasette -c path-to-file`. The goal here to consolidate settings, plugin configuration, permissions, canned queries, and other Datasette configuration into a single single file, separate from `metadata.yaml`. The legacy `settings.json` config file used for [Configuration directory mode](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0a5/settings.html#config-dir) has been removed, and `datasette.yaml` has a `"settings"` section where the same settings key/value pairs can be included. In the next future alpha release, more configuration such as plugins/permissions/canned queries will be moved to the `datasette.yaml` file. See [#2093](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2093) for more details. Thanks, Alex Garcia.
  - The `-s/--setting` option can now take dotted paths to nested settings. These will then be used to set or over-ride the same options as are present in the new configuration file. ([#2156](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2156))
  - New `--actor '{"id": "json-goes-here"}'` option for use with `datasette --get` to treat the simulated request as being made by a specific actor, see [datasette --get](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0a5/cli-reference.html#cli-datasette-get). ([#2153](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2153))
  - The Datasette `_internal` database has had some changes. It no longer shows up in the `datasette.databases` list by default, and is now instead available to plugins using the `datasette.get_internal_database()`. Plugins are invited to use this as a private database to store configuration and settings and secrets that should not be made visible through the default Datasette interface. Users can pass the new `--internal internal.db` option to persist that internal database to disk. Thanks, Alex Garcia. ([#2157](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2157)).

This mechanism is intended to be used by plugins that may need to display the actor who was responsible for something managed by that plugin: they can now resolve the recorded IDs of actors into the full actor objects. ([#2181](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2181))
  - `DATASETTE_LOAD_PLUGINS` environment variable for [controlling which plugins](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/plugins.html#plugins-datasette-load-plugins) are loaded by Datasette. ([#2164](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2164))
  - Datasette now checks if the user has permission to view a table linked to by a foreign key before turning that foreign key into a clickable link. ([#2178](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2178))
  - The `execute-sql` permission now implies that the actor can also view the database and instance. ([#2169](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2169))
  - Documentation describing a pattern for building plugins that themselves [define further hooks](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/writing_plugins.html#writing-plugins-extra-hooks) for other plugins. ([#1765](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1765))
