([#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/latest/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))
-   Added two methods for writing to the database: [await db.execute_write_script(sql, block=False)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/internals.html#database-execute-write-script) and [await db.execute_write_many(sql, params_seq, block=False)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/internals.html#database-execute-write-many). ([#1570](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1570))
-   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))
-   Fixed bug where writable canned queries could not be used with custom templates.
