107914493,https://github.com/simonw/datasette,https://github.com/simonw/datasette/releases/tag/1.0a0,2022-11-29,"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))
