107914493,https://github.com/simonw/datasette,https://github.com/simonw/datasette/releases/tag/0.41,2020-05-06,"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).",2020-05-06T18:30:03Z,"[""asgi"", ""automatic-api"", ""csv"", ""datasets"", ""datasette"", ""datasette-io"", ""docker"", ""json"", ""python"", ""sql"", ""sqlite""]"
