### 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).",140912432,sqlite-utils,

([#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.",140912432,sqlite-utils,

### 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))
- Database file downloads now implement cascading permissions, so you can download a database if you have `view-database-download` permission even if you do not have permission to access the Datasette instance. ([#1058](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1058))
- 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))",107914493,datasette,

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:

-   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))

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.

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))

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

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))

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)))
```

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).

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/).

-   URLs within Datasette now use a different encoding scheme for tables or databases that include ""special"" characters outside of the range of `a-zA-Z0-9_-`. This scheme is explained here: [Tilde encoding](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#internals-tilde-encoding). ([#1657](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1657))
-   Removed hashed URL mode from Datasette. The new `datasette-hashed-urls` plugin can be used to achieve the same result, see [datasette-hashed-urls](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/performance.html#performance-hashed-urls) for details. ([#1661](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1661))

([#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.

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))

- 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))

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))",107914493,datasette,

- 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.

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

  ""rows"": [
    {
      ""id"": 3,
      ""name"": ""Detroit""
    },
    {

    },
    {
      ""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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.

- `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))
