-   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-   The undocumented `datasette.config()` internal method has been replaced by a documented [.setting(key)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#datasette-setting) method.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))",107914493,
