https://github.com/simonw/datasette/releases/tag/0.18,10547491,MDc6UmVsZWFzZTEwNTQ3NDkx,0.18,main,Datasette 0.18: units,0,9599,0,2018-04-14T15:36:10Z,2018-04-14T15:45:11Z,"This release introduces [support for units](http://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/metadata.html#specifying-units-for-a-column), contributed by Russ Garrett ([\#203](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/203)). You can now optionally specify the units for specific columns using `metadata.json`. Once specified, units will be displayed in the HTML view of your table. They also become available for use in filters - if a column is configured with a unit of distance, you can request all rows where that column is less than 50 meters or more than 20 feet [for example](https://wtr-api.herokuapp.com/wtr-663ea99/license_frequency?frequency__gt=50GHz&height__lt=50ft).

  - Link foreign keys which don't have labels. \[Russ Garrett\]
    
    This renders unlabeled FKs as simple links.
    
    Also includes bonus fixes for two minor issues:
    
      - In foreign key link hrefs the primary key was escaped using HTML escaping rather than URL escaping. This broke some non-integer PKs.
      - Print tracebacks to console when handling 500 errors.

  - Fix SQLite error when loading rows with no incoming FKs. \[Russ Garrett\]
    
    This fixes `ERROR: conn=<sqlite3.Connection object at 0x10bbb9f10>, sql = 'select ', params = {'id': '1'}` caused by an invalid query when loading incoming FKs.
    
    The error was ignored due to async but it still got printed to the console.

  - Allow custom units to be registered with Pint. \[Russ Garrett\]
