[Natalie Downe](https://twitter.com/natbat) has been working on a visual refresh, the first iteration of which is included in this release. ([#1056](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/pull/1056)) ![datasette-0 51](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9599/97791267-d9011e80-1b8d-11eb-9b1b-42908266f36f.png) ### 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).
