For example: ```sql insert into logs (user_id, timestamp) values (:_actor_id, :_now_datetime_utc) ``` This inserts the currently authenticated actor ID and the current datetime. ([#842](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/842)) ### Log out The [ds_actor cookie](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/authentication.html#authentication-ds-actor) can be used by plugins (or by Datasette's [--root mechanism](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/authentication.html#authentication-root)) to authenticate users. The new `/-/logout` page provides a way to clear that cookie. A "Log out" button now shows in the global navigation provided the user is authenticated using the `ds_actor` cookie. ([#840](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/840)) ### Better plugin documentation The plugin documentation has been re-arranged into four sections, including a brand new section on testing plugins. ([#687](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/687)) - [Plugins](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins.html#plugins) introduces Datasette's plugin system and describes how to install and configure plugins. - [Writing plugins](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/writing_plugins.html#writing-plugins) describes how to author plugins, from simple one-off plugins to packaged plugins that can be published to PyPI. It also describes how to start a plugin using the new [datasette-plugin](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-plugin) cookiecutter template. - [Plugin hooks](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hooks) is a full list of detailed documentation for every Datasette plugin hook. - [Testing plugins](https://… | 107914493 |
