changelog:v1-0-a4,changelog,v1-0-a4,1.0a4 (2023-08-21),"This alpha fixes a security issue with the  /-/api  API explorer. On authenticated Datasette instances (instances protected using plugins such as  datasette-auth-passwords ) the API explorer interface could reveal the names of databases and tables within the protected instance.

             For more information and workarounds, read  the security advisory . The issue has been present in every previous alpha version of Datasette 1.0: versions 1.0a0, 1.0a1, 1.0a2 and 1.0a3.

changelog:id174,changelog,id174,0.14 (2017-12-09),"The theme of this release is customization: Datasette now allows every aspect
                of its presentation  to be customized 
                either using additional CSS or by providing entirely new templates. 
             Datasette's  metadata.json format 
                has also been expanded, to allow per-database and per-table metadata. A new
                 datasette skeleton  command can be used to generate a skeleton JSON file
                ready to be filled in with per-database and per-table details. 
             The  metadata.json  file can also be used to define
                 canned queries ,
                as a more powerful alternative to SQL views. 
             
                 
                     extra_css_urls / extra_js_urls  in metadata 
                     A mechanism in the  metadata.json  format for adding custom CSS and JS urls. 
                     Create a  metadata.json  file that looks like this: 
                     {
    ""extra_css_urls"": [
        ""https://simonwillison.net/static/css/all.bf8cd891642c.css""
    ],
    ""extra_js_urls"": [
        ""https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js""
    ]
} 
                     Then start datasette like this: 
                     datasette mydb.db --metadata=metadata.json 
                     The CSS and JavaScript files will be linked in the  <head>  of every page. 
                     You can also specify a SRI (subresource integrity hash) for these assets: 
                     {
    ""extra_css_urls"": [
        {
            ""url"": ""https://simonwillison.net/static/css/all.bf8cd891642c.css"",
            ""sri"": ""sha384-9qIZekWUyjCyDIf2YK1FRoKiPJq4PHt6tp/ulnuuyRBvazd0hG7pWbE99zvwSznI""
        }
    ],
    ""extra_js_urls"": [
        {
            ""url"": ""https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js"",

        }
    ]
} 
                     Modern browsers will only execute the stylesheet or JavaScript if the SRI hash
                        matches the content served. You can generate hashes using  https://www.srihash.org/

                     CSS styling hooks as classes on the body ( #153 ) 
                     Every template now gets CSS classes in the body designed to support custom
                        styling. 
                     The index template (the top level page at  / ) gets this: 
                     <body class=""index""> 
                     The database template ( /dbname/ ) gets this: 
                     <body class=""db db-dbname""> 
                     The table template ( /dbname/tablename ) gets: 
                     <body class=""table db-dbname table-tablename""> 
                     The row template ( /dbname/tablename/rowid ) gets: 
                     <body class=""row db-dbname table-tablename""> 
                     The  db-x  and  table-x  classes use the database or table names themselves IF
                        they are valid CSS identifiers. If they aren't, we strip any invalid
                        characters out and append a 6 character md5 digest of the original name, in
                        order to ensure that multiple tables which resolve to the same stripped
                        character version still have different CSS classes. 
                     Some examples (extracted from the unit tests): 
                     ""simple"" => ""simple""
""MixedCase"" => ""MixedCase""
""-no-leading-hyphens"" => ""no-leading-hyphens-65bea6""
""_no-leading-underscores"" => ""no-leading-underscores-b921bc""
""no spaces"" => ""no-spaces-7088d7""
""-"" => ""336d5e""
""no $ characters"" => ""no--characters-59e024"" 
                 
                 
                     datasette --template-dir=mytemplates/  argument 
                     You can now pass an additional argument specifying a directory to look for
                        custom templates in. 
                     Datasette will fall back on the default templates if a template is not
                        found in that directory. 
                 
                 
                     Ability to over-ride templates for individual tables/databases. 
                     It is now possible to over-ride templates on a per-database / per-row or per-
                        table basis. 
                     When you access e.g.  /mydatabase/mytable  Datasette will look for the following: 
                     - table-mydatabase-mytable.html
- table.html 
                     If you provided a  --template-dir  argument to datasette serve it will look in
                        that directory first. 
                     The lookup rules are as follows: 
                     Index page (/):
    index.html

Database page (/mydatabase):
    database-mydatabase.html
    database.html

Table page (/mydatabase/mytable):
    table-mydatabase-mytable.html
    table.html

Row page (/mydatabase/mytable/id):
    row-mydatabase-mytable.html
    row.html 
                     If a table name has spaces or other unexpected characters in it, the template
                        filename will follow the same rules as our custom  <body>  CSS classes
                        - for example, a table called ""Food Trucks""
                        will attempt to load the following templates: 
                     table-mydatabase-Food-Trucks-399138.html
table.html 
                     It is possible to extend the default templates using Jinja template
                        inheritance. If you want to customize EVERY row template with some additional
                        content you can do so by creating a row.html template like this: 
                     {% extends ""default:row.html"" %}

{% block content %}
<h1>EXTRA HTML AT THE TOP OF THE CONTENT BLOCK</h1>
<p>This line renders the original block:</p>
{{ super() }}
{% endblock %} 
                 
                 
                     --static  option for datasette serve ( #160 ) 
                     You can now tell Datasette to serve static files from a specific location at a
                        specific mountpoint. 
                     For example: 
                     datasette serve mydb.db --static extra-css:/tmp/static/css 
                     Now if you visit this URL: 
                     http://localhost:8001/extra-css/blah.css 
                     The following file will be served: 
                     /tmp/static/css/blah.css 
                 
                 
                     Canned query support. 
                     Named canned queries can now be defined in  metadata.json  like this: 
                     {
    ""databases"": {
        ""timezones"": {
            ""queries"": {
                ""timezone_for_point"": ""select tzid from timezones ...""
            }
        }
    }
} 
                     These will be shown in a new ""Queries"" section beneath ""Views"" on the database page.

changelog:id152,changelog,id152,0.18 (2018-04-14),"This release introduces  support for units ,
                contributed by Russ Garrett ( #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. 
             
                 
                     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 an error caused by an invalid query when loading incoming FKs. 
                     The error was ignored due to async but it still got printed to the
                        console.

                     New  --plugins-dir=plugins/  option ( #212 ) 
                     New option causing Datasette to load and evaluate all of the Python files in
                        the specified directory and register any plugins that are defined in those
                        files. 
                     This new option is available for the following commands:

                     We're starting with two plugin hooks: 
                     prepare_connection(conn) 
                     This is called when a new SQLite connection is created. It can be used to register custom SQL functions. 
                     prepare_jinja2_environment(env) 
                     This is called with the Jinja2 environment. It can be used to register custom template tags and filters. 
                     An example plugin which uses these two hooks can be found at  https://github.com/simonw/datasette-plugin-demos  or installed using  pip install datasette-plugin-demos

                     This also stops it filling up the logs. This happens for HEAD requests
                        at the moment - which perhaps should be handled better, but that's a
                        different issue.","[""Changelog""]","[{""href"": ""https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins.html"", ""label"": ""the documentation""}, {""href"": ""https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/14"", ""label"": ""the tracking ticket""}, {""href"": ""https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/216"", ""label"": ""#216""}, {""href"": ""https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/216"", ""label"": ""#216""}, {""href"": ""https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/213"", ""label"": ""#213""}, {""href"": ""https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins.html"", ""label"": ""https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins.html""}, {""href"": ""https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/212"", ""label"": ""#212""}, {""href"": ""https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/14"", ""label"": ""#210""}, {""href"": ""https://pluggy.readthedocs.io/"", ""label"": ""https://pluggy.readthedocs.io/""}, {""href"": ""https://github.com/simonw/datasette-plugin-demos"", ""label"": ""https://github.com/simonw/datasette-plugin-demos""}, {""href"": ""https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/14"", ""label"": ""#14""}]"

                     If a table has foreign key columns, and those foreign key tables have

                        corresponding values and display those values as links in the corresponding
                        table cells. 
                     label_columns are currently detected by the  inspect()  function, which looks
                        for any table that has just two columns - an ID column and one other - and
                        sets the  label_column  to be that second non-ID column.

changelog:id18,changelog,id18,0.61 (2022-03-23),"In preparation for Datasette 1.0, this release includes two potentially backwards-incompatible changes. 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. 
             
                 
                     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 . ( #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  for details. ( #1661 )

changelog:id161,changelog,id161,0.15 (2018-04-09),"The biggest new feature in this release is the ability to sort by column. On the
                table page the column headers can now be clicked to apply sort (or descending
                sort), or you can specify  ?_sort=column  or  ?_sort_desc=column  directly

The legacy  settings.json  config file used for  Configuration directory mode  has been removed, and  datasette.yaml  has a  ""settings""  section where the same settings key/value pairs can be included.

                     The  database.execute_write_fn()  method has a new  transaction=True  parameter. This defaults to  True  which means all functions executed using this method are now automatically wrapped in a transaction - previously the functions needed to roll transaction handling on their own, and many did not. 
                 
                 
                     Pass  transaction=False  to  execute_write_fn()  if you want to manually handle transactions in your function. 
                 
                 
                     Several internal Datasette features, including parts of the  JSON write API , had been failing to wrap their operations in a transaction.

                     New  publish_subcommand  plugin hook.

                     You can now use the  sortable_columns metadata setting  to explicitly enable sort-by-column in the interface for database views, as well as for specific tables. 
                 
                 
                     The new  fts_table  and  fts_pk  metadata settings can now be used to  explicitly configure full-text search for a table or a view , even if that table is not directly coupled to the SQLite FTS feature in the database schema itself. 
                 
                 
                     Datasette will now use  pysqlite3  in place of the standard library  sqlite3  module if it has been installed in the current environment. This makes it much easier to run Datasette against a more recent version of SQLite, including the just-released  SQLite 3.25.0  which adds window function support.

                        returned by a query. If that limit is exceeded, the server will return a

changelog:v1-0-a2,changelog,v1-0-a2,1.0a2 (2022-12-14),"The third Datasette 1.0 alpha release adds upsert support to the JSON API, plus the ability to specify finely grained permissions when creating an API token. 
             See  Datasette 1.0a2: Upserts and finely grained permissions  for an extended, annotated version of these release notes. 
             
                 
                     New  /db/table/-/upsert  API,  documented here . 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 ) 
                 
                 
                     New  register_permissions(datasette)  plugin hook. Plugins can now register named permissions, which will then be listed in various interfaces that show available permissions. ( #1940 ) 
                 
                 
                     The  /db/-/create  API for  creating a table  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 ) 
                 
                 
                     Arbitrary permissions can now be configured at the instance, database and resource (table, SQL view or canned query) level in Datasette's  Metadata  JSON and YAML files. The new  ""permissions""  key can be used to specify which actors should have which permissions. See  Other permissions in datasette.yaml  for details. ( #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  for details. ( #1947 ) 
                 
                 
                     Likewise, the  datasette create-token  CLI command can now create tokens with  a subset of permissions . ( #1855 ) 
                 
                 
                     New  datasette.create_token() API method  for programmatically creating signed API tokens. ( #1951 ) 
                 
                 
                     /db/-/create  API now requires actor to have  insert-row  permission in order to use the  ""row""  or  ""rows""  properties.
