New publish_subcommand plugin hook. A plugin can now add additional datasette publish publishers in addition to the default now and heroku , both of which have been refactored into default plugins. publish_subcommand documentation . Closes #349
New render_cell plugin hook. Plugins can now customize how values are displayed in the HTML tables produced by Datasette's browsable interface. datasette-json-html and datasette-render-images are two new plugins that use this hook. render_cell documentation . Closes #352
New extra_body_script plugin hook, enabling plugins to provide additional JavaScript that should be added to the page footer. extra_body_script documentation .
extra_css_urls and extra_js_urls hooks now take additional optional parameters, allowing them to be more selective about which pages they apply to. Documentation .
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.

Test fixtures now default to a 200ms time limit, and we only use the 20ms time
