Thanks, Alex Garcia. ( #2093 ) \n                         datasette -c datasette.yaml \n                         Where  datasette.yaml  contains configuration that looks like this: \n                         plugins:\n  datasette-cluster-map:\n    latitude_column: xlat\n    longitude_column: xlon \n                         Previously plugins were configured in  metadata.yaml , which was confusing as plugin settings were unrelated to database and table metadata. \n                     \n                     \n                         The  -s/--setting  option can now be used to set plugin configuration as well. See  Configuration via the command-line  for details. ( #2252 ) \n                         The above YAML configuration example using  -s/--setting  looks like this: \n                         datasette mydatabase.db \\\n  -s plugins.datasette-cluster-map.latitude_column xlat \\\n  -s plugins.datasette-cluster-map.longitude_column xlon \n                     \n                     \n                         The new  /-/config  page shows the current instance configuration, after redacting keys that could contain sensitive data such as API keys or passwords. ( #2254 ) \n                     \n                     \n                         Existing Datasette installations may already have configuration set in  metadata.yaml  that should be migrated to  datasette.yaml . To avoid breaking these installations, Datasette will silently treat table configuration, plugin configuration and allow blocks in metadata as if they had been specified in configuration instead. ( #2247 ) ( #2248 ) ( #2249 ) \n                     \n                 \n                 Note that the  datasette publish  command has not yet been updated to accept a  datasette.yaml  configuration file. This will be addressed in  #2195  but for the moment you can include those settings in  metadata.yaml  instead.", "breadcrumbs": "[\"Changelog\", \"1.0a8 (2024-02-07)\"]", "references": "[{\"href\": \"https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2093\", \"label\": \"#2093\"}, {\"href\": \"https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2252\", \"label\": \"#2252\"}, {\"href\": \"https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2254\", \"label\": \"#2254\"}, {\"href\": \"https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2247\", \"label\": \"#2247\"}, {\"href\": \"https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2248\", \"label\": \"#2248\"}, {\"href\": \"https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2249\", \"label\": \"#2249\"}, {\"href\": \"https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2195\", \"label\": \"#2195\"}]"}
