changelog:v0-28-databases-that-change | changelog | v0-28-databases-that-change | Supporting databases that change | From the beginning of the project, Datasette has been designed with read-only databases in mind. If a database is guaranteed not to change it opens up all kinds of interesting opportunities - from taking advantage of SQLite immutable mode and HTTP caching to bundling static copies of the database directly in a Docker container. The interesting ideas in Datasette explores this idea in detail. As my goals for the project have developed, I realized that read-only databases are no longer the right default. SQLite actually supports concurrent access very well provided only one thread attempts to write to a database at a time, and I keep encountering sensible use-cases for running Datasette on top of a database that is processing inserts and updates. So, as-of version 0.28 Datasette no longer assumes that a database file will not change. It is now safe to point Datasette at a SQLite database which is being updated by another process. Making this change was a lot of work - see tracking tickets #418 , #419 and #420 . It required new thinking around how Datasette should calculate table counts (an expensive operation against a large, changing database) and also meant reconsidering the "content hash" URLs Datasette has used in the past to optimize the performance of HTTP caches. Datasette can still run against immutable files and gains numerous performance benefits from doing so, but this is no longer the default behaviour. Take a look at the new Performance and caching documentation section for details on how to make the most of Datasette against data that you know will be staying read-only and immutable. | ["Changelog", "0.28 (2019-05-19)"] | [{"href": "https://simonwillison.net/2018/Oct/4/datasette-ideas/", "label": "The interesting ideas in Datasette"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/418", "label": "#418"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/419", "label": "#419"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/420", "label": "#420"}] |

It's similar to Zeit's Now v1 Docker hosting platform which sadly is no longer accepting signups from new users. The new datasette publish cloudrun command was contributed by Romain Primet ( #434 ) and publishes selected databases to a new Datasette instance running on Google Cloud Run.

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.

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.

changelog:configuration | changelog | configuration | Configuration | Plugin configuration now lives in the datasette.yaml configuration file , passed to Datasette using the -c/--config option. Thanks, Alex Garcia. ( #2093 ) datasette -c datasette.yaml Where datasette.yaml contains configuration that looks like this: plugins: datasette-cluster-map: latitude_column: xlat longitude_column: xlon Previously plugins were configured in metadata.yaml , which was confusing as plugin settings were unrelated to database and table metadata. The -s/--setting option can now be used to set plugin configuration as well. See Configuration via the command-line for details. ( #2252 ) The above YAML configuration example using -s/--setting looks like this: datasette mydatabase.db \ -s plugins.datasette-cluster-map.latitude_column xlat \ -s plugins.datasette-cluster-map.longitude_column xlon The new /-/config page shows the current instance configuration, after redacting keys that could contain sensitive data such as API keys or passwords. ( #2254 ) 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 ) Note that the datasette publish command has not yet been updated to accept a datasette.yaml configuration file.

changelog:authentication | changelog | authentication | Authentication | Prior to this release the Datasette ecosystem has treated authentication as exclusively the realm of plugins, most notably through datasette-auth-github . 0.44 introduces Authentication and permissions as core Datasette concepts ( #699 ). This enables different plugins to share responsibility for authenticating requests - you might have one plugin that handles user accounts and another one that allows automated access via API keys, for example. You'll need to install plugins if you want full user accounts, but default Datasette can now authenticate a single root user with the new --root command-line option, which outputs a one-time use URL to authenticate as a root actor ( #784 ): datasette fixtures.db --root http://127.0.0.1:8001/-/auth-token?token=5b632f8cd44b868df625f5a6e2185d88eea5b22237fd3cc8773f107cc4fd6477 INFO: Started server process [14973] INFO: Waiting for application startup.

changelog:id39 | changelog | id39 | 0.52.4 (2020-12-05) | Show pysqlite3 version on /-/versions , if installed. ( #1125 ) Errors output by Datasette (e.g. for invalid SQL queries) now go to stderr , not stdout . ( #1131 ) Fix for a startup error on windows caused by unnecessary from os import EX_CANTCREAT - thanks, Abdussamet Koçak.

changelog:csrf-protection | changelog | csrf-protection | CSRF protection | Since writable canned queries are built using POST forms, Datasette now ships with CSRF protection ( #798 ). This applies automatically to any POST request, which means plugins need to include a csrftoken in any POST forms that they render. They can do that like so: <input type="hidden" name="csrftoken" value="{{ csrftoken() }}"> | ["Changelog", "0.44 (2020-06-11)"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/798", "label": "#798"}] |
changelog:id33 | changelog | id33 | 0.55 (2021-02-18) | Support for cross-database SQL queries and built-in support for serving via HTTPS. The new --crossdb command-line option causes Datasette to attach up to ten database files to the same /_memory database connection. This enables cross-database SQL queries, including the ability to use joins and unions to combine data from tables that exist in different database files. See Cross-database queries for details. ( #283 ) --ssl-keyfile and --ssl-certfile options can be used to specify a TLS certificate, allowing Datasette to serve traffic over https:// without needing to run it behind a separate proxy. ( #1221 ) The /:memory: page has been renamed (and redirected) to /_memory for consistency with the new /_internal database introduced in Datasette 0.54. ( #1205 ) Added plugin testing documentation on Using pdb for errors thrown inside Datasette . ( #1207 ) The official Datasette Docker image now uses Python 3.7.10, applying the latest security fix for that Python version.

( #2279 ) Fixed some UI bugs in the interactive permissions debugging tool. ( #2278 ) The column action menu now aligns better with the cog icon, and positions itself taking into account the width of the browser window.

changelog:permissions-fix-for-the-upsert-api | changelog | permissions-fix-for-the-upsert-api | Permissions fix for the upsert API | The /database/table/-/upsert API had a minor permissions bug, only affecting Datasette instances that had configured the insert-row and update-row permissions to apply to a specific table rather than the database or instance as a whole. Full details in issue #2262 . To avoid similar mistakes in the future the datasette.permission_allowed() method now specifies default= as a keyword-only argument. | ["Changelog", "1.0a9 (2024-02-16)"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2262", "label": "#2262"}] |

( #695 ) datasette publish cloudrun now accepts an optional --memory=2Gi flag for setting the Cloud Run allocated memory to a value other than the default (256Mi). ( #694 ) Fixed bug where templates that shipped with plugins were sometimes not being correctly loaded.

changelog:alter-table-support-for-create-insert-upsert-and-update | changelog | alter-table-support-for-create-insert-upsert-and-update | Alter table support for create, insert, upsert and update | The JSON write API can now be used to apply simple alter table schema changes, provided the acting actor has the new alter-table permission. ( #2101 ) The only alter operation supported so far is adding new columns to an existing table. The /db/-/create API now adds new columns during large operations to create a table based on incoming example "rows" , in the case where one of the later rows includes columns that were not present in the earlier batches. This requires the create-table but not the alter-table permission. When /db/-/create is called with rows in a situation where the table may have been already created, an "alter": true key can be included to indicate that any missing columns from the new rows should be added to the table. This requires the alter-table permission. /db/table/-/insert and /db/table/-/upsert and /db/table/row-pks/-/update all now also accept "alter": true , depending on the alter-table permission. Operations that alter a table now fire the new alter-table event . | ["Changelog", "1.0a9 (2024-02-16)"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2101", "label": "#2101"}] |
changelog:improved-support-for-spatialite | changelog | improved-support-for-spatialite | Improved support for SpatiaLite | The SpatiaLite module for SQLite adds robust geospatial features to the database. Getting SpatiaLite working can be tricky, especially if you want to use the most recent alpha version (with support for K-nearest neighbor). Datasette now includes extensive documentation on SpatiaLite , and thanks to Ravi Kotecha our GitHub repo includes a Dockerfile that can build the latest SpatiaLite and configure it for use with Datasette. The datasette publish and datasette package commands now accept a new --spatialite argument which causes them to install and configure SpatiaLite as part of the container they deploy. | ["Changelog", "0.23 (2018-06-18)"] | [{"href": "https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/libspatialite/index", "label": "SpatiaLite module"}, {"href": "https://github.com/r4vi", "label": "Ravi Kotecha"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/master/Dockerfile", "label": "Dockerfile"}] |
changelog:new-plugin-hook-asgi-wrapper | changelog | new-plugin-hook-asgi-wrapper | New plugin hook: asgi_wrapper | The asgi_wrapper(datasette) plugin hook allows plugins to entirely wrap the Datasette ASGI application in their own ASGI middleware. ( #520 ) Two new plugins take advantage of this hook: datasette-auth-github adds a authentication layer: users will have to sign in using their GitHub account before they can view data or interact with Datasette. You can also use it to restrict access to specific GitHub users, or to members of specified GitHub organizations or teams . datasette-cors allows you to configure CORS headers for your Datasette instance. You can use this to enable JavaScript running on a whitelisted set of domains to make fetch() calls to the JSON API provided by your Datasette instance. | ["Changelog", "0.29 (2019-07-07)"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/520", "label": "#520"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette-auth-github", "label": "datasette-auth-github"}, {"href": "https://help.github.com/en/articles/about-organizations", "label": "organizations"}, {"href": "https://help.github.com/en/articles/organizing-members-into-teams", "label": "teams"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette-cors", "label": "datasette-cors"}, {"href": "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS", "label": "CORS headers"}] |
changelog:running-datasette-behind-a-proxy | changelog | running-datasette-behind-a-proxy | Running Datasette behind a proxy | The base_url configuration option is designed to help run Datasette on a specific path behind a proxy - for example if you want to run an instance of Datasette at /my-datasette/ within your existing site's URL hierarchy, proxied behind nginx or Apache. Support for this configuration option has been greatly improved ( #1023 ), and guidelines for using it are now available in a new documentation section on Running Datasette behind a proxy .

changelog:permission-checks-now-consider-opinions-from-every-plugin | changelog | permission-checks-now-consider-opinions-from-every-plugin | Permission checks now consider opinions from every plugin | The datasette.permission_allowed() method previously consulted every plugin that implemented the permission_allowed() plugin hook and obeyed the opinion of the last plugin to return a value. ( #2275 ) Datasette now consults every plugin and checks to see if any of them returned False (the veto rule), and if none of them did, it then checks to see if any of them returned True . This is explained at length in the new documentation covering How permissions are resolved . | ["Changelog", "1.0a9 (2024-02-16)"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2275", "label": "#2275"}] |
