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.

See also the annotated release notes.

  • 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)
  • Databases can now have a custom path within the Datasette instance that is independent of the database name, using the db.route property. (#1668)
  • Datasette is now covered by a Code of Conduct. (#1654)
  • Python 3.6 is no longer supported. (#1577)
  • Tests now run against Python 3.11-dev. (#1621)
  • New datasette.ensure_permissions(actor, permissions) internal method for checking multiple permissions at once. (#1675)
  • New datasette.check_visibility(actor, action, resource=None) internal method for checking if a user can see a resource that would otherwise be invisible to unauthenticated users. (#1678)
  • Table and row HTML pages now include a <link rel="alternate" type="application/json+datasette" href="..."> element and return a Link: URL; rel="alternate"; type="application/json+datasette" HTTP header pointing to the JSON version of those pages. (#1533)
  • Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Link is now added to the CORS headers, allowing remote JavaScript to access that header.
  • Canned queries are now shown at the top of the database page, directly below the SQL editor. Previously they were shown at the bottom, below the list of tables. (#1612)
  • Datasette now has a default favicon. (#1603)
  • sqlite_stat tables are now hidden by default. (#1587)
  • SpatiaLite tables data_licenses, KNN and KNN2 are now hidden by default. (#1601)
  • SQL query tracing mechanism now works for queries executed in asyncio sub-tasks, such as those created by asyncio.gather(). (#1576)
  • datasette.tracer mechanism is now documented.
  • Common Datasette symbols can now be imported directly from the top-level datasette package, see Import shortcuts. Those symbols are Response, Forbidden, NotFound, hookimpl, actor_matches_allow. (#957)
  • /-/versions page now returns additional details for libraries used by SpatiaLite. (#1607)
  • Documentation now links to the Datasette Tutorials.
  • Datasette will now also look for SpatiaLite in /opt/homebrew - thanks, Dan Peterson. (#1649)
  • Fixed bug where custom pages did not work on Windows. Thanks, Robert Christie. (#1545)
  • Fixed error caused when a table had a column named n. (#1228)
