This release includes a number of changes relating to an internal rebranding effort: Datasette's configuration mechanism (things like datasette --config default_page_size:10) has been renamed to settings.
- New
--setting default_page_size 10option as a replacement for--config default_page_size:10(note the lack of a colon). The--configoption is deprecated but will continue working until Datasette 1.0. (#992) - The
/-/configintrospection page is now/-/settings, and the previous page redirects to the new one. (#1103) - The
config.jsonfile in Configuration directory mode is now calledsettings.json. (#1104) - The undocumented
datasette.config()internal method has been replaced by a documented .setting(key) method. (#1107)
Also in this release:
- New plugin hook: database_actions(datasette, actor, database), which adds menu items to a new cog menu shown at the top of the database page. (#1077)
datasette publish cloudrunhas a new--apt-get-installoption that can be used to install additional Ubuntu packages as part of the deployment. This is useful for deploying the new datasette-ripgrep plugin. (#1110)- Swept the documentation to remove words that minimize involved difficulty. (#1089)
And some bug fixes:
- Foreign keys linking to rows with blank label columns now display as a hyphen, allowing those links to be clicked. (#1086)
- Fixed bug where row pages could sometimes 500 if the underlying queries exceeded a time limit. (#1088)
- Fixed a bug where the table action menu could appear partially obscured by the edge of the page. (#1084)
