Datasette ships 1.0a40 and a 0.65.5 security fix, with background task support for plugins
Simon Willison·low signal
Simon Willison released both on 2026-09-16: 0.65.5 carries a security fix backported to the stable line, and 1.0a40 carries the same fix plus a new datasette.add_background_task() method for plugins, a move to httpx2 internally, and bug fixes from a triage push toward 1.0 stable. The release notes reference an active effort to clear issues for 1.0, which is the closest signal yet on timing for a project that has been in alpha for years.
