datasette 1.0a40

Datasette 1.0a40 alpha adds a background task plugin API and migrates to httpx2, carrying the same security fix as 0.65.5.

Simon Willison released Datasette 1.0a40, an alpha on the road to a stable 1.0, which includes the same security fix shipped in 0.65.5. New capabilities include a datasette.add_background_task() method letting plugins launch and manage background tasks, and a migration to httpx2 powering internal client methods like datasette.client.get(). Many bug fixes resulted from issue triage ahead of the 1.0 stable release.

datasette-mcp 0.2

Simon Willison released datasette-mcp 0.2, changing MCP SQL results to object arrays for better small-model usability.

Datasette-mcp 0.2 changes the execute_sql 'rows' output from an array of arrays to an array of objects, helping weaker models avoid losing track of positional column mappings. The plugin now depends on mcp>=2.1.1. This is the first non-alpha release, and the author reports using it extensively.
