Datasette 1.0a39 and 0.65.4 security releases

Datasette shipped security patches 1.0a39 and 0.65.4 fixing subtle bugs in instances mixing public and private tables, found via an AI-assisted audit.

Datasette released parallel security fixes for its current alpha series (1.0a39) and stable 0.65.x family (0.65.4), advising anyone running a Datasette instance on the public web to update, especially where public and private tables are mixed. The underlying issues were reported by Sevban Dönmez and Alex Garcia, followed by an extensive audit of the codebase using Claude Fable 5.1, GPT-5.6, and GPT-6 Astra. Fixes were developed and reviewed collaboratively over nearly a week. No CVE identifiers or observed exploitation are mentioned in the announcement.

commit-rewriter 0.1

Simon Willison released commit-rewriter 0.1, a tool that rewrites git commit messages from the first edited commit, with a timestamped revert branch.

Simon Willison built commit-rewriter 0.1, a small web app for editing git commit messages, motivated by cleaning up Datasette security release commits that contained coding agent cruft and private issue IDs. It runs via 'uvx commit-rewriter path/to/repo' and creates a timestamped branch of the repo state before rewriting every commit from the first edited one to the most recent, allowing easy reversion.
