datasette-acl 0.6a0 is an alpha release that broadens the plugin's scope from table-level access control to a general resource-sharing system for Datasette. Alex Garcia led most of the development, enabling multi-user Datasette instances to apply fine-grained permissions across a wider range of platform resources. As an alpha, it signals architectural direction rather than a stable feature set, but matters for teams building access-controlled, collaborative Datasette deployments.
The 0.1a3 alpha release of datasette-apps patches two access-control bugs in the Datasette plugin ecosystem. First, a bypass that let users lacking the create-app permission create apps anyway has been closed. Second, it was previously impossible to grant edit or delete rights to non-owner users; the fix aligns those permissions with the existing view model — private apps remain owner-only, while non-private apps follow Datasette's standard permission system.
Simon Willison released Datasette 1.0a31, a significant alpha release with two headline features: write SQL execution and stored queries. Users with the right permissions can now run database-changing queries and save queries privately or for other members of a Datasette instance. The new interface can generate templated insert, update, and delete queries for editable tables while blocking unauthorized actions such as creating tables without permission.
The post inspects @anthropic-ai/[email protected] and documents configuration fields not covered by the official docs. It highlights hook JSON responses, hidden skill and agent frontmatter, auto-mode rules, persistent memory, dream consolidation, Magic Docs, and permission syntax. The author frames these as practical but version-specific findings, with experimental fields especially likely to change.
