Visit Video + notes on upgrading a Datasette plugin for the latest 1.0 alpha, with help from uv and OpenAI Codex CLI

I’m upgrading various plugins for compatibility with the new Datasette 1.0a20 alpha release and I decided to record a video of the process. This post accompanies that video with detailed additional notes.

Open redirect endpoint in Datasette prior to 0.65.2 and 1.0a21. This GitHub security advisory covers two new releases of Datasette that I shipped today, both addressing the same open redirect issue with a fix by James Jefferies.

Datasette 0.65.2 fixes the bug and also adds Python 3.14 support and a datasette publish cloudrun fix.

Datasette 1.0a21 also has that Cloud Run fix and two other small new features:

  • New datasette --get /path --headers option for inspecting the headers returned by a path. (#2578)
  • New datasette.client.get(..., skip_permission_checks=True) parameter to bypass permission checks when making requests using the internal client. (#2583)

I decided to include the Cloud Run deployment fix so anyone with Datasette instances deployed to Cloud Run can update them with the new patched versions.

This release involved 163 commits, with 10,660 additions and 1,825 deletions, most of which was written with the help of Claude Code.
