datasette 1.0a35

Datasette 1.0a35 has been released, introducing a new "Create table" interface and JSON API, an "Alter table" feature with table modification capabilities, and official documentation for template context variables as a stable API for custom templates until version 2.0.

Background

- Datasette is an open-source tool (by Simon Willison) that lets you explore and publish data from SQLite databases as a web interface, without needing to write code. - This release (1.0a35) is significant because it adds the ability to create and alter database tables through the web UI and JSON API — previously Datasette was read-only for table structure. - "Template context" is the set of variables that Datasette injects into its HTML templates; documenting them as a stable API means people who build custom templates can rely on them not breaking until the next major version (2.0).
