Release datasette-files 0.1a3 — Upload files to Datasette

I'm working on integrating datasette-files into other plugins, such as datasette-extract. This necessitated a new release of the base plugin.

  • owners_can_edit and owners_can_delete configuration options, plus the files-edit and files-delete actions are now scoped to a new FileResource which is a child of FileSourceResource. #18
  • The file picker UI is now available as a <datasette-file-picker> Web Component. Thanks, Alex Garcia. #19
  • New from datasette_files import get_file Python API for other plugins that need to access file data. #20

This is a beat by Simon Willison, posted on 30th March 2026.
